Learning Methods

There are two ways of studying to choose from:

Online - Online courses are conducted through our custom built course delivery system. Unlike most colleges and universities, we do not use software purchased from a third party (which gives us greater flexibility and reliability than many other online schools). You access all course materials through our system, and also complete interactive Self Tests to enhance your understanding of ideas or identify potential weak areas in your knowledge. Assignment submission is through our online assignment submission system, which records and tracks your work each step of the way.
E-Learning -Similar to online courses, except all course materials are mailed to you on a USB instead of accessed on the internet. Assignment submission and also be through the online assignment submission system.

Note: not all courses are currently available in online and e-learning forms.
