There is a myriad of motivations why hundreds of thousands of people across the globe are choosing to complete their qualifications online/remotely. Here are five reasons why distance learning online is a smart life choice:
You can study anywhere, anytime
Really think about this for a second. This means the freedom to study wherever you please, as long as there’s decent connectivity. You could listen to a lecture while cycling in the south of France, working on a yacht in the Caribbean, or interning at a lodge somewhere in the heart of Africa’s bushveld. You could also just pop into a quirky coffee shop down the street from where you live. You decide.
You can learn while you earn
Many of us can’t afford to study unless we’re earning an income simultaneously. The convenience of online studying means that it can slot into your existing responsibilities. Your employer may also consider sponsoring your studies as part of your development plan.
You can cut some major costs
Distance learning lets you live at home, which could eliminate the extra expenses you’d normally pay for accommodation, meals, transport, and more. Additionally, DaVinci Business School does not have a compulsory textbook list, so you will not have any additional expenses for textbooks. Plus, the programme itself may be cheaper than traditional non-online alternatives.
You can access relevant content
Traditional tertiary institutions can find it a little tricky to keep up with the evolving demands of the work environment in Industry 4.0. Online comes with the benefit of agility. Course content can be rapidly revised to reflect current “real-world” case studies and the latest in global research. Plus, DaVinci Business School offers programmes aligned to industry needs, facilitated by industry experts, so you are assured that your programme will focus on knowledge and skills that are instantly applicable to meet the demand in the world right now – and in the future.
You can gain the soft skills you need to succeed
Creativity. Critical thinking. Empathy. Collaboration. These are all skills that’ll stand you in good stead in the world of tomorrow. And, they’re all skills you’ll learn through collaborative group work assignments as part of your online learning experience. Choosing distance learning means that you have the chance to interact with students from all over the world, which will also instil the ability to respectfully navigate cross-cultural differences. A critical capability in a time of globalisation. For more information on our accredited programmes, click here.
