FAQs.

  1. How long will it take to process my enrolment? Most enrolments are completed within 48 hours. This means as soon as you receive you email with your log in details you are able to log on and commence your studies. For nationally accredited courses it can be 48-72 hours.
  2. How do I enrol? You have a couple of options to enrol. Firstly you are able to speak with one of our course advisors to make sure it is the appropriate course for you and they can assist you in processing your enrolment OR you are able to enrol online directly off the website. Simply click on the “Enrol Now” button and follow the prompts.
  3. Can I enrol in more than one course? You are able to enrol in more than one course at a time. We recommend however that you don’t take on more than two at a time so you give yourself enough flexibility to complete those courses and can then further continue your studies if you would like to.

It depends on the level of the course you are looking to study and what the University requirements are for the degree you wish to undertake as each university assesses student applications differently.
