Athena College of Ireland is paving the way to successful live online education for students all over the island of Ireland.
Based in Balbriggan in Co. Dublin and catering to students from all over the country, the college offers individuals the ability to learn online and educate themselves from the comfort of their own home or workplace via live, fully interactive courses.
The company, which is headed by Managing Director, Deirdre O’Reilly, is designed to meet the changing needs of 21st century students.
This online college offers a live online curriculum which is aligned with the curriculum delivered to students in normal college environments. The Online Academics at Athena College are industry experts who care about their students and specialise in delivering high-quality live online education for all.
The college offers a variety of live online courses including Quality Assurance, Education and Teaching, Social Media/Digital Marketing, Health and Safety as well as Food Safety. Athena College offers students a number of unique advantages over both traditional classroom learning and the distance learning offerings currently on the market. The college uses a unique online learning platform that enables students to attend courses live from anywhere in the world and on any digital device, thus allowing participants to maintain their other work and life commitments.
“E-Learning or as we also like to refer to it, technology enhanced learning (TEL), goes beyond course work and books. Our classes are hands on and interactive and this significantly influences behaviour, increasing competency. Our offering is innovative and fun and classes are taught live through interaction with excellent academic and industry experts. E-learning/TEL is truly a worldwide phenomenon and students can participate in forums, chat rooms, and project groups,” says Deirdre O’Reilly, MD of Athena College of Ireland.
“Online education gives you the flexibility to fit education into your busy lifestyle from any location. We offer several types of live online courses and virtual hybrid courses. We accommodate our students’ needs to be flexible by providing an online classroom experience unlike any other college,” adds Deirdre.
We believe students have a desire to better themselves in their respective fields. I have spoken with restaurant owners and foodservice businesses who have a need for our food safety and HACCP courses to meet their regulatory requirements and they love the fact they can take these courses from home or from the restaurant as it saves time and money.
Students with Athena College have access to cutting edge technology, communities of subject matter experts, and unlimited access to the Athena learning management system and learning environment. Athena College is set to be a pioneer in live online education into the future.
Athena College offers a wide variety of courses for the hospitality and foodservice industry, with an example of their Food Safety Courses covering Food Hygiene, HACCP and Meat Manufacturing Labeling Compliance. Athena College can also develop industry or sector specific bespoke training courses upon request.
