Proven IT learning methods

• Self-directed learning - no formal lectures to attend
• Personalised tuition from our Instructors
• Blended learning strategies

Computer Power pioneered a unique ‘student-centred learning’ model which is used at all our institutes. In our continuous improvement of over forty-three years, our self-directed learning style continues to be proven to be successful by our 31,000+ graduates and our industry placement with employers.

Self-directed learning

The self-directed learning style offered by Computer Power allows you to take control of your own learning. You will attend the institute on a personalised schedule agreed to at enrolment. All the resources you require are supplied for you and instructors are on hand to support you in working through your qualification.

Unlike a traditional school, you will not be learning in a classroom with one teacher, taking you through a topic at a time. Instead you will be working on an open training floor at your own work station. This means that you can study at your own direction and not be held back by students who are learning more slowly. Most students find that there are topics that they find much easier than others. This also means that you have the opportunity to fast-track through easier courseware and spend more time on more challenging courseware. There are no conflicting assessment and class times to worry about. If you miss a day of study, you can pick up exactly where you were without having to catch up with the rest of a class.
