Global survey and studies shows that students after completing higher education agencies about 20 percent of all students after completing secondary school (high school) successfully, opt for a short term course which are more subject related and domain specific, this is also a fact for student who complete higher secondary education also prefer to opt for vocations and short term training and certification courses rather than a traditional academic certification program. Higher education seems to be hopelessly compartmentalized into colleges and Short term courses in vocational schools.

 

SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT CAN ARISE WITH SHORT TERM COURSES / VOCATIONAL COURSES

ADVANTAGE : Are you thinking of joining some vocational course that could give you a living but are not sure about vocational schools?
Considering this as a YES for you then  you should be aware that A vocational school or a trade school will provide you job-specific training for some domain specific industry. This can make you eligible to be employed in a industry to work as a skilled labor.
Vocational or short terms course are best for you if you are looking for a specific skill necessary for a skilled labor job and not just theoretical bookish knowledge

 

DISADVANTAGE Limiting the horizon of the skill too early in life, generally job oriented short terms courses and vocational training are opted by students who want to start earning at an early life due to paltry economic condition of the family where a family member contributes in running a family.

 

Advantage a tradition courses which has a its duration and time for it to be completed with lot redundant knowledge being imparted to the student. On the contrary with short term and vocational courses a student can start earning much earlier as compared to earning which starts after completion of traditional educations and graduating at times post graduating before you actually start earning. More practical experience are gained when u actually start working ...this at times can be a debatable subject with pros and cons but depends what you want to be and what is your mission in life....
