Choosing a course is a big decision, so ask questions first. A good institute will not mind. Start by asking who offers the qualification and whether it is registered on the NQF.
Ask how you will be assessed, how long you have to finish and what support you get when you struggle. Find out if the lessons work on a phone with low data.

Questions about the course
Is the qualification registered with SAQA, and at which NQF level? How many hours a week will you need? Can you see a sample lesson first? Good institutes answer these plainly and in writing.
Questions about the cost
What is the total fee, and are there extra costs for exams or certificates? Can you pay in instalments? Get the answers before you sign, and keep a copy of the agreement.
