What's the difference between online learning and correspondence courses?

Online learning and correspondence are both ways of studying a course by distance education. With online learning, all course assessment tasks occur or are submitted online. Learn more about online study.

With correspondence courses, materials such as course reading and assessed coursework are delivered to you in the mail. You need to have a postal address that you can easily access while you study. Course work is submitted by mail.

Will I have to attend any classes at all?

Some providers require students to perform student placement, and you may need to attend on-campus workshops to attain industry accreditation. Contact a SEEK Learning consultant if you need more information.

What kind of support will I have?

To help you achieve your goals, expert teacher support is on hand. Details of support depend on the course you're studying, but you will always have telephone and email access to tutors.

How much time do I have to do the course?

Most of SEEK Learning's distance education courses offer a lot of flexibility around when you can start and how long you can take; it's one of the main advantages of this type of study. How long you take all depends on the amount of time you dedicate to your studies. For example, you can get a TAFE certificate or diploma in 6 months, a year or two years - it's all up to you.

Most courses have maximum time limits set on course completion. For example, TAFE Certificate courses need to be completed in two years and Diplomas within three years.
