On Demand vs Live Online
Which one is best for me
| ON DEMAND VS | LIVE ONLINE |
|---|---|
| Flexibility: With On Demand you can study at your own pace, anytime, anywhere on any device. | For those relatively new to online learning and for people who would benefit from the motivation that a professional tutor provides: Live Online courses are delivered by our team of highly experienced, fully qualified accountancy tutors. They give you a structured classroom course, motivating you to stay focussed and on track to success. |
| Lower cost: On Demand courses are lower in cost compared to Live Online. | Complete the course in less time: Live Online fast track courses allow you to qualify in a fraction of the time compared to On Demand courses. |
| Suitable for distance learning students who are: Experienced independent learners; Self-motivated and have a disciplined approach to learning. | More likely to complete the course: With Live Online courses our tutors will motivate you to complete the course. Completion rates are higher than On Demand courses – we regularly achieve 100% pass rates! |
| Achieve better grades: You are more likely to achieve higher grades (merits and distinctions) on a Live Online course, compared to On Demand courses. | |
| Networking opportunities: You will have the opportunity to network with your peer group and with McArthur Morgan clients. | |
| Real life application: On a Live Online course you will be taught real life application of accountancy, which isn’t possible with On Demand courses. | |
| A more proactive approach: Encouraging you to be accountable for fulfilling your potential. It gives us a greater opportunity to make an impact on your professional life. | |
| The best of both worlds: On a Live Online course you will receive all the materials from our On Demand course, including the pre-recorded video recordings. Live Online offers you flexibility within the classroom structure, allowing you to move between day, evening and weekend sessions, which we would actively encourage you to do. Plus full access to the live recordings from the Live Online classes for every module. |
