Compare current delivery, dates, prerequisites and practical components at programme level.
Compare delivery patterns
Programme areas include upgrading, business, health, human services, resource technology, university studies and trades. Delivery can be synchronous live online, asynchronous anytime online, blended or location-based. The delivery label determines planning needs more reliably than the broad subject category.
Review two programme examples
The 2026–27 Child and Youth Care Diploma is 72 weeks online through Bongo and Brightspace, with synchronous and asynchronous study plus three field placements totalling 750 hours. Synchronous Child and Youth courses require attendance, and students must be at least 18 at practicum time.
Confirm location and practicum requirements
Survey Theory and Calculations is a 20-week Anytime, Anywhere programme. Entry requires current survey-field employment, at least six months of verified prior survey experience, or successful Introduction to Surveying. Its employment practicum is labelled optional, unlike the required placements in Child and Youth Care.
Decision checklist
- Compare scheduled, unscheduled, blended and in-person requirements.
- Check programme-year dates and prerequisites.
- Distinguish required placements from optional practical courses.
