Educating Australian students for nearly a century

If you have dreams of getting ahead, you already have something in common with the 700,000-plus students who’ve enrolled with Cengage Education (formerly Thomson Education) since 1921. Over our history, our name has become synonymous with excellence in professional and personal development via distance education. Today, offering more than 100 correspondence courses across higher and vocational education, we are one of Australia’s largest private educators.

Nationally Recognised distance education

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) with the NSW Vocational Education & Training Accreditation Board (VETAB), Cengage offers numerous nationally recognised vocational correspondence courses – now commonly known by the term distance education – across many faculties. We are also registered as a higher education provider by the NSW Department of Education & Training (DET), with national recognition of our bachelor degrees.

Distance Education – Study from home at your own pace

In Australia, Cengage is a leading provider of distance education – the modern term for correspondence courses that allow students to study from home in their own time and at their own pace. These days, most of our correspondence courses or distance education courses are available online. So, if you’re a remote student or simply need flexible study, then distance learning is ideal. Review all the options to find the right distance education course for you.

Choose a Course, Enrol, Study at home and graduate

As a distance education student with Cengage, the only timetable is the one you set. You can enrol in a vocational course any time (higher education courses have a choice of 5 annual start dates), study when and where you please, and move fast or take your time to graduate. Our correspondence courses or distance education courses fit into your life instead of taking it over, so you can work, socialise and care for your family – all while you study for success.

A fresh look at online courses

Many of you have asked us to explain what you can expect from online studies and we hear you! Here we answer common questions, explore differences between online and traditional study and outline some of Cengage Education’s online courses. Decide today if an online course is for you!

What our winners said

Winners were grinners in our competition to identify the resources that students find most helpful -- probably because the three best entries have each been rewarded with a great USB pen.

One winner raved about the Cengage Education student forum as a great resource for pointing students in the right direction. The learning guides and internet got the thumbs up from a Financial Services student, and our third winner, a Design student, found inspiration in the colours and textures of her surroundings.

Thanks to everyone who entered.
