Many of APM’s nationally accredited courses are available for flexible online study – so there’s no need to come into a classroom if your location or situation doesn’t allow. Much more than just an online chat room, our online classes are delivered via a dedicated learning portal, giving you full access to your lecturers, class resources and the support you need to get through your course.
Study anywhere at anytime with APM's Flexible Online Learning
Each online subject has a dedicated lecturer, who guides the students’ learning experience.
The latest technologies and developments are used by APM to enhance the online learning experience, with a learning platform that allows you to keep connected with the College as well as work both collaboratively and individually.
With no set class timetable you can study when and where you want, tailoring your education to suit your lifestyle, family and any paid work commitments.
Australian students can choose between a full-time or part-time course load depending on your availability and personal situation. International students studying in Australia can study a portion of their subjects online.
When you study your business course online, it won’t mean that you will miss out on social and networking opportunities. You will be studying with like-minded classmates and dedicated lecturers throughout the course, as opposed to by distance or by correspondence where it is harder to establish relationships.
As you progress through your course, you will receive responsive, one-on-one support from your lecturers and any help you might need to develop your study skills. Online class sizes are kept small to allow for individual attention. A dedicated online tutor will also mentor you through your course. You will be encouraged to interact as much as possible – and yes, your lecturers and classmates will even know your name!
If you like the idea of experiencing campus life at our Sydney or Brisbane campus, and working to a realistic study schedule that fits comfortably with your current job or family commitments, most subjects can be studied through a blend of online classes with face-to-face class time. By choosing to do some of your subjects online, you can take the pressure off having to attend class all of the time. APM’s Course and Careers Advisers can help you choose the best mix of online and on-campus subjects to complete your qualification.
Online study is never dull with our excellent range of study materials presented as video, interactive media and PDFs. Group activities including forums, message boards, blogs, and wikis give you the chance to contribute to class discussions. You can monitor your own progress with self-review quizzes and receive immediate feedback. Lecturers mark assessments and grade assignments online and electronically. For assignments you will have access to APM’s electronic library collection that houses more than 70 million online articles.
Students studying an online Bachelor of Business degree have access to APM’s Industry Placement Program where you will have the chance to do a work placement in your chosen profession, get solid insights into modern work-force performance and expectations and make real-life connections in the workforce. Online diploma students can also take part in workplace opportunities such as volunteering at major festivals and events and doing work experience with APM’s industry partners.

Attending class online is as simple as logging into our web-based system called the Learning Portal. Here you get access to all teaching resources, lecturer information and academic support. Every online subject has a dedicated lecturer, who guides you and provides feedback on assessments. Lecturers facilitate discussions between classmates and mentors provide individual assistance when you need it.
