Online
Online learning provides flexibility and convenience, which is great for anyone constrained by time or distance. You can complete your qualification when it suits you and at your own pace.
And studying online doesn’t equate to studying alone. You’ll have access to unit introduction videos, regular webinars and our unique virtual campus. This state-of-the-art online learning management system offers a ‘community’ approach to self-directed study where you can share experiences, ideas and questions through integrated features such as chat forums, live chat, and links with social media platforms.
Blended Learning
If it suits you better you can take a blended learning approach, mixing face-to-face and online options to suit your situation at any given time. There are no restrictions on which study option is chosen and you can switch between them as needs dictate.
Note: availability of the blended learning approach is dependent on the unit and location
