Until recently, getting a higher education was the only way to master a new profession and improve the necessary skills.

Nowadays everything has changed - in her article, Lectera founder and CEO Mila Semeshkina explains why there is a thirst for training that can be as fast as drinking a cup of coffee on the way to the office, or indeed, heading home.

The bottom line is that people have always wanted to get what they want, but today they expect it instantly. For instance, McDonald's and similar restaurants were the first to realise that residents of the metropolis need fast and inexpensive service. Then an epiphany dawned on clothing manufacturers: what if clothing also becomes simple and affordable, so that even teenagers can easily afford to buy it with their pocket money? Online orders, food and home delivery, all of this has made the pace of life more comfortable and, inevitably, even faster!

The education system is one of the last areas that still resist change. A few years of studying at the University and a breezy life on campus. Once would-be students dreamt of all this. However, the reality today is that a Higher Education has become an unaffordable luxury for almost everyone. It's too costly, and most importantly, it takes too long! That is why today, private training platforms are more responsive to the demand in the field of education because business people know that time is money.

Online courses allow students to learn whilst saving both time and money. Their primary and distinctive advantage is flexibility. Online courses can be added to, updated and upgraded promptly. Mila's new "Fast Education" methodology allows you to create online courses precisely as they are needed today. You can train for just fifteen minutes a day in short blocks. That enables you to return to learning at any time and from anywhere.
