Some of the reasons why they remain desirable:

  • They are mostly free: Many online courses are free to take part in. All you have to do is register for the course.
  • Flexible schedule: Online courses are structured so that course participants can cover the course material at their own pace. This makes them favorable for those that are extremely busy or work full time.
  • Diverse content: A variety of platforms allow people with varying interests gain knowledge in their different areas of interest.
  • Flexible platforms: User-friendly platforms that allow easy navigation.
  • Qualifications: Many courses award a certificate of completion when participants complete course content and meet all of the set out course criteria.
