Before you sign up for anything, make a short list of questions. Who teaches the course, and what is their experience? How many hours a week will it take? What happens if you fall behind or need to pause?
Ask to see a sample lesson. You will quickly tell if the teaching style suits you. Also check whether the course gives you work you can put in a portfolio or show in an interview.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson MandelaFinally, read the refund and certificate terms carefully. A good school is happy to explain them. If you get vague answers, rather keep looking. Your time and money are too valuable to spend on a course that does not fit.
Learn faster by teaching others
Explain what you learnt to a friend, a child or a colleague in your own words. If you get stuck, you have found the part to revise. This simple trick works better than reading the same page three times, and it makes the lesson stick for months.
Rest is part of studying
Short sessions with breaks work better than long, tired ones. Sleep well before a big task, drink water and step outside for a few minutes. Your memory does a lot of its work while you rest, so give it the chance.
