Upskill in your Downtime with ACA Training Online
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.

Weekly Update from The Chairman and CEO
Hello ACA members and colleagues, We hope you're all holding up in these difficult circumstances. Like you, we are all following developments and announcements regarding COVID-19. As you know, we have postponed a number of events and training course - this was prudent in light of government directives and the need to socially distance ourselves. We are still planning to host future training courses as advertised on our website, but we are realistic as to whether we will be allowed to do so. We are working on putting the training courses online in as timely a manner as possible.
