FAQ'S (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q. Are these studies recognised?

A. ACS has an excellent international reputation.

Q. Will this get me a job?

A. We rarely hear of students having difficulties with employment once a course has been successfully completed. Our courses are designed to make you employable! Having said this though; there is always more to getting a job than just study. Plenty of university graduates end up unemployed. We try to develop more than just knowledge in order to help you avoid such situations.

Q. How am I assessed

A. Assessment is holistic (We consider not only exam results, but also assignments, and all interaction you have throughout the course with your tutor). If you don't satisfy requirements, you are always given opportunities to resit exams or resubmit assignments.

Q. What support will I get?

A. Lots more than most colleges. Our priority is to support our students. We have academic staff on duty daily -both in the UK, and in Australia. This means that you can phone or email us and get in touch 16 out of 24 hrs, every working day. Our policy is that student phone calls and emails are given number 1 priority. It is rare that they are not answered on the same working day as when we receive them.

Our academics provide mentoring and careers or business advice whenever requested; at no additional cost to our students.

Q. How can I be sure I choose the right course?

A. We strongly recommend that you use our careers advisory service. Click here
