6. What are the differences between classroom learning and distance education?

Distance education allows students to complete their course in a flexible, convenient and self-paced learning environment. Plus, students have access to the same benefits of a traditional classroom – relevant course material, teacher/student interaction, live student support – with the added benefits of learning from home.

Live Traditional Courses	vs.	Distance Education
Drive to class and sit in a classroom		Learn from the comfort of your home
Learn limited amount of material in class		Learn as quick as you want from home
Balance work/family issues		Choose to learn when it’s convenient
Learn at a specific time and place		Learn anytime, anywhere

7. How does distance education work?

Allied provides two convenient ways to complete a distance education course:

Traditional Correspondence - With Allied’s correspondence course, students receive all course materials through the mail.
Online - Students receive the same materials, but have the added benefit of completing all assignments and exams online. (Please note that some courses are 100% online and have all of the materials, assignments and exams available only through a computer.)

Once a student receives their course materials, they have up to one year to complete their course (up to 18 months with some medical career training courses). They can work at their own pace and complete assignments and exams when they choose. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a Certificate of Completion.

8. What are the benefits of choosing an online course?

Choosing an online course provides students with a few added benefits that include:

The ability to start the online course immediately after enrolling
Instant feedback/grading on quizzes and final exam
A Certificate of Completion received via e-mail immediately upon finishing the course

9. What if a student needs educational assistance with their online course?

At Allied, students are never alone during their studies. If a student requires assistance for any reason, they can contact a representative during regular business hours and receive live student support.

Allied representatives assist with technical issues, educational support and more. Help is only a phone call, e-mail or fax away!
