When can you start? Anytime you like!

There are no start and finish dates, no semesters, so no need to wait. Just enrol and start the path to your new life whenever you’re ready!

The learning is invaluable and I call on it everyday in my job. While OC was perfect for my situation, online 24/7 education comes with big challenges namely instant support with questions at the time you are studying. The biggest help is to form a Facebook chat with peers for a more immediate support group out of business hours. My connections through the Facebook group got me through the tough modules and I secured placement through a fellow member.
