Online courses are developed and taught by qualified faculty. All of the faculty members are approved by the Awarding Body/University before teaching on the program.

Most modules are normally delivered over 1-2 semesters (each semester is approximately 3-4 months in duration). Students will have a course schedule with assignments due throughout the term on specified dates. The ATHE programmes at Levels 3, 4, 5, and 7 are self-paced over a specific duration.

In a typical online course, the faculty will have an online syllabus that outlines the assignments and course activities on a weekly schedule. Most courses will combine assigned readings from text books and other materials, online exercises, problems, or activities put together by the faculty, interactive discussions on cases, situations, or questions posed by the faculty, and assigned group or individual projects or papers. In a normal week, learners will be expected to attend the live lectures and tutorials, complete the assigned readings from the text book and other resources, go over the lecture notes, live interactive audio meetings provided and participate in the asynchronous discussion boards. In certain weeks assignments may be due. These have to be turned in on time to avoid penalty.
