How does studying online work?

Once you enrol, you’ll receive instant access to your online learning portal. Everything you need — lessons, resources, assessments, and feedback — is in one easy-to-use platform you can access 24/7. It’s flexible, interactive, and designed to fit your lifestyle.

When can I start?

Anytime! There are no fixed start dates. As soon as your enrolment is processed, you can begin learning right away.

How long will my course take?

Each course includes a recommended completion time (e.g., 40–60 hours), but you set the pace. Move faster or slower — it’s your learning, your schedule.

Can I study on my phone or tablet?

Yes! Our learning platform works seamlessly on any device — perfect for studying on the go.

What if I need help during my studies?

You’re never on your own. Our tutors and support team are always available by email or phone to answer questions, review your progress, or just keep you motivated.

Will I lose access after finishing my course?

You’ll continue to have access to your course for a generous period after completion, giving you time to revisit lessons and review materials.

If you’d like ongoing access for future reference, we also offer lifetime access options — perfect for those who want to keep their learning handy long-term.

We offer a 7-day cooling-off period from your enrolment date. If you withdraw during this time and haven’t completed significant content, you’ll receive a refund (minus a $50 admin fee).

After seven days, refunds aren’t usually available due to instant access to all materials — but we’ll always help you find a flexible solution, like pausing, transferring, or switching courses.
