Online Campus
Study online in a way that works for you
As part of SACAP’s commitment to a person-centred approach to learning, we have 2 online personal study options that you can choose from, namely: Online Live or Online Flexi. Each of these options uses a distinct blend of approaches to learning so that you can benefit from interaction and collaboration with your educators and fellow students, plus the ability to engage with other learning activities on a deeper self-directed level.
Online Live
Online Live is a hybrid approach to online learning. It combines weekly real-time virtual class engagement with self-paced online learning resources and activities. This means you will benefit from the interactive and social aspect of the virtual classes plus the freedom to work through learning resources and other online activities at a pace that suits you best.
Online Flexi
Online Flexi is an active, engaging and collaborative learning experience. It’s a great choice if you want the freedom to manage your weekly course requirements and your other life commitments, while still enjoying the benefits of interacting and engaging in learning activities with your educator and virtual classmates. At your educator’s discretion, live webinars may also be scheduled from time to time.
