Should I choose an online course or a physical course?
The choice between online courses and physical courses depends on what suits you best. Online courses provide the flexibility to learn when and where it suits you – perfect for those with a full-time job or unpredictable schedule. Physical courses, on the other hand, provide the opportunity for networking, experience sharing and direct dialogue with the teacher.
Some prefer the flexibility that online courses provide, while others value the personal follow-up in the classroom.
