Everything we do is centred on helping RTOs achieve their goals.
What was initially established as a consulting business in 2009, quickly expanded in 2010, to develop holistic and learner-centred learning resources and assessment tools that filled a gap in the market under the banner of Eduworks Resources.

What Our Clients say

"Ready to go!"

I think we have made a very good choice for using Eduworks materials and assessment tools. We found the materials are: Ready to go; Suitable for learners from different backgrounds, including international students; Highly connected to the Australian workplaces and industries. One thing I particularly like about Eduworks materials/assessments is that you have created an “actual Australian Business” with website, proper business structure, policies and procedures for learners to use as the case studies. This gives our learners the opportunities to learn in a more realistic environment, instead of learning real life businesses from a boring lecture in classroom!
Louie BaiCEO, Sydney International Business College
