Study: The Right Option for Your Career

Studying a career-related course pays for itself in just five years on average, according to a July 2008 report by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER). The report shows that for every A$100 spent on vocational training courses, including fees and foregone income, the payback is A$20 per year for the student's working life. And in some areas the rate of return exceeds A$50.

The same study reported that part-time students actually benefited slightly more from study than full-time students. SEEK Learning has a large range of flexible, part-time courses to help you get your career moving quickly.

Flexible Study Options for Busy People

With part-time, career-focused study leading to great career results, you only need to decide what course is right for you and how you can fit study in with your busy life. Lucky for you, SEEK Learning helps make it easy.

With hundreds of courses available, SEEK Learning is the natural place to start this exciting new stage in your life. We understand that, for busy people, classroom-based study is simply not practical. That's why we've worked to secure a huge range of career-relevant distance education courses for you to choose from.

Distance education is a great way to achieve your career goals, whether you're looking to:

Start your career
Change careers
Build skill, security or earning power in your current career

Read on to see whether the advantages of distance education suit you, your study plans and your career goals.

Recognised Courses, Wherever You Live

One of the major advantages of distance education is that you can study anywhere. While classroom-based courses are often only found in major cities, online and correspondence courses are open to anyone - no matter where you live.

SEEK Learning has partnered with some of Australia's most respected educational institutions to bring a wide range of high-quality courses to your door.

Of course, you don't need to live in rural or regional Australia to take advantage of the benefits of top-quality courses delivered by distance education. Having the flexibility to study anywhere you want - and not spend precious time driving to and from classes - makes distance education an attractive option for busy people everywhere.

Support When You Need It

Despite being responsible for your own timetable, distance education does not mean that you are all alone.

Expert tutors and advisers are available by phone or email, answering any question you might have regarding course work, changes to enrolment, access to student services and study resources, and more.

And with SEEK Learning taking care of enrolment and offering follow-up assistance, you have all the support you need to ensure success.

Study that Suits Your Schedule

Taking study out of the classroom means that you're not tied to rigid timetables. With distance education, you can study when it best suits you.

Lunch breaks, weekends, evenings, mornings, Tuesdays...distance education allows you to set the timetable, and change it whenever you like.

SEEK Learning knows that for most busy people looking to advance their careers, distance education is the most convenient study option.

Classroom-based learning has the advantage of face-to-face interactions. It might also be the best option if you're the type of student who needs the structure of set class times to help motivate you. Many of our courses are available to people who prefer in-class courses.
