Assessments are completed at the end of each unit and delivered in a variety of formats.
We focus on delivering theory-based learning through multiple-choice questions, written responses, interactive lessons, swipe-based activities, and online projects – all part of our dynamic learning experience.
You’ll also have access to local student support via phone, email, and online chat.
Self-Paced Learning
Self-paced learning means you can study on your own time and schedule. You don’t need to complete the same assignments or learn at the same pace as others.
You can move from one topic or unit to the next at a speed that suits you.
You have the freedom to choose which units you’d like to start with and switch between them as needed.
We give you full control over your learning experience.

Flexibility means you can work with our team to make the adjustments you need to successfully complete your course.
You can defer for free or pause your course if your personal circumstances change.
If you find that you’ve chosen the wrong course, it’s simple – you can switch to another that better suits your needs, or even gift your course to a friend, family member, or colleague. We’re here to support you with flexible options that work.
