Over the coming weeks and months, you will see the ACA implementing remote communication tools to all of our member offerings, particularly into our training and certification program. Already a number of our ACA Training and Certifications courses are available to be studied remotely and more courses will be added to the program as we progress. We particularly encourage anyone impacted with reduced hours from their workplaces to use their downtime to upskill, to get that certification, or simply participate in further learning so you are ready to take advantage of the opportunities that will undoubtedly be there when we come out the other side. The ACA offers various payment methods to suit budgets including partial course payments, payment plans, credit card etc along with course discounts for multi bookings.
