How Online Courses Work at Careerline Courses

Many people ask us how do online courses work. There are several ways an online course can function and most of these are variations on the more traditional correspondence and/or distance learning style.  Some online courses are emailed to you lesson by lesson. Other providers, like us, host their courses online.

Careerline Courses makes online study simple, supportive, and flexible — ideal for those balancing study with work or other commitments. Whether you’re upskilling, changing careers, or pursuing a passion, we’re here to help you succeed.
