The FAL online courses continue to stimulate interest from a selection of people from all over the world.

The added attraction of an innovative opportunity to contribute to an online course forum attached to selected courses is providing e-learners with an on-going interaction with both Tutors and other course members.  

Since the inception of the first online course in January 2004 (Online Psychology for Soccer) almost 12,000 people worldwide have enrolled and successfully completed the current suite of courses.

Many have contributed to these course forums, which are managed and reviewed on a daily basis. Some examples are cited below from forums attached to the Psychology, Fitness and Child Protection courses:-

"I thought I’d just say how much I enjoyed the online Psychology course.   The flexibility of being able to go online when it’s convenient suited me. The content of the course was really good. The mentoring aspect was challenging yet rewarding and helpful in terms of making you think about scenarios. It was fun too!!"
