TESTIMONIALS

‘I would not hesitate to recommend this college to any person looking at gaining further education. This college has met all of my expectations.‘

James Heath

‘To all potential students wanting to realise your optimum potential under the tutelage of an awesome education provider, without exception, I recommend ACE Community College.’

Jocelyn Nikora

‘I completed a course at ACE Community College in Certificate III in Business and enjoyed it immensely. As I didn’t finish Year 12 and it has been 13 years since I had studied, I was nervous and unsure I had the confidence or faith in myself to finish a certificate in something, but all the staff at ACE College, my teacher Joshua Slatter have all been thoughtful, kind and understand throughout. ACE tailors to every individuals needs which is more than reassuring … if you are thinking of doing a course and fear of failing is holding you back, you won’t regret this. It is an amazing opportunity to have a qualification at the end of it all.

That’s something to be proud of.’

‘What a breath of fresh air ACE Community College has been, after 20 years in the tourism industry both training and managing within organisations globally I have found an oasis of learning.

TRAINING FOR WORK

Personal skills. In the online environment, and particularly as a distance education student, it’s beneficial to be an active learner who takes responsibility for their own learning, motivation and self discipline.

Literacy skills. Studying online is dependent on strong reading and writing skills. Much subject content will be delivered by readings, and a lot of your communication will be in written form. If you know these are not your areas of strength, seek some support and try and develop these skills.

Study skills. Studying online requires many of the same skills as traditional face-to-face study. Things like time management, motivation, being clear of expectations and exam preparation still remain important aspects of study.

General computer skills. You will need at least a basic level of proficiency in computer use to successfully study online. Necessary -skills include word processing, file management, saving and printing.

Internet skills. Being able to go to specific URLs, book-marking, saving and printing web pages will all be important skills. More advanced skills such as web searching and website evaluation would also benefit most students.
