ENGINEERING COURSES

We know that many potential students have part or full-time employment as well as family commitments, so finding the time to study a classroom-based programme is not always possible. Many students also have geographical, travel and time limitations and do not have an accessible institution or training provider. We have taken this into consideration and developed an affordable, flexible, online approach to training. This means that you can study from anywhere, with minimum downtime from work – but still have the necessary interactive learning experience. The software we use does not require very fast internet connection or a sophisticated computer. A basic connection and hardware are sufficient

An adequate Internet connection,speakers and a microphone. A headset is recommended. The necessary software and programme materials are provided by us.

Boredom can be a real risk in any form of learning; however, we use an interactive approach to our e-learning – with live sessions (instead of recordings) for most presentations. The webinar software allows everyone to interact and involves participants in group work; including hands-on exercises with simulation software and remote laboratories where possible. You can communicate with text messages, or live VoIP speech, or can even draw on the whiteboard during the sessions. This all helps to keep you motivated and interested.

These are live, interactive sessions over the Internet. You will join the lecturer and other participants from around the world in an online virtual classroom where you are able to watch a presentation and communicate with the lecturer and other students via audio, text messaging or drawing on the whiteboard. Each webinar is between 60 and 90 minutes in duration and there will be at least 1 session scheduled on each presentation day. This allows you to select the session which is most convenient.

Webinars are recorded and available to students upon request. One requirement of the programme is that you join at least 70% of the live sessions. The live webinars offer the opportunity to interact with the lecturer and other participants from around the globe – an essential yet enjoyable part of the learning process. Circumstances such as on-site work can make attendance difficult at times. These situations need to be clearly communicated with your e-learning coordinator. Feedback from the recordings may be required and assignment submission maintained.

The webinar schedule is not put together until after registrations close. When you are accepted, you will receive a questionnaire which will help us determine your availability. When all questionnaires are returned we create a schedule which will endeavour to meet everyone’srequirements. Each webinar is between 60 and 90 minutes in duration and there will be at least 1 session scheduled on each presentation day. If you are unable to attend the webinars scheduled, we do have some options available. Contact AMORICOM for more details.

Our programmes actually require ‘attendance’ and participation at the live webinars. The interaction which takes place is an important part of the learning process. Our experience has shown that the interactive classes work exceptionally well and students are far more likely to stay motivated, enjoy the programme, and complete it successfully. See also ‘What if I cannot join or I miss a live webinar?’ In addition, accelerating the programme would be quite onerous for most students.

The programme reading and assignments may consume around 7 to 10 hours per week. This will vary depending on the programme subject matter and your existing knowledge. AMORICOM does not use a traditional semester-based system, which means that you can complete the qualification faster without long breaks. Each N4, N5 and N6 certificate will take 6 months part-time
