Choosing a education provider isn’t always easy. We get that! 

With ACS you have:

1. Private education which has met Standards for Excellence as set out by the International
Approval and Registration Centre.

2. Your choice of location and learning atmosphere. You might not have the time or money to travel to a buzzing metropolitan centre to attend class. Happy learning at home when it suits you? Now you can. May like to consider accessing an environment which supports your study. Studying ecotherapy for example, accessing outdoor spaces might become a valuable part of your success.

3. An online and flexible delivery mode, with friendly and expert tutor support available by
email or on the phone.

4. Graduate satisfaction and outcomes. It’s good to know we’ve been educating people for
over 40 years. We’ve celebrated thousands of student successes over that time and warmly
invite you join the others.

5. Student services which are second to none. Different online schools provide a range of
different services and facilities. ACS puts the student experience very high on our list
priorities. Enjoy feeling valuable. You are not a student number!

6. Special expertise. ACS Distance has employed hundreds of subject specialists over the years
to bring our students the best possible learning resources and courses. Our staff are
sometimes located overseas which adds to the uniqueness of our course curriculum and
content.

7. Cost. Who hasn’t been wondering about this one?! Okay, let’s be honest, you do need to
fund your own course of study. ACS students are not usually eligible for government fee help
or student loan schemes, however we have kept our course fees as low as possible. We
recognise that cost can be a limiting factor, so we have made it possible for you to pay for
your course in parts. You will not enter a weekly or fortnightly payment scheme or contract
with a credit agency when enrolling with our school. 

8. Entry flexibility. Yes! We offer that too. We have daily intakes. Enrolments are not entirely
automated. We look after each enrolment for everyone. That makes us very busy, but now
you know you will not be paying a website and receiving an account. We have a fully staffed
and operational student services department who process your payments and activate your
student files. You will receive access to your course as soon as your enrolment is finalised.
We work hard to ensure new enrolments have same day access (Monday – Friday).

ACS is more than an online business. We are leaders on online education. We urge you to talk with us if you’d like to find out more!
