How to choose a course that fits your next step

A course should help you move towards a clear goal. Before you apply, take time to understand what you want to learn and how you will use it.

Start with your goal

Write one sentence explaining what you want to achieve. You might want to improve a workplace skill, prepare for further study or build knowledge for a business idea.

Compare the course information

Read the course outline, entry requirements, duration and available study modes. Check whether the activities match your current knowledge and the time you have available.

Check the full cost

Ask what tuition covers and whether registration, application, examination or other fees apply. Keep a copy of the information you receive.

Ask before paying

If something is unclear, contact Hovia. Confirm availability and the next steps before you make a payment.
