Being able to self-pace and complete the modules fully online allowed me the flexibility to manage full time work with study. The course content was very relevant, with the modules tying in well together. The level of difficulty was just the perfect blend of challenging but achievable. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your courses self-paced?

icon

Yes, they are! With Open Colleges, you’re in charge. There are no exams, or set timetables, so you can learn at your own pace. This means that if you have the time, you can dedicate more hours a week to studying and finish your course earlier. Or you can choose to study without pressure over a longer period of time.

Are your courses free?

icon

Unlike a TAFE, which is government owned, Open Colleges is a privately owned RTO (Registered Training Organisation.) This means that we are an independent entity, and we don’t receive any government funding. For this reason, our courses are not free. If you have any questions about our pricing, please feel free to contact our friendly Enrolment Consultants.

When can I start the course?

icon

Anytime you like! The majority of our courses are ready for enrolment right now. There's no need to wait for a specific date or a new semester to start – just enrol, login, and start learning. If you enrol online today and complete your application, you can start studying the course today!

Please note: Courses offered by the Open Colleges School of Health, which are campus-based, do have specific intake dates. Be sure to check the course page for more information.
