Our journey at Beacon Education, from a bricks and mortar education company delivering in person to learners all over the United Kingdom – to an online learning specialist really turned the tables on our staff – we went from being teachers to being the students. We had to figure out what makes a really good online learning experience and how that differs from our usual classroom delivery.
Along the way we learnt some valuable tips for what to look for when searching for high quality online learning courses.
Courses should lead to a REAL qualification.
Unfortunately, most of the online courses out there today do not actually lead to a recognised qualification. Sure, you get a shiny certificate at the end, but when it comes time to showing an employer or trying to get into university, unless the qualification is regulated, it isn’t going to count for much.
