What is e-learning (Distance Education) and its advantages?
E-learning is an educational system that uses technology: print, audio, video and computers, to reach learners in dispersed locations. However, it is learner-centred in philosophy.
That means that rather than simply bringing students piles of packaged information, we engage you in an active educational experience that enhances your professional and personal capacities.
This type of programme can provide adults with a chance at tertiary education and reach those disadvantaged by limited time, distance, opportunity or physical disability.
Many distance education students have jobs, and/or families. They must therefore manage their time very carefully by co-ordinating the different areas of their lives which influence each other - their families, jobs, spare time, and studies.
Frequently Asked Questions?
Who should take e-learning courses and how does it work?
If you like the idea of being in control of your own learning and have a real interest in the subjects you have selected, then yes. If you just see it as a way of getting out of going to regular face-to-face classes, then no.

When do the courses begin and end?
One of the advantages of our courses is that it is quite flexible. Whilst courses are structured to start and end on specific dates, there are usually more than 1 course starting date in every year.
Where can you study from?
Provided you have easy access to a computer and the
internet it is truly possible to study any of our courses
from anywhere in the world. The only possible restrictions
could be that , because of your relative geographical
isolation you may not be able to attend the practicums, work
shops and Field Trips which form part of certain courses.

Do I have to produce Assignments, Projects and Essays?
Almost all longer courses require students to submit some or all of these. You can find out which subjects require these by going to Courses.
Do I have to do all the assignments?
In keeping with our stated goal of producing only excellent professionals, and in order to comply with our official accreditation requirements, students are indeed expected to submit all assignments or essays set by the tutor for that course. Completing assignments and receiving comments and grades from your tutor will help you feel that you are on the right track and are making good progress.
Where do I get information from to be able to do the assignments?
Normally the course material and lessons are comprehensive enough that you can adequately complete your assignments by using the lessons themselves. The professional courses sometimes require a text book. If a tutor feels you should also consult specific web sites a list of those will be included in the lesson. We have been given permission by the International Public Library (http://www.ipl.org) so that our students may freely use all information in their library.
Is there an upper
age limit for students?
No. We welcome all students above the
age of 16. If there's a subject you've
always wanted to study, now's the time to do
it.
