  • Are the course start and end dates and times going to suit your calendar? Will you be around over holidays? Will it interfere with any schoolwork, employment, or other commitments?
  • Is the length of time it’ll take to complete the course realistic?
  • Do you know long you’ll have access to the course for?
  • Location – make sure you’ll be able to get there if required, or you have internet access and relevant technology if it’s online.
  • Cost – how much will it cost and how will you pay for it?
