How to Choose the Best Online School for Certification Training

All sorts of jobs require certification for advancement and job retention. There are multiple ways to get the necessary certifications. Our preferred method is through online certification training. But for that, you need a school that fits your budget, needs, and lifestyle.

How do you choose the best online accredited school for certification training? Make sure they are accredited, this should be your first priority. The starting point is the kind of certification you are after. ProTrain offers certification courses in a number of fields including hospitality, healthcare, technology and computers, human resources, information security, energy, and even cannabis and top courses like AutoCAD, CompTIA, PMP Project Management, Pharmacy Technician, Medical Billing and Coding and so many other course options.

Once you know what courses you want, it is time to create a short list of accredited schools. From there you can figure out your best choice. Here is our position: we are the best online school for most students whose career paths involve the information our courses cover.

As a student, what is important to you?

Your choice to undergo certification training is a choice to better yourself. It is a choice to move your career forward in a way that fits nicely with your current lifestyle and needs. So, when you search for the best online school, ask yourself what is important.

You might feel that you only want to take courses from a nationally accredited school. ProTrain has that angle covered. We are nationally accredited. Are you worried about affordability? We have addressed that as well.

All our courses are designed to be as affordable as possible. Furthermore, we make covering your expenses easy enough to fit in with your budget. We offer zero interest, no credit check payment plans and if you are eligible for military scholarships, we can help you find and apply for them.

What are your thoughts on course content?

Course content plays a huge role in the effectiveness of an online certification course. If content does not match what you need to learn, it does you no good. Once again, ProTrain has you covered.

We create 95% of our content that matches national exams and certifications. New content is only created after we have thoroughly investigated what students need to learn to be relevant in their industries. And because we put so much time and effort into content, we are fully invested in our students’ success.

That investment carries forward through an additional list of services we offer, whether you are taking self paced and added the mentor season pass option to be able to speak with instructor during your self paced course, or taking one of their Live Online Options as well as in-classroom options around the country. Other services include regular check-ins with students, job search assistance, mock job interviews, and resume reviews. We even offer our students access to academic advice from a qualified Student Services team.

Are you concerned about time commitments?

For some of our students, time is the biggest thing. They want nothing more than the opportunity to move their own careers forward with certification training. But because they are already working, the amount of time they need to put into training is limited.

ProTrain considers the time issue whenever we put together a new course. Many of our certification courses are structured as self-paced courses students can access 24/7. A typical self-paced course would offer content available for 12 months. During that time, the student can log on and complete coursework whenever it is convenient for them.

We also offer online mentored courses that combine the self-paced model with access to mentors and community support. Students get the best of both worlds in a package that is still convenient for them.
