American College of Technology mission is to deliver, career oriented, technical training and education to anybody, anywhere at a fair cost. We believe that affordable education should be available to everyone, at any time. Traditional colleges incur high administrative and organizational costs to support their infra-structure; campuses, theaters, and maintenance, such expenses are passed to the online student. At ACOT, we have eliminated most of the costs associated with traditional colleges and we believe in passing these significant savings on to our students. Click to compare!

ACOT programs are developed as a result of the founder's and staffs' teaching experience on college campuses and technical expertise. As a matter of fact, the online education delivered by ACOT exceeds the on-campus education at other colleges. ACOT provides daily interactive online classes, where students can hear the instructor and watch live presentations. In addition, ACOT provides students with video tutorials that illustrate further the study material and lectures. All live lectures are recorded so students can review the lectures as many times as needed, a feature not available in traditional schools. In addition our instructors are also available outside scheduled lectures to answer any questions students may have.

In order to deliver a rich learning experience to our students, ACOT adopted a comprehensive delivery system which consists of multiple components:


• Audio Class
  There are 3 online lectures a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Each lecture is 3 hours in length. To accommodate working individuals, Lectures are usually conducted in the evening, except for Saturdays.



• ACOT E-Learn
  The ACOT-eLearn environment is set up for students, using their user name and password, to logon and utilize all the components of the classroom, such as; participate in the audio lecture, review the study materials, send and receive messages, do their assignments, discuss study materials with their fellow students, take the online tests and communicate with their teachers.
  
  
• Online Tests
  Every week you have an online test which covers the material taught in that week. Each test is approximately one hour. You can take the test at anytime between Friday and Sunday at midnight. Once you submit the answers your score is displayed on the screen, and a copy is sent to your instructor.



• Video Tutorials
  In addition to the instructor's explanation, most courses are accompanied with video tutorials to explain the study materials further. Students can view the videos during class time, and later on at their convenience.
