Why Our Courses Are Different

If you want the convenience of self-study, but still want to be able to ask questions and receive feedback from an expert, then our courses are just right for you. Here are 7 reasons why you should consider our courses:

You Have Your Own Personal Mentor

We provide lots of instructor feedback in our courses. When you have questions, our instructors provide prompt email support. For example, in our graphics course, the instructor sometimes clarifies concepts by redrawing student work.

Hand-marked Assignments Help You Learn

How can you learn to write, design or program without actually doing it? And how can you improve, if no one makes suggestions? That's why we hand mark your assignments and give you feedback on how to improve your work [example].If you're going to use a skill in the workplace, then you need to practice it. Completing quizzes and reviewing posted answers may be helpful, but they can't replace the need for practice assignments.

Optional Instructor-Led Sessions Make E-learning Fun!

Some people learn better through group interaction. That's why all of our courses have optional chat sessions. For example, in our graphic design class, we use teleconferences to share ideas and brainstorm. As one student writes: "I appreciated the email and especially the teleconferences. The opportunity to get feedback on the deliverables was fantastic".

Course Materials You Get To Keep

In our courses, you get a copy of the course materials for your computer. You can choose to work offline and you can use the materials as a reference once the course is finished.

High Student Satisfaction Rates Offer Peace Of Mind

It can be tough searching for an online course. That's why we ask you to judge our courses by what our students say about them. Our students give us high praise for our commitment to their learning. In fact, one of our students told us we were "... the best training site I have found on the Internet! There is a lot of substandard instruction on the Net but OLL (Online-Learning.com) is definitely not one of them. More sites should learn from OLL!".

High Student Completion Rates Ensure Success

We're proud of our student completion rate. It ranges between 70-85%. To compare, first-year university completion rates average about 63%. And other e-learning school completion rates are as low as 20-40%. So why is our completion rate so high? We think it is our instructor-led approach that makes the difference.
