Posted by admin on June 24th, 2008

Earning your degree online takes anywhere from 12-36 months based on the degree and program you are pursuing, but for people that want to make a quick career change or garner expertise in a few months in another industry, an online diploma or certificate program can be a great alternative.

Online diploma and certificate programs can range from one month to six months in length and be significantly cheaper than a full online degree program. Penn Foster is the premier online school where you can earn a diploma in 2-8 weeks in  fields such as appliance repair, bookkeeping, medical assistant, floral design, programming, IT, plumber, locksmith, teacher aid, web design and more.

Online certificates can be earned in business, health care, IT, accounting, project management, and automotive technician. These programs are offered at University of Phoenix, Keller School of Management, Universal Technical Institute, and Kaplan University.

When looking to change careers or get ahead in your current career, an online diploma or certificate is a great alternative to a taking a complete degree program.
