Enrolling in an online course can give you the skills to pursue your personal and professional dreams.

The world of job training and education has changed remarkably in the past decade, but one thing hasn’t.

Employers demand professional, skilled people to fill a vast range of roles. Training is still the key to success – and that’s where relevant online courses come to the fore. We love helping people upgrade their skills and fulfil their career aspirations, and we know employers share our enthusiasm for the quality of our graduates. Here are five reasons why our online courses are meeting the needs of students (and employers) in the modern business world.

1. They’re really flexible …
Life is frenetic and many self-motivated individuals want to learn new skills and advance their careers without compromising their commitments to work, family … you name it. Online courses let you fast-track your knowledge (and career) from the comfort of your home, or wherever there is internet. Study at your own pace.

2. Job-ready skills
AOC courses have been developed in consultation with industry representatives and are recognised by a range of employers, including government departments. So you can get industry-relevant training that will help you quickly access the knowledge and skills you’ll need on the job.

3. Convenience … and help when you need it
Forget about battling traffic, finding a park or having to leave work early for classes – our online lectures and materials are sent electronically to you. Enrol online, get started immediately, complete the assignments and send them back when you are ready. You can plan your study time around your life and work. Course material is always accessible online and free extensions are available if you need more time. And, if you get stuck on part of the course or have a problem, tutors are available seven days a week to help out.

4. The choice is yours
With more than 900 courses covering everything from accounting, management and IT through to marketing, cooking, hospitality and tourism and more, you’ll always be able to find a course that matches your needs. We also offer subjects that some traditional colleges do not cover (such as psychology and social media marketing, for example).

5. Value for money
Campus-based university courses often cost tens of thousands of dollars, whereas you can sign up today for an online course for a fraction of the price.

6. It’s a life-changer
Graduates get a certificate of completion at the relevant level (Certificate, Advanced Certificate) when they finish an AOC course.
