Online

Join a group of other students in a web-based learning environment over a 12-week term.

Individually you work through the learning plan, which includes online activities and discussions that create opportunities to interact with others.

Using tools such as virtual online classrooms and discussion boards, you can communicate in real time with the educator and other students. You are also given access to web pages and email to communicate at other times that suit you.

Some modules include a one-day skills workshop which is completed on campus prior to graduation.

The College's flexibility made study more accessible to me. Due to changes in my life, I recently undertook modules Online. I have been impressed with the amount of communication I have with my educator. I have also gained close friendships with other students, enabling me to share my experience and therefore I have not felt alone in my learning.
