Do I need to enrol in person on campus for an online program?

No! We want to make getting certified online as easy and accessible as possible for everybody. As part of that commitment to flexible and remote study, there’s no need to visit the campus when applying to enrol for our online courses. Simply use our online enrolment application form, or give us a call on 1300 783 283 if you’re in Australia, or +61 2 9386 2500 if you’re calling from overseas.

Are the classes live or self-paced?

The beauty of studying online is that you can make choices to maximise your learning potential. For some people, that means early mornings to free up the rest of the day. Other people are night owls. Some students love to take regular breaks, while some prefer to knuckle down and smash through course material all in one super-focused spurt. Our online courses are self-paced, so you can go at a speed that works best for you. Stop and take notes, speed through lectures to review, or break up your study into smaller, digestible chunks. The choice is yours!

Are scholarships available?

At this time, we don’t offer any scholarships for our online courses in Australia. However, we do offer payment plans that break your course fees down into manageable instalments. Looking to upskill in your current field? Your employer may be interested in paying for your course through our competitively priced corporate and group study rates.

What payment options are available?

Students have the option to pay for their course upfront or break down payments into smaller instalments throughout their study period. We accept payment from major debit and credit cards, as well as bank transfers.

Is it possible to pay for course fees in instalments?

While some students choose to pay for their online course in Australia upfront, we understand not everyone is in a position to do so. The good news is, we offer the option to pay for your course in instalments, managing your preferred payment amount and frequency on a schedule that suits you. If you’re continuing to work while you study with us, you can take a little out of your regular salary on a weekly or fortnightly basis to pay for your course incrementally.

Our payment plans are 100% interest-free, with no hidden fees or charges. You can start your course on time and graduate debt-free, all on a customised payment plan that suits your life and budget.

Can someone else pay for my courses on my behalf?

Yes, they can. We offer options for family members or others to pay your course fees on your behalf. Think an online course in Australia could make you a more valuable employee at your job? We also have competitive corporate and group rates available for workplaces that wish to sponsor their employees to upskill in relevant industries.

Will I need to purchase physical materials?

No, your course materials will all be delivered digitally, as part of your complete online course in Australia. Hardcopies of your course materials can be provided. For pricing, please call us on 1300 783 283 during business hours.

Will these courses count as academic credits?

All courses offered at Australian College allow you to graduate with nationally recognised qualifications. These include Certificate II, III and IV certifications and diplomas. Not only do these certifications make you stand out to potential employers and job recruitment agencies, but they can also be counted as academic credits towards further tertiary education, for example, if you want to go on to obtain an advanced degree later in life.
