Live online is different from self-paced
Live online study gives you a scheduled class, tutor interaction and a shared pace. Self-paced learning offers more freedom but requires stronger planning. Confirm which model the intake actually uses.
Test the weekly routine
A sustainable timetable includes class, practice and assessment work. Ask for the session day and time, attendance expectations, recording policy and likely independent-study hours before you pay.
- Reliable internet and a suitable device
- A quiet place for live sessions
- Weekly time for practice
- A plan for missed work
Compare support, not only convenience
Flexible delivery is valuable when learners can still ask questions, receive feedback and understand what to do next. Review the tutor, project and learner-support model alongside the schedule.
Use Colombo delivery when it adds value
On-site sessions can help with labs, presentations and peer work. Live online delivery can reduce travel. Choose the format that suits the work inside the programme, not only the nearest option.
