Simple strategies that make a real difference in your online education experience
Find a quiet corner where you won't be interrupted. Even a kitchen table works if it's consistently yours during study time. Good lighting and a comfortable chair make longer sessions bearable.
Takes 10 minutes to organiseDon't try to absorb everything in one go. Pause when something doesn't make sense, rewind when needed, and take notes on your phone or paper. This isn't a race.
Use it liberallyBlock time in your calendar for learning sessions. Treat it like a dentist appointment - something you wouldn't casually skip. Tuesday evenings or early Saturday mornings often work well.
Start with 30 minutes twice weeklyJoin discussion forums or study groups if available. Other students often explain concepts in ways that click better than textbook definitions. Plus, you realise you're not the only one confused about compound interest.
Check course forums weeklyUse your actual bank statements and expenses in exercises. Abstract examples are fine, but working with your real budget of ,200 monthly income makes everything more relevant.
Gather bank statements firstDon't wait until you're completely lost. Email instructors when you first start feeling confused. Most of us prefer helping with small clarifications rather than major catch-up sessions.
Send questions within 48 hoursOur remote programs adapt to real schedules. Whether you're juggling work shifts, family commitments, or studying between university classes, we've designed flexible pathways that work.
We've moved beyond boring PDFs and endless video lectures. Our courses include budget calculators you can save and update, interactive scenarios based on real Australian financial situations, and step-by-step worksheets that build on each other.
Everything is designed to work on your phone, tablet, or computer. No special software required, no complicated downloads.
"I was skeptical about online learning for something as personal as financial planning. But the instructors made it feel like having a knowledgeable friend guide you through everything. The flexibility meant I could study after my kids went to bed."
Our next comprehensive financial literacy program starts in August 2025. Early enrollment opens in June for those wanting to secure their spot and access preparatory materials.
