Was easy to study with Australian Online Courses. Could do the work when it suited me. Appreciated the feedback that I was able to get from Tutors. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was whether I had a limited time to complete the course and when that date was. My work commitments made it hard to find time to complete the course so this was important to me.
