We Know that education has to be tailor-made to the needs of our students.

Our 3-Tier approach

Anytime Academy’s 3-Tier Learning Approach was created to support adults who are changing careers and need flexible, affordable online career training that fits real life. We recognize that mid-career professionals, job seekers, and working adults have different schedules, learning styles, and levels of support they need to succeed. That’s why our programs are designed around three clear learning options.

Tier 1: Self-Paced Career Courses offer fully asynchronous, online learning for independent adult learners. Students can start anytime and move through coursework at their own pace, making this option ideal for professionals balancing work, family, or unpredictable schedules. Tier 1 is well suited for career exploration, foundational skill building, and learners who want maximum flexibility in their career change journey.

Tier 2: Guided Self-Paced Learning combines the flexibility of self-paced online courses with direct instructor support. In addition to asynchronous coursework, learners receive scheduled contact hours with a professor for questions, feedback, and guidance. This tier is ideal for career changers who want reassurance and expert insight without committing to a fully scheduled class.

Tier 3: Instructor-Led Online Classes provide a more traditional learning experience in an online format. These courses include live instruction, structured assignments, and regular feedback from an instructor. Tier 3 is designed for adult learners who benefit from accountability, interaction, and a clearly defined schedule while preparing for certifications or transitioning into new careers.

Together, Anytime Academy’s three tiers create a flexible career training pathway that meets learners where they are and supports where they want to go. Whether you need self-paced learning, guided support, or instructor-led training, Anytime Academy offers practical, career-focused education for adults ready to move forward.

How to Choose the Right Tier

  • Choose Tier 1 if you need maximum flexibility and are comfortable learning independently.

  • Choose Tier 2 if you want expert guidance while keeping a self-paced schedule.

  • Choose Tier 3 if you thrive with live instruction, structure, and accountability.

All tiers are designed for adult learners, working professionals, and career changers and focus on practical, real-world skills that support career transitions.
