With the popularity of learning platforms such as Udemy, Coursera, and more you can now learn anything subject or topic from Accounting to Zoology without ever needing to leave the comfort of your home or office or attend classes in person. This distance learning model creates flexibility and freedom with how you spend your time. However the standard of learning when it comes to remote learning is found to be lower than face-to-face learning according to a study by BMC Medical Education. Findings of this study revealed that the performance of students utilising distance tutorials was lower than that of students participating in the conventional face-to-face approach. This is why live e-learning, such as 4uture Skillx, is the perfect balance between remote learning and face-to-face learning.

Universities, colleges, institutions and companies that provide remote learning offer courses that are suitable for many different people with varying educational backgrounds and academic levels. For example, there are courses from experts online just sharing their knowledge all the way to fully accredited programmes. The entry requirements for these courses can be as low as having no knowledge or at least a basic understanding and for most accredited courses the requirements can be having completed Grade 10 or Grade 12 or prior tertiary learning and experience.
