5 reasons to choose an online course instead of classroom course

It’s cheaper

Classroom-based courses in Darlington are normally much more expensive than their online counterparts because they involve additional overheads, like a tutor and a venue. These additional features contribute to the cost of the courses, and the extra expense is passed onto you, the consumer. Furthermore, if you fail a class-based course exam, you may need to pay more to be retested. But with our online courses, you’re able to re-sit exams as many times as desired, at no extra charge.

It’s more convenient and flexible

What could possibly be easier than taking a course at a time that suits you, day or night? With an online course you can complete the learning and the exam entirely in your own time. Training can be done in bite sizechunks or in one fell swoop. The choice is yours. Classroom courses on the other hand must be completed at a set time, in a particular venue in Darlington, which may not be quite as easy to attend.

It’s safer

As we come out of a pandemic, and with Covid still looming in the air, the nation has become accustomed to online services more than ever before. Online food hygiene safety courses can be completed entirely from the safety of your home, while classroom courses in Darlington naturally mean going out and mixing with new social circles.

It’s more environmentally friendly

Travelling to a classroom-based food hygiene course in Darlington no doubt involves travelling in a car or using public transport. The most eco-friendly method of all is the one which doesn’t involve any transport whatsoever – doing your course online.

You get all the benefits

With online training, some people assume that they will get stuck and won’t have support if they need to ask a question. Our expert support team is always on-hand to help students. Students can phone us up, or send us an email. We’ll happily answer supporting you in any way we can. also, all our courses are fully accredited, so candidates also amass the same CPD points and a certificate as if it was a classroom-based course in Darlington.
