Distance education courses in Australia

Lifestyle Learning Direct:
Based in Molendinar in Queensland, Lifestyle Learning Direct began life in Australia as The Writing School, which had originally begun in the UK and branched out into Australia, New Zealand and Singapore in 1984. Since this time, the reputation of our school has grown, due both to our large numbers of satisfied (and successful) students, plus our commitment to providing further specialist writing courses to satisfy student demand. Within the last decade, the owners of the school, utilising their experience in the field of distance learning, decided to offer a wider variety of courses. Today we offer a variety of Distance Learning programmes including editing and proof reading, interior design, fashion design, beauty therapy and garden design to improve your education. We are a fully accredited college.

Home-study is a flexible approach to learning. You are not tied down to fixed start dates and time limits. Once you enrol in your chosen course, we will send you the initial course materials and you can get started straight away. You complete a self-analysis form for us to allocate the most suitable tutor based on your aims and reasons for completing the course. Progressively, you will complete and submit your assignments to the school and we will forward them to your tutor. Once we receive tutor feedback, we will forward your marked assignment plus the next modules back to you, to allow you to continue your studies.

We offer a variety of one Year Distance Learning programmes including Business and Office practises; Information Technology; Photography; Psychology; Hospitality and Tourism; Medical and Science; Animal Health and Agriculture; Editing and Proof Reading; Interior Design; Fashion Design; Beauty Therapy; and Garden Design to improve your education.

How does onine training work?
With online training you have the advantage of being able to study anywhere that you have access to a computer and the internet. All of the lessons are available on the website for you to view as you need them, or you can save them to your computer and print them and take them with you where ever you go.

At the end of most lessons is an online quiz so that you can test your knowledge straight away. Many of the courses also have self-assessment activities throughout the lesson so you can track your progress.

Online courses have a 12 month time-limit in which to complete.

Who will be my tutor?
Even though you are studying at a time and place convenient for you, you still benefit from expert guidance and tuition. All our tutors have a wealth of industry experience and will provide valuable feedback on each assessment you submit.

Who writes the courses?
All of the courses available on the Lifestyle Learning Direct website have been written by industry experts and are updated regularly to ensure that the information is accurate and relevant.
