subject: Be Cautious While Buying An Online Course [print this page] With the advent of technology in education sector the entire sector has changed to a great extent. The change has so far been in the favor of students. Due to the advent of technology in education a new mode of education called online education has emerged. Through this mode of education one can pursue formal education from home with the help of an internet enabled computer. This mode of education is, hence, also called as homeschooling.
Realizing the great future of online education many business organizations have stepped into it and have started providing e-learning solutions to the students. While there are several legitimate online course providers whose certifications are acknowledged across the globe, there also exist swindlers in the market who sell poor quality courses in a tactful manner with the sole motive of pilfering money out of students pockets and thriving over it. Hence one must be very cautious while buying an online course. In this article I have highlighted some of the points that one must keep in mind while buying an online course. Below is the key list-
1. Renowned service provider: Dont get moved by the talks of marketing executives. Their job is to sell their product. Research yourself on internet and choose a service provider which is renowned. For example if you are planning to buy an IT training course then you may choose Microsoft course, if you are planning to buy an accounting course then you may opt for asage eLearning course
and do likewise for other courses. You course pursuit will not be much fruitful if the service provider is not so renowned.
2. Good Layout: The layout of the online course plays a very critical role in the effectiveness of the course pursuit. The better the layout would be the effective the course would be. A course with a poor layout wont turn out to be very effective as you wont enjoy learning. However if the course layout is interactive and interesting you would enjoy learning and thereby you would be able to spend long hours, studying online. Thus the entire course pursuit would turn out to be very effective. Be cautious about the course layout while buying a course. Dont lead yourself towards disappointment, ask the course providers for demo of the course. At times it happens that the course consists of nothing but Youtube embedded videos. Be cautious and save yourself from such a disappointment.
3. Recognition of the certification: What would be the use of the online training if after the pursuit of the course no employer recognizes the certificate earned by you? Make sure that the online course you buy rewards you with a well recognized certification at the completion of the course or at successfully passing the relevant exam, which so ever is applicable. This is why you should buy an online training from a brand. Go for sage certification courses, Microsoft certification courses, Oracle courses, Adobe Certification courses etc.
4. Course syllabus: Make sure that the course you buy has a comprehensive syllabus. And also make sure that each topic is provided for ample amount of time. The course syllabus should indeed be of great concern when you buy an online course.
