You can submit assignments and give tests online, what could be more convenient than this? Online courses have brought the entire classroom to us. You can study as per your convenience without even having to go for evening or weekend classes.
Online courses are mostly designed for and around professionals. Although, students also pursue online courses, but mostly working professionals who want to enhance their knowledge and skills opt for online certification courses. These courses vary from a few hours to a few weeks, but are usually short-term in nature. Most online courses do offer a certificate of participation or completion to reward the students. These certifications work as proof that one has attended and successfully completed the course and help the professionals apply for better promotions and jobs.
These certificate courses are run by universities and institutes as well as specialists such as trainers, language experts, teachers or professors, IT experts, and so on. They usually cover a specific topic or a subject and are more specialized in nature than diploma programs. For example, an online training course, maybe covering a specific topic like counseling teenagers dealing with drug abuse or online marketing or a specific period/era in history. The subjects, streams and topics vary and one can find all sorts of online courses on the web. Several foreign universities and experts also offer online courses to reach a global crowd. So you can learn history from an expert historian sitting in the States or Italy or anywhere else in the world.
