Online Learning with ORA – How it Works
Please read below for further information about Oxford Royale Academy's online courses and how they work.
How it Works
Overview
Oxford Royale Academy's online courses - delivered through its online learning platform, ORA Prep - are geared towards students aged 16-18 who are thinking of applying to university or who are undergoing a university application. They expand on the subjects students will be studying at school, offering a taste of what it might be like to study those subjects at university, as well as offering an insight into brand new subjects that students are likely to have never studied before.
Getting Started
To get started on a course, simply select a course from our selection of over 30 courses. You can either choose to take that course only - usually for £29.99 - or to opt for one of our membership options, which give access to all courses for either 3 months (£89.99) or 6 months (£129.99). Once you click on 'start this course', you will be taken through to the online learning platform, where you will complete the enrolment process and make payment. Then you're ready to go!
Membership Options
If you just want to take a single course, you can enrol on just that course for £29.99, which gives you access to the course for up to 30 days. Or you can opt for one of our membership packages:
3-Month Membership: £89.99.
This grants access to all 30+ online courses for 3 months, along with all added extras. This is our most popular enrolment option.
6-Month Membership: £129.99.
This grants access to all 30+ online courses for 6 months, along with all added extras. This gives students the greatest flexibility in completing multiple courses.
What's Included?
Our online courses provide a completely unique, interactive learning experience, based around audio lectures combined with visual material. Courses run entirely at the student's pace - with the ability to rewind sections as required - and regular quizzes, activities and exams ensure that students follow the material covered. At the end of the course students are awarded the prestigious ORA Prep course certificate for their course.
All courses include the following:
Interactive Tutorials
Online quizzes and exams
Access to the course discussion forum
Course worksheets and case studies
ORA Certificate of completion

Troubleshooting
ORA Prep courses are primarily aimed at students who are thinking of applying to university, and who want to learn more about the subject they’re thinking of applying for, either to get a flavour of what the subject might be like, or to expand their knowledge of that subject.
An Interactive course is a course that runs entirely at the pace of the user, consisting of high-quality audio lectures and engaging multimedia.
Yes, you can take as many courses as you like. Once you have an account after enrolling on your first course, you will be able to view and enroll on any other course from within your learning profile. You can either enrol on each course individually, or you may prefer a 3-month membership (£89.99) or 6-month membership (£129.99) package.
If you enrol on an individual course, you will have 30 days within which to complete this. If you require a bit more time, please email us at [email protected] If you enrol on a membership package (3 or 6 month), you will have access to all courses for the duration of time specified in the package. Again, if you require just a little more time, please contact us at [email protected]
Yes, you will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course. This certificate will be graded with the score from your final exam, so make sure to revise thoroughly first!
If your course isn’t displaying correctly in your browser, you may need to download a modern, faster browser such as Google Chrome. Make sure you have access to a good internet connection, and that you have closed other browser windows and tabs. Please also make sure you have Flash Player installed. If problems persist, please contact [email protected]
