Live, not recorded — and why that is the whole argument
There is an enormous amount of pre-recorded course content available, much of it free and some of it excellent. If recorded video were sufficient, nobody would need us.
What recordings cannot do is notice that you have misunderstood something. The most valuable minutes in a technical course are the ones where a learner asks a slightly wrong question and a trainer works out which underlying misconception produced it. That exchange is the product. It requires a person who is present.
What is identical to the classroom batch
- The trainer — the same people teach both formats
- The syllabus, module for module
- The projects and their deliverables
- The review standard applied to your work
- The certificate
What is genuinely different
You need a reliable connection and a machine that can run the tools — for most of our courses that is any laptop with 8GB of RAM. You lose the informal part of a classroom, the conversations between sessions with people learning the same thing, which is a real loss and worth weighing.
You gain the commute. For learners outside East Delhi that is often two hours a day, which is more practice time than most people manage in a week.
Who should choose classroom instead
If you already know you learn better with people around you, or you have tried self-paced online material before and not finished it, the classroom batch is the better bet. Our centre is in Shakarpur, next to Laxmi Nagar, and the classroom batches fill up faster for exactly this reason.
