Study Options:

The idea of being able to fast track your studies or take them at your own pace with no assignment deadlines is something that is an exciting experience when you choose to study online.

We quite often get asked “What is online learning and how will I access my course materials?

Below is the answer to this question and others frequently asked about how you can study online and receive excellent results from your studies!

All of the study materials are available through an online student campus. Quite simply this is a portal where all your materials are uploaded for you to view.
From this portal you have a chat forum where you can communicate with your tutor and other students whilst you are studying.
As the course materials are only a log in a way, they are available to be accessed anytime and anywhere.
To make it easier for study sessions, most courses have materials that are also downloadable or printable.
All course assignments and classwork is submitted online through uploading to your online classroom so there is no need for posting or hand writing work and the submission status is easily viewed to keep you up to date with the marking of your assessments and how well you are doing in your course.

Usually submitting your assignments online also makes for a faster turnaround meaning that you are able to complete your studies sooner. 

Payment options:

Here at Courses Direct, flexibility is a very important objective that we like you to have in your studies so that it is an easy adjustment into your studying when you enrol. We also think flexibility in our payment options is a fantastic way for you to be able to start studying immediately. So we have a number of methods that you are able to choose from below:

Payment plans

All of our courses are offered on a payment plan from $50.00 per week and you choose the mode of payment to suit your lifestyle.

Upfront payments –

We think it’s great to be able to offer a discount to you if you would like to make a one-off payment for your course, so we have discounted most of our courses by up to 30% if you choose the upfront payment option.

We are also adjustable with your payment mode, so if you would like to pay off your course sooner…you are able to do so!

Not sure which option works best for you and your course? Contact our course advisors on 1800 663 989 and they can discuss the plan that would work best for you.
