Learner Comments• Accessibility after hours, flexibility, repetition
when I need it.• I work full time on a rotating shift so I can’t get to
classes on specific days at specific times. Doing an online course. It’s easy for me to work when I am free.
• I can work as I learn and learn as I work.• I can choose when I do modules and I can finish
them quicker than the allotted time.• It’s convenient as I have small children.
