Sterling Business College offers a range of facilities and services to help students adjust to student life and make the most of their College experience.

Classes

  • Our average class size is around 20 – large enough for the exchange of ideas, but small enough for everyone to be heard.
  • Subjects are delivered over 9 week periods. Each subject has clear aims and a timeframe short enough to maintain dynamic, and well-planned study.

Timetables

  • Timetables vary each term for each course. New timetables are emailed to all students approximately two weeks prior to each term.
  • Study at Sterling Business College is designed to allow time out for other important aspects of your life. Classes are usually held over 3.5 to 4 days, so you have some time out for extra study, work experience, or a casual job.
