Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.

Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.

If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.

The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.

It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For live online Business training, we’ve found flexible scheduling options, including weekday, evening, and weekend courses.

Full-time Courses

Also note, one course we’ve found requires a full-time commitment. This course is a “career-changer” course that may span over several months and probably requires 40 or more hours of work per week, whether in the classroom or out-of-class assignments and projects. Courses like these typically require a large financial commitment, although many provide payment plans and financing options.

• Digital Marketing Diploma @ BrainStation, spanning over 12 Weeks for $15,000

Due to changing schedules and uncertainty during COVID-19, we recommend that prospective students confirm course availability directly with the school.

With Business encompassing so many verticals and subtopics, it could be challenging to find what you’re looking for. We’ll help you break down the subcategories and related topics (see the Business topics section) to focus directly on one of the subcategories.

When learning Business, you can attend a course or program that dives comprehensively into Business, provides a brief introduction into Business, or focuses on a particular topic, including Microsoft Office, Project Management, or Digital Marketing.

Focus on a Specific Subtopic within Business

Within Business, you can focus your learning on a specific topic, including Microsoft Office, Project Management, Digital Marketing, Data Analytics, and Finance. Each one of these topics will directly enhance, supplement, or support your learning in Business. To see how each topic relates to Business and to focus your learning on any subcategory, see the subtopics section above.

To find the perfect fit for you, it’s important to determine what your training goals are. Here is a breakdown of the variety of courses and learners.

Comprehensive Learner

For those who are committed to comprehensively understand Business and ready to spend 25 hours to 12 months to master Business, these classes will help achieve that goal.

Career Changer

You’re not only committed to learning Business comprehensively, but you’re hoping and ready to break into a new career. While securing a new career is not guaranteed, these courses provide in-depth training in Business. Many offer job support and some offer a money-back guarantee. Job support typically includes resume writing, help with job applications, portfolio building, and career counseling, but the services vary by provider.

Applications are typically required and many also require remote prework to build essential concepts before the more intensive “live” training. And due to the steep prices (some courses as high as $25,397) many programs provide financing options. See financing notes below but always be sure to confirm with the school and read the terms and conditions. Not all applicants are admitted and approved for financing.

Here are several “career-changer” programs. All the programs include career services (see the provider’s website for details on what is included).

Some benefits of live online Business training include:

• Flexibility to attend from anywhere and eliminate long commutes
• Ability to ask questions and interact with Business experts in real-time
• Instructor’s ability to remote access your screen to troubleshoot any issues
• More frequent scheduling options and lower prices on average than in-person training

While there are several benefits to live online training, there are a few important things to consider. You should make sure you have a quiet workplace with strong internet access. Additionally, you should have the necessary applications installed prior to class and your computer should meet any system requirements. To ensure a seamless learning experience, some schools provide remote setup support and Zoom tutorials upon request prior to the course.

Pricing for Business training varies by school, duration, method of delivery, and several other factors.
