An online course is an educational programme conducted over the internet. Unlike face-to-face learning, online courses allow students to access learning materials, lectures, and assignments from anywhere with an internet connection.
Online courses are offered by leading educational institutions such as TAFE, colleges, and private institutions. They may involve various learning materials such as video lectures, interactive quizzes, discussion forums, and more.
Although course content is delivered online, students are not entirely alone on the journey. They are still able to access a dedicated education support team for any questions, concerns, or help, and may reach out to instructors and educators when required.
There are many benefits of the online learning experience that make it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to study. These include:
Many of our online courses can be completed at your own pace (except for course expiry date). This means that you can take your time to absorb the course materials and advance to the next component when you’re ready.
Unlike face-to-face learning, many online courses have flexible enrolment dates. This means you can start as soon as you’re ready! Once you’ve enrolled in an online course, you’ll receive access to the online study platform and can start your course immediately.
Online courses allow you to access a range of different courses from training providers all across Australia. This means that you can enrol in various courses that interest you, no matter where you live.
Online courses allow you to fit study into your schedule. This means you can receive a nationally recognised qualification without having to take time off work or put your children in child-care. You can study when it suits you - whether that’s at night, in the mornings, or on the weekend.
Because most online courses can be completed at your own pace, in your own time, assignments don’t have due dates. This means you can take your time to understand the course materials and complete your assignments without rushing to hand them in by the due date. You just have to make sure to finish the course before its expiry (for example, within 12 months or 24 months)
When you study online, you can access your course materials from anywhere with an internet connection. This provides so much flexibility with where you study. You can watch lectures in the park, take quizzes while lying on the couch, or head to your local library to do some reading.
When you study online, you receive the same qualification as those who are studying the same course in person. You just get to complete the course with the flexibility to study at your own time and in a place of your choosing!
Once you've found an online course you love, you can choose to receive a course pack for more information or to enrol immediately. You'll receive access to an online learning portal where you can view lectures, assignments, learning materials, and discussion boards. You can then go through these online resources at your own pace. If you have lots of time to dedicate, you can finish them quickly, or take as long as needed before course expiry.
Some courses involve external exams or practical components, such as work placements. In this case, you may need to travel to a campus or other location to complete those requirements. Online courses usually include a dedicated student support team to guide you through the online learning process.
Many people worry that they’ll feel isolated when studying online, however that’s not the case! Many online courses are designed to encourage interaction and communication with other students in the course. Depending on the course, you may participate in online discussion forums or collaborate on group assignments, just like on campus students.
Some of the courses we offer also involve a practical face-to-face component, so you may have the opportunity to meet your fellow online students or instructors in person.
Our course catalogue makes it simple for you to browse through numerous Australian online courses offered by leading educators such as Foundation Education, Open Colleges, the Institute of Makeup Artistry, LET Training, and the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers.
Instead of having to browse courses through individual institution’s websites, you can find different online courses on this page and easily choose one that interests you.
