Let me reveal right away that I’m quite enthusiastic about online courses.
An online course is an opportunity to boost your professional development without pausing your daily life and business.
Just as it is a flexible way to offer education to a larger group. For example, your department, where all employees have different schedules and needs.
In short, you should take an online course because:
#1 You get the most out of the training
#2 You can take the course whenever it suits you
#3 You learn from the best
#4 It’s cheaper than physical courses
#5 You retain valuable knowledge forever
The longer explanation is here.
You get the most out of the training
With an online course, you can take things at your own pace. What you find easy can be quickly skipped, and what you find difficult can be rewound and listened to again.
If an entire department is taking the same course, you will certainly experience that different people are challenged by different things. Therefore, everyone gets the most out of the course when it can be taken at their own pace.
You can take the course whenever it suits you
Instead of being tied to a specific day or time frame, you can take the course whenever it fits into your daily schedule.
You can take it all at once or break it into smaller chunks. The advantage is that you can take the course when you feel most energized, ensuring you get the best results.
You learn from the best
When you take an online course, you are not limited by where you are located.
A wealth of new opportunities opens up when you don’t have to worry about whether the course is within biking distance or close to a highway. You can take a course from the person you think is the best, whether they are in Copenhagen, Kolding, or Kabul.
It also gives you the freedom to arrange your learning space exactly as (and where) it suits you.
It’s cheaper than physical courses
There are online and physical courses in all price ranges.
But generally, an online course is cheaper than a comparable physical course.
This is because it costs less to produce and distribute an online course. It can be recorded once and sold indefinitely. And the less time and money needed to conduct a course, the cheaper it can be for you to take.
You retain valuable knowledge forever
When you’ve completed a course, hopefully, things stick with you. But you need a good memory if you can remember everything that was said.
That’s why it’s an advantage that you can pull up the knowledge you gained, even after the course is over.
When you purchase an online course, you have all the knowledge available.
It allows you to refresh what you’ve learned or learn new things that didn’t quite stick the first time.
Even after 10 weeks, 10 months, or 10 years.
