5 Benefits of Distance Learning
1) Affordability
Cost less than going to a face-to-face event. No travel expense incurred.
2) Study in the comfort of your own home or desk
Most of the courses are one-two hours in length. Not a lot of time out of your life.
3) Earn your certificate or Continuing Education credits (PDH)
Quick way to get those course credits for licensing and certification renewals.
4) It is interactive
Most courses have quizzes and online assignments to reinforce learning.
5) Ease and simplicity
If you have a computer with Internet connection you can participate in distance learning with the click of your mouse.
