About Us

Asset College is a registered training organisation (RTO #31718) delivering nationally recognised qualifications across Australia.

Our name comes with a story and people regularly ask “Why ASSET?” or “What does ASSET train?” The short answer is easy “We train people because people are Assets!”

The more detailed explanation of how our name came about is two-fold: Firstly, the greatest asset in any business is its people; no matter what business you look at, the expertise and personality of the staff make that business what it is. Reputation can be gained or lost on product quality but more so by the service, skill and efficiency of the staff that work in the business. Secondly, your knowledge and skills are what make you an asset to current/future employers as well as the colleagues, customers, suppliers and others that you work with. All knowledge and skills are learnt then practised; if you invest in your learning then you will increase your ‘asset’ value, hence our slogan “Knowledge is your greatest asset!”

Over a decade on from choosing our business name, Asset College has helped tens of thousands of people and businesses to improve their knowledge and skills. The name “ASSET” is widely recognised as a quality training provider thanks to the continually improving knowledge and skills of the ASSET Team.

Our scope includes accredited short courses, Certificate qualifications, Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas, Post Graduate Certificates and Post Graduate Diplomas in a range of industries. We have a team of industry professionals and industry partners across the country contributing to the development and delivery of our programs to ensure that you receive the highest quality training available.

We believe that everybody should have access to both personal and professional development opportunities. That is why we offer flexible delivery methods for almost all of our courses. With Asset College, you can fit your study around your home and work commitments, allowing you to reach your goals without sacrificing the best things in life.

We pride ourselves on the community we have built through our dedication to great outcomes for students.

Over the years, we have built a loyal base of cliental who come to us for their education needs knowing that our quality training and the support we offer is second to none. This industry is dynamic and so too must ASSET be able to change swiftly and efficiently with the times to keep up with the changing needs of every industry we service and there is a lot! We wear many hats on a daily basis, ensuring we are what we need to be for everyone.
