The ASOMI College of Sciences is based on the experience of an educational model that combines the effectiveness of the training developed within the academic context.

Our goal is to provide innovative educational models that can develop effective results and grant quality to students, professionals and people who have decided to implement their education, building a learning environment in which they become the protagonists of the learning experience.
We develop a pathway that transfers knowledge, strengthens it and transforms it into skills, allowing people to achieve concrete results.

Our vision is to increase synergies, which take resources from decades of experience, results on the field, and academic partnerships and accreditations such as the one with a renowned British institution, the Swansea University.

The ACS project addresses its educational offer at national and international level by developing academic partnerships able to provide opportunities for the enrichment of its students.

The lecturers and mentors, involved in the projects and educational activities, have acquired an important professional reputation and will make their expertise available to learners. In fact, in each academic path, professionals of recognised value and ability will take part as lecturers and through a blended education model (residential in-house and e-learning). We will provide a product that is intended to be pragmatic and grounded, but also aware of the importance of innovation.
The attention regarding the international guidelines in the educational environment finds its place in a pathway fully designed to meet the students’ aims and expectations.
ACS develops its work considering its students, collaborators and staff at the centre of the training process giving them new opportunities and investing in their growth, training and development. Particular attention is given to all the processes of inclusiveness and equality of treatment, regarding both students and staff.
Therefore, ACS will set and develop a qualified staff that will correctly comply with the management of the administrative activities necessary to offer a wide range of services to students and the ability to be highly responsive and operating in any kind of situation.

The questions will be proposed to each student in a random order as determined by the software. The software also utilises a locked browser that prevents the student from leaving the exam page. If such an attempt is made, the exam will be stopped immediately. A tutor will monitor the exam live, and everything will be recorded so that the material can be viewed even after the examination has been completed.

In the event of a fail, the student will be given the opportunity to revisit the assessment with the relevant tutor to understand the errors and be able to retake the assessment at an agreed later date. The minimum time before the remedial assessment will be one month from the date on which the notice of failure was received. The student will have two assessment dates, the official date and the make-up date, in order to pass the assessment. Should the student fail the assessment again, they will be required to pay a fee of €150
