Online Industry Association Classes and Ongoing Education

Need an industry degree or two to comply with regulations and on-going education? Well, you are not alone. In fact, in the last decade on-going education has increased in nearly every industry and it is required for those who wish to keep their licenses in full force.

Failure to complete your on-going education in many industries results in your license being yanked in your state or by the Federal Government. Some say this is a good thing to protect the integrity of the industry and consumer trust, others decry it as busy work hurting productivity and stifling efficiency.

No matter how you feel about, that is the way it is and many of these on-going education classes are not cheap either, some cost over $250 if you include the mandatory testing that is required a test facility to prevent cheating, yes cheating, just like in school.

However, many companies off online classes, where you forgo the binder and text book and instead study online. An online on-going education course and some of these are only $35.00 which includes the certificate once you pass.

Why are online on-going education classes so inexpensive? Well, there is a lot of cost savings for the school if they can administer it all online, and they also save printing costs to put the binder together and the class materials. Plus they save some $10-15 in postage as well. See the difference from the schools point of view.

Many would call this a win/win situation, so if you have required on-going education requirements to keep your state license, then be sure to ask about the online programs and discounts. You'll be glad you did.
