YTC has expanded its online catalog to encompass all Management Studies and University Studies courses, made available through the Moodle Learning Management System.
YTC College is pleased to now offer a number of courses and programs for online study. Courses may be completed on a flexible schedule within a fixed course contract period, and students can study from home, without the need to travel for classes.
Online Study Guides, plus textbooks and other learning materials, combined with the support of an online tutor will allow students to learn at their own pace.
Those wishing to enrol in online courses should be experienced, reliable students with a proven track record of success. YTC will evaluate and enhance student readiness through a number of roles and with the help of supporting materials. Program Coordinators and Counsellors will also impart to students the importance of understanding the unique challenges and demands of online learning.
