Why We Exist

Our core focus is putting YOU, the learner, at the centre of the learning adventure!
EVERYTHING we do is to ensure that your learning adventure is everything you want, and more. Learning should not define your lifestyle, but should be defined by your lifestyle. Learning no longer needs to be confined to a physical location, or a specific time, or a specific way of learning.

We Live Our Slogan!

Re-Think How You Learn!
At R|M|V|A, we don't believe that we have to keep learning in the same way that we have since the Industrial Revolution - factory-style conveyor belt learning. Or even since technology defined how we learn - cookie-cutter, video focussed, remote learning, lacking the human element. 

At R|M|V|A, our focus is on the learning adventure that we can give you, our learner. Our message to you is:
"Don't be defined by the norm. Don't be restricted by what you believe is how you should be learning in this day and age. Think about what YOU want. About how YOU want to learn."
