COVID-19 has changed everything and Willis College has proudly pivoted to ensure we’re providing the same high-quality education that we have for more than 150 years. 

To keep everyone safe, our in-classroom learning has moved to remote learning, temporarily offering classes online until it’s safe to return to our physical campuses. At the same time, we have proudly launched Willis College Online, a 100% internet based campus with classes offered online only. 

Naturally these two similar but VERY DIFFERENT learn from home options have caused a bit of confusion. To simplify it all so that you can decide what option best works for you, here are some of the key similarities and differences between temporary remote learning and learning with Willis College Online.
