Information About Learning Methods

Correspondence

This is the traditional method of completing courses at ACS. All course materials are posted to you. Assignment submissions can be posted or e-mailed to us. You can, of course, still e-mail or telephone us at any time for assistance regarding your course.

Online

Online courses are conducted through our online learning site, acseduonline.com. You can access all course materials through this website, and also complete interactive Self Tests to enhance your understanding of ideas or identify potential weak areas in your knowledge. Assignment submission is through the online assignment submission system.

E-Learning

Similar to online courses, except all course materials and interactive Self Tests are mailed to you on a CD instead of accessed on the internet. Assignment submission is through the online assignment submission system.

Note: not all courses are currently available in online and e-learning forms.

Discounts from e-learning courses are not displayed until you click the "enrol now" button.
