There is no doubt that a new career can change your life, especially if it offers flexibility and, of course, a larger salary. So, what’s holding you back? Do you have full-time responsibilities that limit your free time to learn a new skill? If so, like most of us you’re not alone. Many full-time parents and workers find it difficult to break away from their normal routines. They continue working jobs they don’t like even though they know it will not get them anywhere. The recent Covid-19 situation has highlighted to many people how their employers really feel about their employees. Many people have discovered that they are not valued and are easily replaceable.

So how do you get out of this cycle and start a new career? Well, many people have turned to online courses for many different reasons.

Extremely flexible 

Online learning is one of the most flexible educational paths that anyone can take. With so many options online, you can work and/or parent full-time and still learn new skills. Students usually receive lifetime access or at least one year’s access, this is usually more than enough time to study the course in-depth. The student also has great flexibility in their study method as they can study from the comfort of their own home but they also have the freedom of studying on the go. Many people take advantage of this and learn new skills while commuting to work on the train, in their lunch breaks and any other spare time they have.

In this day and age, everyone is extremely busy with little free time, online learning is a great solution to this as it can fit around your schedule.

Affordable

Have you been trying to figure out how to become a mortgage advisor with a limited budget? Well, it may seem impossible but it’s really not. Online courses such as mortgage advisor courses can be affordable and comparing the same online course to a classroom course can save you thousands of pounds. Online training to prepare for the CeMAP qualification exam can be as cheap as just £99.

The affordability of online courses has helped every industry to grow and it’s a common misconception that online learning is expensive. There are some courses that start from just £10 and hundreds of others that are completely free.

Options

Many people believe that there are only a few similar online courses available for a limited number of career options, this simply is not the case. There are hundreds of different courses available for various types of careers in the UK. The options are almost endless with basic courses like Microsoft Office training to more advanced such as; Programming, Website building, Mortgage Advisor, Accounting, Beauty, Hairdressing. There is a course out there for everyone.

Your future is waiting

The current situation in the UK is scary and many people are still furloughed or, even worse, have been made redundant due to the crisis. It’s an unprecedented situation but there are individuals out there that have changed their lives completely due to the crisis. Many people have started new careers due to the COVID-19 pandemic after losing their previous jobs. It’s important to remember that there’s never a great time to change careers as there will always be something holding us back but without taking that leap we’ll be stuck in the same place we were forever.
