Online Teaching and Learning Programme
Shaping the future of online education
The fully online, international Online Teaching and Learning Certificate Programme has been designed specifically for working adults. Our students complete their certificate and extend their professional skills and competencies in realising online and blended learning solutions without interrupting their careers.
There are two Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) programmes (Basics of Online Teaching and Learning, Media and Trends in Online Teaching and Learning), each comprised of two course modules. This means that you can complete a certificate within two semesters. CAS availability will be published in the semester handbook of course modules.
