How Distance Learning Works with the E-Learning Group

Registration is conveniently done online at any time, and the start of studies is also flexible.

After registration, you will receive access to the online campus within a few days, where you can access all learning materials.

You will study independently and according to your own schedule for the duration of the distance learning program, but you will also be personally supported and supervised by lecturers and coaches at all times.

The learning platform offers high-quality scripts, instructional videos, podcasts, optional online lectures, case studies, and many interactive practice examples to consolidate knowledge sustainably.

The distance learning program is divided into modules, each of which concludes with a module exam. Preparation for the exams is done with control questions and learning checks that can be repeated as often as desired. Exam formats may include traditional exams, multiple-choice tests, or the writing of an exposé.

There are no fixed exam dates: All exams and assessments can be taken online, without fixed dates or coordination with lecturers. You decide when you want to take the exam.
