by Prerna Mehta Classes of Professional Studies

Would you say no to add extra skills if it promises to deliver success in your career? Pursuing a short term course may be the key to a successful personal and professional life. The subject of a short term course may differ to the regular curriculum that you studied in the past but it may be close to your heart. 

 

Short term courses are gaining much popularity among individuals who wish to get practical training in a short period. Unlike regular courses which demand more focus, time and money out of their pockets. 

 

Why take a short term course? 

 

After been exposed to the possibilities of enhancing your education with short term courses, let us take a closer look at what they have to offer and why you should be enrolled in such a programme:

 

1.   If you are interested in pursuing a field other than the one you studied in school or college. The huge advantage of short courses is that they deliver practical knowledge in various fields. Regardless of what you practised earlier, you can anytime take up a short course to add skills to make a career in the new line of work. You can access the kind of knowledge that requires you to turn your hobby into paying occupation. 

2.   If you are short on money and time. That means short courses might be the best choice for you. These courses are highly realistic so that you can specialize in your area of interest, without the need for a big investment. Developing skills in a new field can last longer and cost less money than the university curriculum. 

3.   If you work in the field of interdisciplinary practice. You may have learned a specific topic, but now the company you work for is specialized in a field where many disciplines interrelate. Nowadays this is extremely probable. Let's take an engineering company with its marketing department for example. When you're taking a digital marketing course, you'll feel more competent in your department.

4.   If you want to add a new element in your resume. Short term courses in Delhi let you add extra academic activity into your CV. This comes handy if you are looking for a new job.

5.   If you want to indulge in your spare time. While courses do not necessarily sound like fun activities for your spare time, they typically include tours, outdoor workshops, etc.  Nonetheless, this is a convenient way to spend your holidays in the most productive way possible.

 

Advantages of Short Term Courses

 

We should choose a short-term course which will enhance our abilities and give our existing career strong support. For example, a person in the accounting field would then be able to get the full benefit of a short term course if he/she takes any other computer courses relevant to accounting such as Tally/Accounting & GST course. Likewise, those who are into teaching, similar courses in the teaching field will help them gain more. The students gain most from short-term computer courses, such as digital marketing classes, calligraphy classes, Foreign language courses ( German Language Course, Spanish  Language, French language ) or spoken English classes.

 

Short Term Courses Eligibility

 

People with graduation or +2 level of education can pursue short term courses. You can even do some short-term courses without any previous qualifications in the field you are interested in. 

 

Duration of Short Term Courses

 

There are commonly two types of short term courses: 

 

1.   Academic short term courses

2.   Non-academic short term courses

 

These courses primarily enable us to increase the standard of educational qualifications. These courses are also referred to as Certificate courses, which can be completed by universities or various short term institutes in Delhi

 

The length of these courses depends on the programme's curriculum, workload and intent. You may find short lessons that are one week long on the fundamentals of a computer system, such as summer classes, introductory workshops, or certificate programmes. However, they typically last a month to three months. 

 

Conclusion

 

Short-term courses help us develop our abilities and help us learn more. Despite wasting our spare time, to sustain our educational qualifications, we should undertake each short-term course. Not only can we gain information through this, but we can also refresh our mind by meeting different people during our learning journey.
