Doing a course on your phone is possible, even with a busy home. Choose a quiet time, like after supper or early in the morning, and keep to it every day.
Set a small goal for each week, such as two lessons. Tick them off on paper. Tell a friend about your goal so someone can check on you.
It always seems impossible until it is done. Nelson MandelaIf a lesson is hard, watch it again or message our support team on WhatsApp. Learners at Ekasi Learn Hub finish more courses when they ask for help early. Celebrate each certificate you earn.
Keep your data use low
Download lessons while you are on Wi-Fi at the library or the hub, then watch them later offline. Turn off video quality you do not need. Close other apps so your phone battery and your data last through the whole lesson.
Finish what you start
Study a little every day instead of a lot on one day. Keep notes in a book, and write down one thing you can use tomorrow. Small steps add up to a certificate.
