What is a distance learning course?

Distance Learning is just as the name implies, learning from a distance. You will learn mainly from your home or anywhere else outside of an educational campus. Technological advances and changes in educational methods have made studying at home possible. Traditional colleges and universities are also included in this process.

Distance Learning enables you to completely finish your chosen educational path without even leaving your home.

Such an easy and effective method of education has never been accessible to the general public no matter where you reside, what your nationality is, your race, your religious beliefs, or age.

Who requires distance learning?

Distance Learning is compatible with any person worldwide. Distance Learning enables people to complete their desired courses of study without turning their life "upside-down".

Young students, their parents, managers, people who have not completed their studies, busy people, people who cannot afford the expensive annual fees ($20,000 or $30,000) in the traditional training, and people who wish to get an American education without leaving their home country. These people and many more require distance learning.

Can I enroll in more than one course at a time?

AAHSI recommends you only complete one course at a time. However, if you have some level of previous knowledge, you can do a maximum of two programs at once.

What kind of diploma will I receive?

AAHSI offers certificate-level programs. You will receive a diploma or certificate that proves you have successfully completed an IT training program or proficiency level in the language school. Diplomas or certificates such as these are very useful for someone who needs to prove their level of knowledge in a detailed and focused area without going to college. Your skills will improve and this certificate will help you when looking for a job or improving your career. AAHSI provides you with the opportunity to earn certifications in over 900 of today's leading IT skills.

Note: To avoid any confusion, we note this diploma is not a "degree", as degree status requires 2 to 4 years of instruction in specialized institutions.

What is the costs of education through AAHSI?

All about course costs can be found here: http://www.aahsi.org/costs.php

Does issuing a diploma have additional costs?

All diplomas issued by AAHSI are in electronic format. You can print your diploma for FREE. If you ask AAHSI to send you a hard copy diploma by postal mail, it will cost $50 plus shipping.

What is the exact process of IT courses learning?

Every Tuesday AAHSI will deliver your video lessons and all required instructions. Student must complete all of the tasks assigned in the videos by the following Tuesday. Video lessons are one of the easiest and quickest learning procedures, but at the same time you will have an instructor available who can help you if you have any question.

What is exact process of language courses learning?

Every Tuesday AAHSI will deliver your required tasks and instructions. Students must complete all of the tasks using the GOLDEN KEY learning method by the following Tuesday. This is a self-instructed language learning method - one of deeper and more logical language learning. However, you will also have an instructor available who can help you with questions during the week.

How do I submit exams every Tuesday?

You can submit your exams through the e-mail address assigned for your course. You will receive the e-mail address after you have successfully registered and have been admitted into an AAHSI course.

What grades must I get to successfully obtain my diploma?

You must have completed a minimum of 90% of all tasks every week throughout the entire duration of a course to successfully obtain a diploma.

Do IT courses have a final exam at the end of instruction?

No, a final exam is not necessary and doesn't exist at AAHSI, because AAHSI asks for a high level (over 90%) of all tasks to be completed throughout the entire duration of instruction. This way our instructors follow the student, and he or she must show real learning and understanding throughout the entire process. Usually everyone who is seriously focused can learn using our video learning method and gain a high competence level in their area. We have seen through our experience before now, the most dangerous behaviors are for you to become inactive, lazy, or similar behaviors that inhibit your regular focus on IT training during your education. Try avoiding these behaviors.

What if I start to become inactive?

AAHSI is not responsible for your inactivity. We reserve video lessons and instructors for the months you have paid. If you are inactive for any reason AAHSI will NOT refund any monthly payments. Please be careful. We are directly and openly saying this. If you know that you will be unavailable for more than two weeks during a course, its better if you do not register in this term for your IT training through AAHSI.

If you become active again later, you can pay for new educational months and finish your IT training.

Do the IT courses and language school follow the same method of instruction?

No, language courses have a different way of learning. Languages courses do not have video lessons. AAHSI has a special learning method, the GOLDEN KEY. The GOLDEN KEY perfectly "fits in" the distance learning option of language courses and is based on written communication (such as e-mails or instant messenger). You can learn more about the GOLDEN KEY language learning method here: http://www.aahsi.org/goldenkey.php

How long do I have to complete my course?

Most of our IT courses are designed to be completed within 3 months; but some courses can be shorter or longer based on the complexity of the educational area.

Language courses are based on monthly educational steps and students can learn month by month until the student is satisfied with his or her level of progress using our GOLDEN KEY language learning method.

Will AAHSI provide me with everything I need for education till I earn my diploma?

Yes, AAHSI will provide all training material to you. This is included in the tuition cost.

Note: AAHSI does not provide you with any software you may need to complete IT training tasks. Students are responsible for obtaining all required software.

What if I need more than the usual education time?

This is not a problem, at the course end date you can go into 'month to month' mode. This will extend your time, and you can pay per additional month or more of education until you are satisfied with your level of competency.

What methods of payment do you accept?

AAHSI accepts all major credit cards, PayPal, Moneybookers, Bank Wire Transfer, or Western Union.

Note: Bank Wire Transfer has an additional $20 fee for third party bank costs.

How much is the tuition?

One month of education costs $300. See tuition and fees section for full options and details.

Can I pay monthly?

Do I get a discount if I pay all at once?
