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.

PBL - Problem Based Learning
What is Problem Based Learning?
The norm for most students is that they learn by listening to lectures and reading, and are assessed on their ability to recall and communicate what they have learned. With problem-based learning, students are assessed on their ability to go through a problem solving process.
Origins of PBL
PBL traces its beginnings to 1969 and is credited to McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences in Canada. The factors that prompted the medical educators to take up such a revolutionary step were many. They were disillusioned with many ills of traditional medical curriculum, particularly the highly lecture- based and strictly discipline-oriented approach in medical education. Today many universities and educational establishments apply PBL methodology to the teaching of their courses.
Why PBL?
Research shows that PBL gives the learner greater long-term benefits than traditional learning, and many successful and progressive universities around the world use it in their courses. Graduates of PBL courses advance faster and further in their careers.
Other Benefits of PBL
- Develops critical and creative thinking
- Creates effective problem-solver
- Increases motivation
- Encourages lateral thinking
- Improves communication and networking skills
- Is based on real-life situations
What is Involved?
Every PBL project is carefully designed by experts to expose you to the information and skills that we want you to learn. When assigned a project, you are given:
- A statement of the problem (e.g. diseased animal; failing business; anorexia case study)
- Questions to consider when solving the problem
- A framework for the time and effort you should spend on the project
- Support from the school
The problems that you will solve in your course will relate to what you are learning. They are problems that you might encounter when working in that field, adapted to your level of study.
Writing PBL Projects
The academy has prepared detailed guidelines for reporting on PBL projects. Read these before you begin work on a PBL project, and don't begin until you fully understand the procedure.
