According to a 2009 study by the Department of Education, students taking online courses tend to perform better than their “traditional” peers.

Why is that?

Practice Makes Perfect

You’ve probably heard the term: “Practice Makes Perfect.”

Taking your Grant Management training online provides many “practice” opportunities and benefits that you may not have thought of, for example:

• Demonstrated self-discipline

• Perfected time management

• Improved communication skills

• Greater self-confidence

It’s easy to think of the benefits of mastering new knowledge with training, but we often forget the experience itself increases our mastery of other important skills as well.

Let’s look at these 4 benefits of online learning in more detail:

Benefit #1: Online Learning Demonstrates Self-discipline

Completing distance learning requires self-discipline.

You are the one who makes it happen.

• You have to do more than just show up in the classroom

Each section you complete demonstrates increasing self-discipline to yourself and to others.

Benefit #2: Online Learning Teaches Time Management

Fitting learning into an already busy schedule teaches time management.

Completing the coursework calls for:

• Prioritization of tasks
• Evaluation of current methods
• Strong organizational skills

Benefit #3: Online Learning Improves Communication Skills

Online learning also requires forming articulate, understandable, and clear questions about the subject matter.

• This process also improves your writing skills.

Benefit #4: Improved Self-Confidence

One element of building self-confidence is to identify your successes.

Online learning promotes the ability to think critically, skill in solving problems, performing tasks in a sequential manner, as well as the ability to communicate clearly.

• These skills are highly prized by employers and are often cited as criteria for promotion

As a matter-of-fact, after completing an online learning course you may be surprised at how much more secure and self-confident you feel.

Who’d think a little online course could offer so much?
