Coding Boot Camps and the Payment Options Available

Introduction

To learn a new skill you need to invest your time, effort, and money. But when it comes to money one gets cautioned about its worth and keeps looking for customised and feasible paying options. With the abundance of courses in the market on the same domains, it becomes a tough nut to crack as to which course is suitable for you, whether the course content is apt and the fee demanded matches with the quantity of content offered or not. And these are some very obvious demands of being a consumer.

Now, the edutech closely observes their target audience and keeps coming with lucrative deals and offers to woo their customers. But one needs to be alert of these fish traps while making a firm decision. One needs to be aware of the current market trends, deals offered by other competitors for knowledge on the same content, and many other factors like these.

So before moving ahead and discussing what are the probable paying options these days, let us see the points one needs to focus on before choosing a course.

How to choose a course?

Whether it’s an online course or an offline course, few factors determine its authenticity and one needs to keep those factors in mind while choosing one. So let us see these factors-:

• What’s the need? One must always try to search for a couple of reasons why he/she needs to do a course in a certain domain. What skills they want to gain, what benefits they will have post-completion. One must also look for the reason why they desire to have those skills, what importance do they hold, why is it relevant today, and how they link them with the in-market demands. A skill/hobby need not always be for professional upskilling sometimes it might be for personal growth interests as well.

• What’s exciting about it? So after exploring the need to gain a skill, you need to check out what’s exciting about it and what are the probable prospects which when received will make learning more exciting. So now know what exactly you require in course content.

• What should be the mode? This indicates your comfort level and feasibility. How will you be able to learn, whether the surroundings be more favourable to you? I suppose the learning center is in your vicinity i.e in the same city and commute to that place is possible, easy, less time-taking, and budget-friendly, then an offline mode will be more feasible for you. However, if you are getting good quality content with much less hassle, then what’s stopping you to leave your cozy corner and learn.

• Reality check-: By a reality check I mean that you need to figure out whether the course fee is affordable for you, it is not putting an unnecessary burden on your finances. Further, if it’s offline, then it is feasible for you to both learn and manage your other tasks as well. In both cases, our goal should be that learning does not suffer.

• Thorough Research-: Now that you know what you need to learn, you should do thorough research on the various courses available in the market. Check out the various courses offered online or offline, whichever mode suits you. Then prepare a list, or bookmark the courses you liked depending upon the course content, fees, or time duration. Before you land upon a course and choose it as the final selection, make sure you compare it with the other course offering websites so that you can get the best out of the lot.

• Career Prospects-: If suppose you are upskilling yourself to get a job then you must briefly research the probable careers you can step in if you have that particular skill. You must briefly explore the salary prospects, certification needed, prospects of the jobs, and other benefits and advantages.

• Focus on the details-: If you have chosen a course and you wish to pay the fee then you need to make sure you are aware of the contents promised by the educator or the edutech portal from where you are supposed to buy the course. Try to watch an introductory video on the same to get much clearance.

• Narrow down choices-: After you have gone through several websites and e-learning portals, you need to chalk out a few of them otherwise you will be confused about having too many options to choose from.

• You can always change your mind-: Always remember, that it is not the end of the world, you will always have alternatives to choose from. Even if you have made a wrong choice, you can either drop the course and search for a new one or even ask for a refund as many portals offer a refund if you withdraw in the initial days of starting with the course.

So now you know about the key points you need to look out for while choosing a course.

Payment Options 

Now let us see the various payment options that the edutech portals offer in the market.

• One-Time Payment-: Many edutech websites require their customers to pay the complete fee before the start of the course, this type of payment is called one-time. If the course is online so only after payment, the user gets access to the complete course. Or if the mode is offline, you can only attend the class after full payment.

• Payment on Installment-: Some edutech allow the users ease of payment by offering payment in installments. However, the rate is fixed by them and the user is required to pay at least the set amount every month. 

• Payment after trial-: Few organisations give you a chance to experience their teaching style and how they deliver and then decide whether you want to purchase the course if it suits you. This is yet another lucrative method to hold the traffic on the site and the rest part is done by their user executive team.

• Refund/Moneyback policy-: Many organisations give this lucrative money-back deal to woo the traffic. What they do in this, that once you register for the course, and you pay the fees, you will be given access to the course. However, after joining you realise that the course content and delivery are not meeting your requirements you can ask for a refund. But you need to be careful about this policy and need to go through the terms and conditions of the edutech portal before you. Why? Because this is a very fussy procedure as most organisations do not return the money and create chaos, then sometimes they state that the money-back policy days are over. So you need to be careful of this.

• Payment after course completion-: This type of offer is extremely rare to find. Mostly the educational websites/institutes ask you to deposit half of the fee before the commencement of the classes and then you can keep paying it off. This need not match with the installment feature, it is something different. You can pay the remaining money at a later period but before the end of the course. Otherwise, in many cases, you are not entitled to certificates that hold great importance.

• Payment after Placement-: This is something very new that has come up but many organisations have boldly adopted it. It is a very lucrative offer and at the same time risky as well. In this, you are taught everything that you had applied for, but you don’t need to pay the fees before. Instead, you need to sign some documents where you agree to pay back the organization when you get a job. The institute undoubtedly assists you till you get a job and then once you land with an offer, the fees start getting deducted in the form of monthly installments from your salary. Until you finish paying the fee, you are in the clause with the organization.

• Scholarships-: Many institutes offer scholarships to students based on certain factors. Either they conduct online tests and those who emerge toppers are given either free access to the course i.e full scholarship or partly access meaning, they have to pay 50% fees. Some institutes offer scholarships based on the marks of the students either in class 10th, 12th, JEE, or on other bases.

• Other discounts-: To lure more buyers, many organisations offer some first come first serve discounts and other seasonal offs or festival discounts.
