Why you need to sign up for that online course today
Are you considering signing up for an online course? Perhaps you’d like to get into photography, want to enhance your social media marketing skills or learn how to unlock your true potential?
If so, you’re not the only one. With economic uncertainty hanging over our heads, and lots more time to spare, many people have turned to online learning platforms during lockdown to expand their skill set and knowledge.
Here we look at why an online course could be a great move for you.
The benefits of signing up for online courses
Flexibility
Whether you’re a working mum, an entrepreneur, or a stay-at-home dad, you’ll no doubt lead a very busy life. If you want to expand your skill set or gain qualifications, online courses are perfect, as you can fit classes around your schedule at a time that suits you.
Career advancement
If you’d like to make improvements in your employment standing, an online course could help you advance in your career. When you choose to upskill, you’ll be able to perform better in your current role and could even enhance your chances of promotion.
Range of topics
Your local university may not offer you a course in the subject you’re interested in, whereas online learning platforms offer thousands of topics for you to choose from, so it’s unlikely you’ll have to compromise on the subject you’d like to take. And you get to study from the comfort of your own home.
Online training platforms
Udemy is a global marketplace for teaching and learning – and therefore a great place to start. Offering 150,000 courses in over 65 languages, there is no doubt that you will be able to find a course to help transform your life. Other good platforms include The Open University and FutureLearn.
Things to consider before signing up
Before signing up for a professional or personal development course, it’s important to choose a topic that is perfectly suited to your goals. If it’s a subject you’re not passionate enough about, your enthusiasm could dwindle, and you may be less disciplined.
Another thing to consider is the cost of the course. Before committing to anything, take your time to consider all your financial options and decide whether it is something you can afford at the moment. While online courses are certainly beneficial, they often don’t come cheap.
