To most people, the idea of something valuable being given away completely free of charge is too good to be true. Not that products and services aren’t frequently touted as free, but there are usually way too many few strings attached. Which is precisely why it is natural to be sceptical when it comes to the idea of free distance learning programs.
After all, what’s to gain on the business end of the deal?
A Growing Trend
Carry out a quick web search and it becomes immediately apparent that free online education is a big deal these days. There are hundreds of providers offering access to thousands of different courses, covering pretty much every subject and specialism imaginable. Here at Oxford Home Study College, we likewise recently introduced our own range of outstanding-quality free distance learning programs.
All over the world, adults of all ages are proactively pursuing further education as a means by which to boast their career prospects, improve their knowledge in subjects of interest and discover exciting new topics. One of the biggest concerns shared among those considering returning to their education is the cost of doing so. This is of course anything but surprising, when taking into account the prices of certain distance learning programs offered by leading colleges and universities. As a result, interest in free online study courses is accelerating at record-pace – demand that is being catered to by a growing number of online colleges.
The only difference being that when you study with us, there is absolutely no catch whatsoever.
When Free Isn’t Free
Instinct might tell you that most offers of free courses are too good to be true…instinct would also be quite right. More often than not, when you enroll on a free distance learning course with a popular provider, you quickly learn that you will in fact face costs prior to completion. It could be that professional marking of your assessments is not included for free, the course materials required to complete the course must be purchased, tutor support comes at an additional cost or you have no choice but to pay the provider to receive a certificate of completion.
In all such cases, free really isn’t free at all.
It’s not to say that you might not get solid value for money out of the deal, but still…free really isn’t most appropriate word. Which is why its crucially important to familiarize yourself with all applicable terms, conditions and clauses, before even thinking about signing up for a free course.
