TL;DR

Don’t have time to read the whole piece? No problem. Check out our key thoughts below:

  • Online learning provides flexible, self-paced options that allow you to receive a quality training experience without putting your life on hold.
  • Even those who struggle to determine what they want to do in life can find a rewarding career simply by choosing from any of our career paths.
  • Our goal is to help bridge the gap between your learning experience and the career you’re looking for.

Why Online Learning?

Online learning is a wonderful option for anyone looking to restart, revamp, or redirect their career. It’s a faster, cheaper alternative to traditional education.

While the average student debt from four-year public schools is upward of $26,900 and college tuition has risen by 213% in the past few decades, online career training courses cost much less. At CareerStep, our courses range from $199 to $3,999 — and that price includes everything you’ll need: full access, course materials, Learner support, and more.

A major advantage of online learning is the ability to fit your training into your daily routine instead of turning your entire life upside down. You can learn wherever, whenever, and at whatever pace you choose. You can even fulfill family responsibilities and continue to work part- or full-time while you train for your next opportunity.

The best part? Our skills-based training programs are incredibly thorough and much faster than traditional education. How much faster? We’re talking months, not 2–6 years.

Because when you’re out of work or hunting for a better job, time is of the essence. If you want to get trained, certified, and working — sooner rather than later — we can help.
