Online learning

The Graduate Certificate in Managing Youth Self-Harm and Suicide is delivered entirely online. As a student at a school committed to professional, continuing and executive education, you’ll have access to high-quality online education tools – all you need is a computer and an internet connection.

Text-based Distance Learning Packages and weekly audiovisual lectures are delivered by leading experts in the field, both via a web-enabled learning platform called LMS. The course facilitator is available online and responds to emails, checks discussion postings and monitors progress on discussion threads. Appointments can be made for telephone discussions via email.
