You don’t have to be sat in a Melbourne or Hobart classroom to study with us at Central Australian College. We can deliver our programs digitally in a way that suits you and your schedule – wherever you are.

What is distance learning?

Distance learning is learning away from the classroom, delivered through online study materials and assessments. Distance learning is not a new concept. However, with the disruption caused by Covid-19, it is likely to become more common and effective.

How has distance learning changed since COVID-19?

Every educational institution affected by the pandemic has had to adapt, change and develop its online teaching practices in recent months. When Covid-19 struck, classes had to move online overnight, forcing training providers to develop new teaching strategies. This has ultimately produced a higher-quality experience for those studying remotely. Every day we discover more about how our students learn away from the classroom, and every day we improve.

What are the benefits of distance learning?

The main benefit of distance learning is its flexibility. Whether you’re in a full-time job, working anti-social hours or caring for your family, you can study when it suits you.

You can also complete the course in a timeframe determined by you. If you want to gain your qualification quickly, you can fast-track and work through all assessments in a few months. Or, if you have a limited amount of study time, you can spread the course over a couple of years. As long as you successfully complete all of the assessments, you will graduate.

Suppose something comes up that impacts your ability to study, no problem. Simply pause your course and pick it up again when you’re ready.

Distance learning also allows you to study in your own way. Attend lectures if you like or study on your own. You can even blast out music if that’s what works for you – there are no classmates to disturb! Create your own learning style and make your study experience enjoyable.

So how does distance learning work at CAC?

All of our business courses are available to domestic students for distance learning. Once you’re enrolled, we send you all of your learning materials via email. You can work through the resource material and complete the assessments in your own time and at your own pace. If you want to get involved in classroom learning, then you can attend lectures. And if you want some help from a trainer, then you can book a one-to-one session. We’re here for you every step of the way!

Do you need to live in Melbourne or Hobart to enrol in CAC courses?

No. Our courses are available to you, no matter where you live in Australia. All you need is an eagerness to learn, a computer and an internet connection. Contact us today to find out how we can help you get qualified!
