Official Courses vs. Official Studies — Is It What You Need?
It’s important not to confuse them. Official Studies (such as a University Degree or Vocational Training) are long programs, lasting from 1 to 4+ years, and they are the only ones that provide the legal authorization to practice a regulated profession.
On the other hand, an Official Course (endorsed by an organization) is a short training program, lasting weeks or months. Its purpose is to complement or update your studies, but it does not give you the authority or legal qualification to work officially on its own.
