Online

We like to make things simple and using technology we are able to achieve this by using animation scenarios, videos, games and interactive learning to ensure that our students have the best experience possible. Whilst we believe that online is the way of the future, it still needs to be enhanced with some human interaction and that's why you will have access to your own personal educator.

Bespoke Training

Learning fits into 4 categories; visual, auditory, reading/writing or kinaesthetic. Whether you are a business looking to train your staff or an individual, we will try our best to assist you. Our educators are more than happy to assist with your needs and design a program whether online, face-to-face or something else, we will be able to meet your requirements.

Practical Components

Although you are provided with your learning resources and assessment tools online, you may be required to undertake practical tasks and observations within a workplace environment (or through simulated workplace environment). Should this be involved, please speak with Student Services to advise you of the assessment options.
