Flexible or open learning is a way of taking courses with nationally recognised qualifications, such as Certificate IV in Sport Coaching for the Martial Arts, which you enrol for with ICK but instead of regular classes, you will be given teaching material to be used in your own time, at home, work or in college, supported and assessed by a personal tutor.
Flexible learning is also used as a way of delivering learning through small workshops for students attending regularly at college or for distance learners who can participate in small group sessions. You can usually start and finish a course at any time of the year. It is also a way of continuing to study on many courses, if you start attending regular classes at ICK and then find you have other commitments, responsibilities or employment, and can transfer to a flexible or open learning arrangement.
You will normally be a fully-enrolled member of the college, with full access to all the services of the college, including the learning resources available on the web. The courses last as long as you need, although you may need to re-enrol at regular intervals.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), is often offered as a flexible or open learning option, with attendance at workshops only where skills need topping up.
