Free Online Distance Education

Is there anything like free online distance education? Yes and no. Want to know what I mean? I said yes because it's available online. If you use any of the many search engines out there and conduct a search, you'll discover that there are lots of online institutions offering people like you free online distance education. This means that it does exist. I said no because nothing is free in this world. You have to pay the price before you can get anything good. In other words, there is no free lunch. It must be paid for.

Because of the power of the term 'free', many institutions are using it and luring many people into what they term free online distance education. Many of the institutions doing this are online fraudsters. I believe you know them. They have a way of getting their victims. Many times I have received mails in my Inbox and bulk box offering free online distance education. I don't normally waste time about this. I delete them immediately.

If any school claim to be offering you free online distance education, kindly and politely ask them who will pay for the downloaded materials, the building and maintenance of the website, the online instructors, the certificates etc. Their answers will help you know the type of school they are. The fraudulent will have no answer while the reliable ones will give you good answers.

Once you're sure that somebody somewhere has to pay for everything used in transferring knowledge and skills online, you won't have problem detecting fraudulent free online distance education institutions.
