Several home study schools claim to provide complete voca- tional training. Some offer avocational and hobby courses. Most home study schools are accredited by the NHSC while others have additional accreditation through the Board of Education of the state in which they reside. The main reason for choosing home study is that you can get an education while staying at home. Courses taken through correspondence are usually less difficult than an equivalent college curriculum.
Students can study where and when they want to.
The reason a large percentage of enrollees fail to complete a home study program is because they did not adhere to a time each day in which to study. The cost of home study courses vary depending on the school and the course taken. When you send in the enrollment application, you have a choice of paying the full tuition amount or making monthly payments with a finance charge added, usually at or below the prevailing interest rate. Some employers will reimburse all or part of the tuition cost. So, you should check first before signing any contract.
