CD
Receiving your course material on CD-ROM is our most popular method (this gives students portability - some even take their CD’s with them on holidays!). The course material may also be copied and saved to a USB stick, as well as downloading, printing and binding the lessons into a folder for you to organise. CD’s are also an excellent choice for people who have a computer but do not have internet access or have a slow connection.
Online
Online students require a reliable internet connection. Our Student Study Zone allows you to view all of your course material online, anywhere in the world. Students can watch videos, read notes and study illustrations on the computer screen then complete self assessment quizzes to gauge their learning.
Correspondence
Course material may be supplied in a printed format. Students work through notes, practical tasks and assignments. The student is guided by a printed study guide and accompanying materials as well as advice and feedback from tutors. Assignments are submitted to tutors for grading and feedback, and exams can be taken anywhere in the world.

Design your own Course
Can't find the certificate/diploma your looking for? Not all educational institutions certificates/diplomas meet everyone's needs. The opportunity to design your own certificate / diploma at ADL (subject to our approval) is an added bonus not found at other colleges. It's a very popular option and widely used by many students. You can choose any combination of subjects offered within the guidelines
ADL offers two ways to complete certificates and higher qualifications:
- Enrol in a standard course, individual module, certificate or diploma. The structure of these courses and programs is fully laid down, and students may only need to elect a major area of study. Standard courses are listed throughout the website and handbook.
- Design your own Certificate/Diploma. This gives students who have a very specific goal in mind the flexibility to put together a program that meets their needs. Details on designing are as follows:
- You may choose any combination of subjects offered within the guidelines and discipline of choice. You can start out with one module first, then add other modules as you progress. When enroling it is not necessary to decide up front what modules you wish to be committed to. We recommend students make a committment as to what modules they wish to further undertake, at the end of the completion of the first module - this will of course be subject to the academies approval.
Students who are unsure as to which modules to choose, should seek first the advice and guidance of either one of ADL's expert tutors or the advice of the Director of Vocational Training. If unsure as to what modules to choose, please contact the academy for further assistance or simply enrol with your first module choice in order to begin the process.

- Employers are usually impressed by qualifications that are up-to-date, unique and relevant to their industry.
- You avoid studying subjects which are irrelevant or less relevant to you.
- Obtain an education which is different to most people you are likely to encounter in your working life.
