Learning anything new is always easier with guidance and support. This can take many forms. We believe our students should have as much support and guidance as they want and need.
As with any journey, we all need a map. Undertaking higher education is, understandably, a big decision for many of our students. Many of you are working to pay the bills. All of you are looking for future career success via studying with La Trobe University.

For many, formal higher education is a distant memory - or something, as yet, untried. To give you the best opportunity for study success, our new, built-in study success toolkit will aid students to research, communicate, document and report with the confidence of a seasoned university student.
Success in both your studies and industry relies on your abilities to, not just understand and generate ideas and information, but to be able to communicate what you know in the appropriate way.

We develop our award-winning, online subjects with four, clear education principles:
At the start of each subject you will receive an overview that clearly outlines what you will need to focus on and achieve. This is in your multimedia, and a live subject introduction with your lecturer so you can ask questions face-to-face. You can revisit these as often as you wish as you work you way through the subject.
Everything is logically and clearly presented with built-in help and support throughout.
Our innovative writing and learning design team uses a variety of media to engage and interest you.
Highlights include:
Our content uses a variety of media to address learner preferences and moves between active and passive, theoretical and applied, challenging and simple.
Regularly spaced challenges allow you to question if you really understand the content. When you attempt a challenge and receive feedback, you get a better understanding of how well you’ve grasped the content. If you’re not sure, you can go back to clarify anything you feel you need to.
Our highly qualified academic team is here for you every step of the way. Our academic team is involved in the creation of the subjects you will study and are here for you 7:30 am until 10:00 pm (Monday to Thursday), and 7:30 am until 6:00 pm (Friday)*. These same lecturers will be those who you’ll meet in the live online lectures, subject introductions and who will mark your online assessments.
Our student support team will help you create your personal study plan even before you begin your course. They are here to help you with enrolment questions and will support you throughout your course. If you encounter an issue that is affecting your studies, contact our support team – you may be surprised how much they can help.

We also have a Career Support Centre (CSC) available to all our students. The CSC is packed with examples and templates for covering letters, résumés, career advice, interview tips, insightful information and a form to book a time to meet a career consultant for one-on-on advice.

Every time I put in a request for help on a weekday, someone calls me pretty much immediately! It makes me feel like I'm part of an actual class and not isolated because it's being done online. I commend you guys!
Going really well here! I cannot fault the La Trobe-Didasko team on anything. The support I have received has been amazing. Content so far has been great too.
It's been really helpful. Material was well laid out and straightforward. If I hit a brick wall there was always someone to help.
My experience here has been very good indeed. I am most impressed by the supportive interest that all the staff I have had contact with have displayed.
