Overview
Magical Learning Pty Ltd is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). As a RTO we provide nationally-recognised qualifications from Certificate III through to Advanced Diploma levels. We specialise in developing and delivering learning programs for government at Federal and State/Territory levels.
We are passionate about partnering with our clients to provide them with up-to-date qualifications. We achieve this through:
- offering financial assistance/support for self-funding learners
- customising our accredited qualifications to your jurisdiction
- being flexible in the way we structure our qualifications
- offering ‘family friendly’ hours for face-to-face programs
- offering face-to-face, distance/flexible and eLearning delivery options, so our students have maximum choice in when and how they study
- tailoring in-house programs by including client-specific resources and guest speakers
- helping students to understand how they learn best so they become effective learners from day one
- providing coaching and mentoring services to our students.
We have been developing course materials for ourselves and other organisations (including CIT Solutions and CPA Australia) for the past 11 years. We develop all of our own materials, which enables us to easily tailor our materials to meet your specific needs.
When you enrol in any of our accredited programs you will receive materials that relate to your jurisdiction. For example, if you work in the Australian Government, your program workshops and course materials refer to relevant Australian Government examples, legislation, guidelines and better practice guides.
We use the same approach for students from State and Territory governments – workshops and course materials are tailored to your specific jurisdiction.
In addition to our public programs, we can develop a customised qualification for your organisation – so the qualification is tailored to your organisation using relevant resources - and deliver that program in-house.
How Do Accredited Programs Work?
Our nationally-accredited qualifications are structured to include a combination of Required (mandatory) and Specialist (elective) units.
For example, a student undertaking a Diploma of Government (Management) must complete eleven units, comprising seven Required Units and four Elective units.
| Diploma of Government (Management) | |
|---|---|
| Required Units (all must be completed) | |
| PSPETHC501B | Promote the Values and Ethos of Public Service |
| PSPGOV502B | Develop Client Services |
| PSPGOV505A | Promote Diversity |
| PSPGOV512A | Use Complex Workplace Communication Strategies |
| PSPLEGN501B | Promote Compliance with Legislation in the Public Sector |
| PSPOHS501A | Monitor and Maintain Workplace Safety /td> |
| PSPOHS501A | Monitor and Maintain Workplace Safety /td> |
| PSPGOV519A | Manage Performance /td> |
| Elective Units (choose 4 electives from the units listed below) | |
| PSPGOV503B | Coordinate Resource Allocation and Usage /td> |
| PSPGOV504B | Undertake Research and Analysis /td> |
| PSPGOV506A | Support Workplace Coaching and Mentoring /td> |
| PSPGOV507A | Undertake Negotiations /td> |
| PSPGOV508A | Manage Conflict /td> |
| PSPGOV511A | Provide Leadership /td> |
| PSPGOV513A | Refine Complex Workplace Documents /td> |
| PSPGOV514A | Facilitate Change /td> |
| PSPGOV515A | Develop and Use Political Nous /td> |
| PSPGOV516A | Develop and Use Emotional Intelligence /td> |
| PSPGOV517A | Coordinate Risk Management /td> |
| BSBFLM501B | Manage Personal Work Priorities and Professional Development /td> |
| BSBFLM503B | Manage Effective Workplace Relationships/td> |
Once you have completed a qualification, you can undertake any other qualification at that level and typically only need to complete the Specialist Units. For example, if you complete the Diploma of Government (Management) as above and then decide to undertake the Diploma of Government (Contract Management), you will only need to complete the specialist units for that second Diploma.
This means that obtaining more than one qualification is easier, faster and cheaper.
You can also undertake individual units (rather than a whole qualification). If you do this you will obtain a Statement of Attainment for each unit after you complete the required assessment items. That Statement can be used to obtain ‘credit’ for that unit if you later decided to study the full qualification – so you don’t normally need to complete that unit again.
Financial Assistance/ Support
As passionate lifelong learners we like to support our learners in many ways including offering financial assistance/support. We offer a range of discount and deferred payment options to help defray the your study costs, including:
- Magical Learning Club Member Discounts
- Group Enrolments
- Study Grants
- User Choice Funding
- Payment Plans.
Magical Learning Club Discounts

Group Enrolments
We offer generous discounts for two or more students from the same organisation enrolling in any of our accredited programs at the same time.
To receive more information about our group discounts, email us at learn@magicallearning.com or call us on 02 6260 8220.
Study Grants
Another way that we encourage our students to become lifelong learners is to provide study grants for students who return to us to do further qualifications.
Once you have completed a qualification through Magical Learning, we offer a study grant that can be used to reduce your fees for any subsequent accredited program you undertake with us.
For government agencies sponsoring their staff through an accredited program, study grants can be assigned to the participant on completion, or placed in a pool to be used by the agency for any staff member undertaking an accredited program with us in the future.
This is just one of the ways we are working with agencies to find more cost-effective learning and development opportunities for their staff.
To find out more about our study grants, email us at learn@magicallearning.com or call us on 02 6260 8220.
User Choice Funding
We are registered provider of User Choice funding in the ACT. User choice is a funding framework that allows employers - together with the apprentices and trainees they employ - to select an RTO to provide quality accredited training that meets their specific needs.
Total accredited program costs are subsidised by Government, reducing the cost to both the employer and the student.
User Choice works in conjunction with the Apprenticeship and Traineeship System, whereby apprentices and trainees enter into legally binding Training Contracts with their employers. The apprentice/trainee and employer negotiate with a RTO of their choice to deliver structured training to achieve a nationally recognised qualification.
To find out more about user choice funding options, email us at learn@magicallearning.com or call us on 02 6260 8220.
Payment Plans
If you are interested in undertaking an accredited program but have to fund it yourself (eg. your employer agrees to reimburse you on completion), we offer a range of flexible payment plans to suit most circumstances.
To find out more about our payment plans, email us at learn@magicallearning.com or call us on 02 6260 8220.
Learning Options
Face-to-Face
All of our accredited programs are offered via face-to-delivery. Things we believe you’ll love about our face-to-face classes include:
- our classes run from 9.15am-3.15pm (to help you balance work/ family commitments)
- we keep class numbers small to ensure you get more personalised learning and support
- we use accelerated learning techniques that help you learn more effectively
- we use the latest resources so your learnings are up-to-date
- our classes are relaxed and fun (the more relaxed you are the better you learn).
If you want a more personalised learning experience, come and join us in one of our face-to-face sessions.
Distance/ Flexible
We understand that not everyone has the time or the ability to attend face-to-face classes. As part of our family-friendly initiatives we offer all of our accredited qualifications via distance/ flexible learning.
You can enrol in individual units or an entire qualification at any time.
You receive your course materials either by mail or email (depending on your choice) and are then free to work on the materials at your own pace.
We provide full-time support for our distance/flexible students via telephone, email and mail.
eLearning
We understand that not everyone can attend face-to-face learning. As part of our family-friendly initiatives we offer our all of accredited qualifications via eLearning.
You can enrol in individual units or an entire qualification via eLearning at any time.
We support our eLearning students via online help and emails. If you want to speak to a real person, we are available via telephone as well.
Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL)/ Recognition of Current Competency (RCC)
We understand that your time is valuable and that you may have work, previous study and life experiences that cover part of what you would learn in an accredited program. Rather than having to re-learn what you already know, you can apply for recognition for those existing skills/ qualifications.
Students can apply for Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL)/ Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) before commencing any of our courses. These services recognise the skills and knowledge that you have gained through work, previous study and life experiences that may be relevant to the qualification you wish to undertake.
If your application for recognition is successful it could reduce the study time required for completion.
To find out more about RPL/RCC options, email us at learn@magicallearning.com or call us on 02 6260 8220.
