What are the advantages of learning on MySATS?

- You will finish courses faster, and thus earn your qualification quicker. Courses have fixed start and end dates, and the structure helps to keep you motivated and interested in your studies.
- There are no written examinations. You will be graded largely on the basis of your participation in class activities (e.g., discussions, journals, etc.).
