There is a huge choice of  online training providers that have come into existence over the past couple of years. More and more people are now realising that you don’t have to stay in the same career until retirement. There are now many options available to allow you to change direction in your career.

 

For the change of career pathway to be successful you need to gain current, up-to-date and recognised qualifications. It is therefore essential to ensure any qualification is validated by associations, regulating standards of practice in the career sector you have chosen.

It is even possible to study for a degree online such as  imc programs , which will provide you with the skills needed in integrated marketing communications.

Before you sign up to the first online training provider you find, ask the following questions to ensure you’re investing your money wisely.

Are the qualifications recognised?

Unfortunately there are many training providers on the internet that run purely for profit, whilst providing substandard training with a qualification at the end of it that isn’t recognised. It is important to check that the qualification isn’t just an in-house diploma.

How much does it cost?

The cost of training can be considerable and different providers will charge different amounts for essentially the same qualification. Research carefully and seek student reviews. Some registered training providers may offer funding options in the form of grants, loans and monthly interest free payments. Check to see if there any hidden costs. Training providers should be upfront about material and equipment costs.

What are the hours?

For a training course to fit into your current lifestyle it will be important to find out whether the course is full or part time, remember to factor in expected study time. Also find out how long the course takes to complete and if there are strict timescales or can extensions be requested if needed.

What is the pass rate?

Finding out the pass rate for previous students will enable you to assess the quality of teaching. A high fail rate, should ring alarm bells. Read reviews from past students and check out the authenticity.

What is the student to teacher ratio?

When studying online it will be difficult to assess how many other people have enrolled at the same time, without asking directly. Even though you are embarking on a course run online, you will need tuition individual to yourself and support when required. Ask if you will be allocated a tutor who you can contact directly.

Do you require special equipment?

If you are starting a course of study online you will obviously require a computer and internet access. Is there anything else necessary? You may require certain software packages, text books and equipment relating to your area of study. Make sure you have the budget to fund them and get everything together before the start date.

It may be necessary to gain prior knowledge by reading around the subject before the course starts, so leave enough time.

Finally you will need to ascertain whether your current qualifications are sufficient to get a place on the course. It maybe necessary in certain situations to do an access course, this will be particularly useful if you haven’t studied for a long period of time.
