Students have an exciting array of options to access Qualification training at AIFA.
AIFA'S Web Learning Technology - WebLT:
WebLT is a distance education course that delivers supported training through a live and interactive virtual classroom of up to 12 students with video and audio participation. These virtual tutorials are scheduled for 2 hours once in each fortnight at the same time and day for each term of 10 weeks. WebLT does not require any special software. Copies of recorded sessions are available for review at completion of the virtual class.
WebLT is a structured progression program to ensure high completion rates for all students. WebLT allows you to talk frequently with you trainer and fellow students.
It is essential to have an internet connection with appropriate speed and a laptop/PC with a webcam and audio.. A broadband wired internet connection is required. Wireless broadband is often not reliable, affecting the quality of video and audio transmission and is not suitable for participating in WebLT. A dial-up internet connection is not sufficient for WebLT participation.
