What are people saying about us

Client testimonials

RMIT Online has partnered with Curio for many years to create a community of world-class online facilitators for our higher education degrees. This enduring partnership has enabled us to craft tailored solutions that harmonise with our strategic objectives, evolving them as needed through organisational change. The insights and guidance from the Curio team have been invaluable in advancing our standards of online teaching excellence. The team have proved unwavering dedication and commitment to client success, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations.
Nic Cola CEO, RMIT Online
The team at Curio developed two training modules on customer participation and our Customer Voice Group at LCHS for staff and Customer Voice Representatives. Curio did an amazing job of partnering with the Customer Voice Representatives, staff and myself, and the training developed was truly representative of what people wanted and needed from the training. It looks fabulous, flows beautifully and has received great feedback from people that have completed it. The team was great to work with – friendly, professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend Curio – in fact I already have done a couple of times!
Jasmine Griffiths Customer Voice & Experience Lead, Latrobe Community Health Service
Curio made the course design process very simple for us. The team were responsive in meeting our requirements and flexible with our project timeline when we needed the extra time to complete the consultation. I’d personally recommend Curio if you are looking to revamp your courses within Canvas.
Andrew Chan Learning and Development Manager, Surf Life Saving NSW
Curio’s approach was collaborative and flexible, always giving us the time and space to elaborate on our needs as the customer. Their way of working helps us to achieve out ambitious goals for the project.
Olly Trumble Head of LSE University of London Programmes - The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Curio has helped us reach our business goals as a partner in delivering our first digital education platform. The result is something we’re all really proud of and has been very well received by our audiences. The team were friendly and collaborative with clear timelines and processes I would definitely recommend Curio to other organisations. Their people bring experience and intelligence to projects that will elevate the outcomes achieved. With Curio your project is in great hands!
Clare Lombardi Director of Marketing, Communications & Fundraising, Kids First Australia
Our team came to Curio for advice in the development of a resource to support practitioners in the disability sector, which included incorporating into a single platform educational resources together with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide feed-back to practitioners on their work. We were very impressed with the knowledge, skills and capabilities Curio brought to the project, and how they moved from being consultants to an integral part of our national project team.
