The Academy of Learning differs
from most community based
colleges in many ways:
-
Smaller
class
sizes:
this
means
more
one-on-one
time
with
your
facilitator
-
Competency-based
learning:
each and
every
lesson
tests
you on
your
understanding
of the
topic
-
Self-paced
learning:
there is
no need
to work
at the
pace of
the
'class'.
Go as
fast as
you can
learn,
or slow
down and
spend
more
time on
challenging
topics
-
Start
immediately:
begin
your
training
today!
With no
semesters,
we have
continuous
intake
to start
you
every
day!
NO
COMPUTER OR SPECIAL SKILLS
NEEDED
Whatever
skills one has when he or she
enrolls, we can start the
student at the right level and
provide the student with the
learning tools that are needed.
WHY SELF-PACED LEARNING?
Here at
the
Academy
of
Learning,
students
can
graduate
in 40 to
50 weeks
with
Diplomas
that are
equivalent
to
two-year
Community
College
Diplomas.
But how
is this
possible?
The
easiest
way to
explain
this is
to
understand
that
Private
Career
Colleges
do not
operate
with
'semesters'.
The
Academy
Of
Learning
is open
to
receiving
students
five
days per
week, 50
weeks
per
year.
The
average
student
spends
20-30
hours
per week
in class
-
approximately
four-six
hours
per day,
five
days per
week.
With
classes
operating
50 weeks
of the
year and
students
attending
20 hours
per
week,
the same
1000
hours
would
take a
Community
College
four
standard
'semesters'
- or two
years to
complete!
With our
flexible
schedule,
you can
work
part-time
while
going to
school
full
time!
In other
words,
you can
complete
a
standard
2 year
Diploma
Program
and be
into the
workforce
in
less
than a
year!
"I
would highly recommend the
Academy of Learning Programs to
anyone looking to upgrade your
present skills, learn new
skills, and make yourself
marketable in a very competitive
job market. "
"Prior
to attending the Academy of
Learning I had not been a part
of any financial department, but
after taking QuickBooks and
Simply Accounting, which were
both easy to understand and
excellent tools to use, I
secured a job as a Financial
Administrative Assistant. I
handled payroll, month end reconciliation,
and quarterly financial
reporting to name a few. This
was all foreign territory prior
to this this course but I found
it easy to slip into with the
knowledge I had acquired".
