Thomson Education Direct and the Australian College have recently merged and are now able to provide greater training opportunities for people just like you. The Australian College of Journalism, Travel & Tourism and Business & Marketing has provided specialist courses for over 20 years, and over that time have become a well known and respected distance education provider. With the combined resources of the Australian College and Thomson Education Direct, we are now able to offer new levels of student services.

We are now bigger and better than ever

The Australian College provides approximately 40 courses through the distance education mode of learning, with a recognised focus in the areas mentioned above. These areas will become complimentary to the existing areas offered by Thomson Education Direct, which span 10 faculties of study including Business, Child Care, Computers & IT, Counselling, Animal Care, Creative Arts, Hospitality and Technical & Trade based courses.

This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to strengthening our market presence. The main beneficiaries of this acquisition are our students, who will now have access to a larger range of distance education courses at the same affordable price that Thomson Education Direct has prided itself on providing.

What this means for you

The outcome for you is a larger selection of quality distance education courses covering an even broader range of areas. Now with over 125 courses available, students are able to become qualified to compete at a higher level for that next job or promotion, retrain for a new career, upgrade current skills, or enhance a hobby or personal interest. You can achieve all of this while studying from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace!
