AIE Online

AIE has been running courses online since 2005 and a dedicated online campus was established in 2012 to focus on providing the best training and support possible for our online students. AIE Online is staffed by a friendly team who make every effort to inject the AIE experience into everything we do. Our teachers are experienced industry professionals who love teaching and are just as passionate about games and film as our students.

Online education is the choice for many people who want to choose when and where they study. All AIE courses are available for online study: whether you are looking to learn more about the fundamentals of games and film or looking at getting qualifications, knowledge and industry skills to pursue a career.

AIE’s Online courses are taught in virtual classrooms which bring the experiences of class-based education to online learning. Students can watch lectures, participate in live tutorials and interact with other students during and after classes. All sessions are recorded allowing students to go back over notes or catch-up on missed sessions. Teachers present group instruction, facilitate group projects and conduct private one-on-one support.

We’re keen to help you meet your learning goals and support a range of study options for those who are too busy to keep up with a strict study schedule. Let us know what you’re trying to achieve, and we will suggest the best plan for you.
