Is Online Engineering Course worth it?
The course may be worthwhile for a student who will benefit from sustained individual attention and a curriculum built around specific interests or academic goals. Flexible timing also makes it easier to fit substantial subject study around school commitments.
The main limitation is value: one-to-one tuition is expensive, and practical engineering work is limited to experiments that can be completed safely at home. Families should decide whether personalised tutoring offers enough benefit over lower-cost group or self-directed study.
