Next steps: Your consultation call
Now that you’ve received your career guide, you’ll have the opportunity to speak directly
with one of our expert career consultants. The consultation call is structured around you,
so you can make an informed decision about whether your chosen course is right for you.

What is a consultation call?

A consultation call is designed for our team to gain a clear picture of your past experiences, future
goals, and what you want to gain from online learning. Your career consultant will use this insight
to make an expert recommendation on the best course to help you achieve your dream career,
and talk through your options.
You’ll gain an understanding of how long the course would take you, payment options available,
and the career path the course will take you on. Not only this, but you’ll also learn how we can
support you throughout, from enrolment to finding your next role with our Career Services.

Why is it important?
It’s a fantastic opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and we’re on-hand to alleviate
any of your fears before you commit to studying with us. We never provide ‘off the shelf’ training
because our learning packages are uniquely tailored to every student. Your career and the
pathway to get there is personal to you.
It’ll take around 30 minutes of your time, depending on how much you’ve researched already.
If you do know exactly what you want to study then most individuals find the consultation call
simply validates their research and gives them the confidence to pursue their future.

Is it a sales call?
Quite the opposite. We actively stop people from purchasing until they’ve had a full consultation.
Yes, the career and the training may sound great, however we need to gather as much
information about you to make sure it’s the right fit.
We’ll never enrol you on a course unless we know you’re going to be happy with the training itself,
the support we provide, and ultimately the career at the end of it.

With endless opportunities ahead, there’s never been a better time

to choose your career path.
