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?\n\nAsk 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.\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.\n\n<cite>Nelson Mandela<\/cite><\/blockquote>\nFinally, read the refund and certificate terms carefully. A good school is happy to explain them. If you get vague answers, rather keep looking.
