Nearly a decade ago I quit school and started working a professional job. Andrew introduced me to a course that suits my hectic life. Till now I couldn't believe that I've made it this far. Andrew is a really helpful person, always prompt when needed. I strongly recommend these guys.

I recently decided to take the next step in my career and further education. My choice was Elephant & Cross and I am very happy with my choice. High standards and professional team, always there to help. I am very grateful to Andrew who does his job very professionally and dedicatedly.

Online learning is giving me the opportunity to study at my own pace and in my own time. A mixture of presentations and videos make the lessons quite engaging and although you are studying on your own you are never alone — tutors are always available together with all the other resources you need. Highly recommend.

Elephant & Cross is the best and easiest way to obtain Level 4 and Level 5 without having to quit your job. You can study at your own pace with no assignment deadlines. I enjoyed studying here and I thank the administrator for the establishment of Elephant and Cross. Thank you for everything!

I was working full-time and needed something flexible. I studied on my commute and finished in just over a year. It changed my career trajectory completely. I have since been promoted to a management role I never thought I would reach this fast.

I am a mum of two and I honestly thought I would never be able to study again. The self-paced format changed everything. I studied during nap times and evenings. Genuinely one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

Who It's For

This course was built
for your situation

If any of these sound like you, you're exactly who we designed this for.

💼

The full-time professional

You're working 9-to-5 (or longer). You need something that fits around your job — not the other way around.

👨‍👩‍👧

The parent juggling everything

School runs, homework, bedtime routines. Your free time is 9pm to midnight. You need flexibility in the margins of a busy family life.

📈

The career changer

You've been doing the same thing for years and want a new direction. You need business fundamentals and a credential that opens new doors.

💪

The experienced professional

You've got 10+ years of experience but no formal qualification. You know the work — you just need the paper to match.

🏆

The promotion chaser

Your manager told you a qualification would help. You need something recognised, affordable, and fast — not a 3-year commitment.

💡

The aspiring entrepreneur

You've got an idea but need the business knowledge. You want strategy, finance, marketing, and operations — the full toolkit.

Spots are filling up. Check yours.

What to Expect

Traditional education wasn't
built for your schedule

Here's how this compares to what you're used to.

🔴 Traditional diplomas
🟢 Elephant & Cross

Fixed class schedules

Attend lectures at set times that clash with your job. Miss a session, fall behind.

Study whenever you want

6am before work, lunch break, midnight after the kids are asleep. Pre-recorded lectures on your schedule.

Commute to campus

Weekly trips to a physical campus. Traffic, parking, wasted time.

100% remote

Study from your sofa, a café in Sliema, or anywhere with Wi-Fi. All materials online, always available.

High-stakes exams

Months of study condensed into a 2-hour test. One bad day can cost you the whole module.

Zero exams, ever

12 practical assignments based on real business scenarios. Prove competence through work, not memorisation.

No flexibility when life happens

Family emergency? Busy season? Tough luck — the programme moves on without you.

Pause up to 90 days

Pause your studies and payments whenever you need to. No progress lost.

€6,000+ tuition

Campus-based diplomas often cost €6,000+ upfront. Plus transport, books, and hidden fees.

€220/month, 0% interest

€3,960 total in 18 interest-free instalments. No hidden fees, no deposit, cancel anytime.

You're on your own

Large class sizes. Limited access to lecturers. Good luck getting personalised feedback.

Unlimited 1-to-1 tutoring

A dedicated tutor for every student. Book as many free sessions as you need.
