Looking For A Short Course?
logo-shortcourses
With a huge range of short courses from Australia's leading online providers, you will be sure to find a course that's perfect for you.

Distance education is one of the best ways to complete Australian full-time or part-time education. With technology continuously improving, online courses are becoming increasingly popular as the quality of education available grows with its availability. Depending on which course you enrol in, you can complete everything from short courses to specialisation courses, allowing you to complete the right course at your own pace. 

 

What are distance education programs?

Distance education is a way of completing further or higher education from afar. Usually, this is done almost entirely online, although occasionally some courses may require a physical copy of files to be mailed in, typically called correspondence courses.

 

What are the benefits of distance education courses?

There are a variety of benefits to completing distance education. First and foremost, if you live in NSW but want to achieve a qualification that’s only available at a TAFE in Melbourne, you may be able to complete that course online, meaning that you don’t have to move. Equally, if you live in rural Queensland and your nearest education institution is three hours away, you could complete courses, or even something like a bachelor of business, without travelling long distances.

Online learning is also a brilliant option for those who may find the learning environment stressful or who have had negative learning experiences in more traditional class settings. There’s still a vast range of student support services available for students studying via distance education, so it could be perfect for students who may not be suited to something like business school.

Distance education can also be a fantastic choice for those who have other duties at home. If you’re trying to provide full-time child care for your little ones, or need to keep working at least part-time, but want to complete that bachelor of arts you never got to finish, then distance education could be a perfect choice.

Finally, distance education is an excellent opportunity for international students to enjoy Australia’s world-class education without having to hop from city to city. However, international students should be sure to check with CRICOS to ensure that their preferred course is available via distance learning.

 

What courses are available via distance learning?

With the astounding leaps in technology that we’re seeing, more and more courses from a variety of institutions are becoming available through distance education. Courses are available in areas like:

  • Information technology
  • Early childhood education
  • Mental Health
  • Business administration
  • Social science
  • Hairdressing and beauty services
  • Community services

With all of the available options, you can complete the right course for you at the right institution. Everything from a short course to a graduate certificate can be completed via distance learning, at every institution from the school of health to Melbourne university.

So if you’re keen to complete a qualification today via distance learning, get started by browsing our list of available courses above!
