Estimated time: 30–60 minutesUpdated: 28 September 2026

Use this guide when you are comparing online courses for a new skill, a career change or personal interest. Have your goal, a rough weekly time budget and any spending limit in mind.

Step by step

  1. Define why you want the course

    Write down what you want to be able to do by the end, such as build a spreadsheet budget or pass a recognised qualification. Decide whether you need a formal certificate or just the skill. This rules many courses in or out quickly.
