Are you also a fan of this mode of learning? We know right! Everyone today is. Before Covid, no one thought online courses plus online classes would have this much power. Attending classes over the screen was never a concept before. However, a few years before the pandemic hit us, this concept of taking courses online came into the existence and we’ve never seen students this happy. From requesting your friend to take my online course for me in times of emergency to studying from the comfort of your home, online courses are all about flexibility and acquiring skills at the same time.

In the following shred of this article, we have reviews from the top ten online course takers. All of these students have more than 35 online course certificates. Some of them explored this area during the pandemic and some were au fait already before. All of these students are still on the journey of expanding their skillset and continue to take more online courses.

So, without any further delay, let’s see what platform these students use and what all they have got their hands on.

So after my matriculation, I had to take a gap year but still don’t want to waste my time. Therefore, I planned to take a few related to my field courses from Coursera. At first, it took me a while to have a grip on the curriculum but the expert teachers made sure I am understanding everything. They offered me extra support without asking for extra charges and I believe it is the best an instructor can do for their students.

They were also considerate enough that I stay on track and therefore used to remind me within a week if I missed my class. My early courses from Coursera were all about math and algebra as I always dreamt to do my major in the same field, however, couldn’t! But I must say the courses were the best. They didn’t only help me understand the complex concepts better but also gave a kick start to my career. I am really grateful for this online course platform.

During my winter holidays three years back, I and my photography lover friends decided to take photography courses from Udemy and Coursera. At first, we were reluctant because of considerably high charges as a nearby local academy was charging much less, still, we went for Coursera first, and Oh boy!

The guidance they provide cannot be provided by anyone else. We also had a few friends who couldn’t afford it and therefore went with the local academy but in the end, there was a significant difference in both results. Though our course was pricey but definitely worth all the price. Our directions, angles, hues, etc. everything were so professional in the end that all of us soon found jobs in photography agencies, and today, we have our own start-up, BARISHY CLICKS. Just because of this one right decision of taking an online course, we are now one of the most popular photographers in Halifax.

If you are choosing the right and well-known platform, the benefits are surreal. We never thought we’ll end up being a photographer and will pursue this field as a career as we all by degrees are software engineers. Just one right turn and ta-da!

I am an IT graduate from the University of Wollongong and was working as a product manager in a Software company. The field was my own choice but in a very short time, all my interest was in vain, and wanted to switch my career. Since starting all over was not easy, and I was really looking forward to becoming an AI professional, I decided to give edX courses ago. Started with the beginner course and 2 years later, I was on the AI course for professionals. The journey was excellent due to the outstanding AI experts they have hired.

I appreciate how It gave me the liberty to take my course at my own pace and was never bound to submit my assignments on the eleventh hour. The facility of learning wherever and whenever I want to be made it easy for me to complete all my assignments on time. I used to work a bit on my projects every day. Therefore, in end, I either just had to edit and proofread my article or I was done submitting my work before the cutoff date.

I wanted to polish my creative writing knack but I couldn’t find any institute near my locality. One of my friends who is also a creative content writer introduced me to try Skillshare’s courses as she has a friend who took an online certification course from the same and is currently working at a good content writing company.

Following the recommendation, I enrolled myself as well and I must say it was one of my best decisions, why? Because what I knew earlier was not even the 10% of content writing. There was a lot more that I got to explore. Taking the benefit of this course, I learned the skills and started working as a freelance content writer at Upwork.

The very first day I added my gig, I got an order of $300, which I again invested in a professional-level online content writing course, and today I have my own content writing agency. I never knew an online course can bring so much. What about you?

Conclusion

You see how students are taking advantage of this facility. It is indeed best for people who want to acquire some extra skills apart from their degrees. We even know many stay-at-home mommies who are fans of online courses and are taking them simultaneously with their busy routines. So, what is your excuse for not enrolling in one? Try it once and see the benefits. Also, unlike brick and mortar courses, you have the option to ask friends or siblings to do my online course for me if you find it hard to maintain your routine. Make a schedule first and then continue taking your online course classes. There is no big deal!
