Study with us

Contact Learning

Contact learning is defined as a blended, student-centered approach that combines face-to-face lectures, practical application, work-integrated learning, and group-based activities. This integrated model ensures that students engage with academic content, apply their knowledge in real-world and workplace settings, and collaborate with peers. The combination of academic study, practical experience, and professional exposure supports students in achieving both academic competence and career readiness.

Distance learning

Distance learning at eta college allows students the flexibility of an online mode of study as opposed to an on-campus face to face mode.

All learning is conducted remotely via our Online learning platform, with our tutoring staff supporting both academically and around the practical component.

At eta College, sport isn’t just something you do — it’s part of who you are. Our Play Sport programme gives student-athletes the platform to study, train, and compete at a high-performance level.
