Online Courses Australia 2018

This website is designed to help students who are considering studying within the Australian Education system. By sharing other students' stories, we hope to assist you in deciding if studying in Australia is right for you. The Australian Education system is renowned as one of the top education systems in the world. Previously, it meant you had to travel into this country and study in either Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide or Brisbane to get yourself an Australian Qualification. With the advancement of technology, you can now get an Australian Qualification without leaving the comforts of your own home. In-fact the term online courses Australia is searched around the world over 20 thousand times by potential students every year. EDNA is one of the main players in the online training market along with open colleges. That search volume is huge when you think about it. The population of Australia is just over 26 Million and once upon a time, it was very easy to get an Australian citizenship, but these days, you must be able to speak English at a high level prior to being accepted. Which is why online courses in Australia are so appealing.

What are the entry requirements for online courses?

Online courses in Australia have the same entry requirements as if you were going to study within a campus the only difference is if you are an international student you do not need to get a visa in order to study. In fact, many students choose to go down this path as it helps them learn the English language and in some cases, it can even assist their application of a student visa to Australia - showing that they are a genuine student.

Is there a discount in enrolment fees for students that choose to study online courses?

The short answer is no. Most providers have the same student fees whether you are learning on campus or online. This is especially true when it comes to universities' online course fees. If you search around, you might be able to find Registered Training Organisations or TAFEs that charge less for online courses.

Are there free online courses for Australians?

Yes, there are some providers that offer free online courses in Australia but none of them are accredited or nationally recognised. Furthermore, there is usually a catch and some have even said their courses are free but then you find out later that you have a huge student loan. Many of the education providers were visiting people at their home and offering students a free laptop if they signed up to their 100% online courses which they advertised as 100% free. This was obviously not the case and people later found out they actually had a huge government debt and many of the education providers closed their doors and took the students' money. The lesson here is make sure you read the fine print of any enrolment form and when something sounds to good to be true it usually is.

Can I get a Student loan for online courses?

If you are an Australian Citizen, you may be eligible to apply for a student loan depending on your individual circumstances. The system is designed to pay your tuition fees and once you start earning over a certain figure in a year, you pay back your fees with a portion of your yearly salary.
