Not all colleges, or courses are the same.

You might not realise until after you enrol though unless you ask the right questions before enrolling.

You might expect a university or vocational college to be offering refunds if you withdraw, and accredited courses to have been developed and be delivered by leading experts in their fields. That isn't always the case.

Read on and consider some of the questions you might ask before making what could be a big commitment.

Challenge Based Learning - Make a Difference

CBL involves identifying a question or idea or problem, then finding ways to solve a problem or answer a question, based on a real-world situation. Our CBL assignments are designed to stretch students to encourage them to learn more and expand their skills and understanding. This is essential to improve knowledge, and therefore job and career prospects in the future. Learning is an ongoing process, where people continue to grow and develop understanding and knowledge throughout their lives. ACS prepare students to develop capacity to work in industry. We have been doing this for years.

‘Data collection’ and ‘data generation’ are sometimes used interchangeably.

Both terms refer to the methods that are used to gather data for analysis. However, ‘data collection’ hints that the researcher remains outside the creation of that data – potentially the data might have evolved without the researcher’s presence or involvement. ‘Data generation’ hints that the researcher is either an active participant in the creation of data or they may have arranged a situation in which rich data became available.
