Mistakes to avoid while selecting an online course

Various colleges and universities worldwide offer online education through online degrees, online certifications, and distance courses. But not all online courses are good enough or credible enough.

Following are a few tips you can follow before choosing the best online course that suits your goals:

Not researching the course before enrolling

You should research a course before enrolling, whether it is an online degree or offline certification. Check the syllabus, reviews, course duration, educators, and other necessary details before enrolling.

Not verifying affiliation and accreditation

Choosing online learning platforms of recognised universities and educational institutes is best. You should verify if a course is accredited by UGC, NAAC, AICTE or other accreditation bodies.

Not checking the course fees

Online courses are more affordable than their offline counterparts. You must ensure that the course fees do not burn a hole in your pocket.

Not choosing the right specialisation

You must decide the specialisation you want to pursue in your online course that will support your career goals. Assessing your interest is crucial before choosing a course.

Other than checking the mere specialisation of any course, you should also check the following:

  • The course offers sufficient study materials.
  • The online course offers the same training as an offline course.
  • Services like 24*7 career support and placement assistance are available.
