Training Provider of the Year

Winner: Charles Darwin University

Charles Darwin University (CDU) is the largest vocational education and training (VET) provider in the NT. In 2018 CDU supported 8,785 students undertaking study in 180 courses across 123 locations locally, interstate and internationally.

CDU prides itself on the quality of its students, delivery and educators. CDU students are regularly recognised locally and nationally for their education achievements. CDU student quality is recognised by industry, with 87% of graduates employed four months after graduating.

CDU educators are respected by their students and peers, and also are recognised locally and nationally for their achievements. CDU professional development is highly regarded and has resulted in CDU leading the NT VET workforce development program, improving VET educator quality across participating NT registered training organisations (RTOs).

CDU is a national leader in remote Aboriginal VET education, providing quality education to all Territorians. This success was demonstrated through the nationally recognised report, ‘Ready for Work’, which sets the benchmark for RTOs in improving engagement, design and delivery of training in remote Australia.
