What should I actually look for before paying for an online course so I don't regret it later?

ONSA's Answer

That's not overthinking, Sowmya — it's exactly the right question to ask before paying anyone online. Ask directly what happens if you have a doubt after joining — who you'd reach, and how quickly. Look for numbers you can check yourself rather than ones only stated on their own page — real reviews, an actual track record. And notice how they handle you before you've paid anything — a course confident in what it delivers will answer questions plainly and won't rush you. If something feels vague or hurried, that feeling is worth listening to.
