What Do You Need In Order to Start an Online Course?
While universities and colleges have strict requirements for accepting students into their courses, online education providers do not! In fact, most online courses require nothing more from you than:
- A stable internet connection
- A computer to work on
More advanced courses might require you to have previous knowledge of certain fundamental skills. But, this is just so that they can be sure you will understand the content of the course.
While researching online courses that interest you, make sure you check if any previous skills are required. It is a requirement for a reason—you might not be able to actually complete the course without it.
The most important requirement for an online course is that you are interested and driven to complete the course. Without complete commitment, it can be really easy to let your studies fall by the wayside.
How Are Free Online Courses Different from Tertiary Education?
Similarities
1. Free online courses are typically developed by professional institutions, universities, and lecturers – just like traditional tertiary education.
2. All official online courses appeal to international and industry standards, so these courses offer comparable qualifications to universities/colleges.
3. Courses are available in various disciplines, from computer science to photography.
Differences
1. Free online courses require distance learning as they usually do not have campus or formal classes.
2. There are no strict admission requirements for most courses – anyone can study something they are interested in!
3. Universities and colleges award you proof of your qualification by means of a certificate or degree. However, online courses often ask you to pay for the final certificate to prove that you’ve finished the course.
