Hi everyone! I've been searching for an online course in children's services and have found a huge range of prices -- anywhere from $500 to $2000+ -- and I'm wondering if anyone knows why there's such a large discrepancy. For instance: I just found Liv Early Childhood, which offers the course for $600, and I got an e-mail from Inspire Education offering it "on sale" for $1100.
Obviously, I'd prefer to go with the cheaper option, but the range makes me think that cheaper might not be better. Are some institutions not recognized by employers, or are they not held in high regard? Would choosing the more expensive options lead to a higher chance of employment? Or is it a matter of not having the same level of support, or something?
I'm nervous about spending money on a course and not getting employed afterward, but obviously I want to get a quality education as well. Any insight would be appreciated!
Also, if anyone has any recommendations for a good course provider I'd love to hear about them. I'm finding it difficult to pick one--there are so many different options.
