What’s the difference between YouTube channels, free courses, and Syntax?
There is certainly no shortage of avenues available for you as you decide upon acquiring skills within a particular IT domain. However, not every path is productive. Talking about YouTube channels; these channels have content on practically every arena of human life. However, a major drawback of acquiring knowledge from these channels is the requirement to validate the credibility of the information being circulated, the need to be highly disciplined in making use of this self-learning path as well as the absence of credible authority for clarifying doubts and answering queries.
On much the same note, while free courses can sound attractive simply because they are free; however, they often do not provide you with a recognized qualification through a credible certification process. Moreover, they are generally self-paced and require you to be extra consistent and disciplined for achieving something worthwhile through the course.
Syntax Technologies on the other hand, tries to be affordable and offers reasonable payment plans for everyone. Moreover, the second part of our payment plan is only taken after our students find a job. Moreover, the progression of our course curriculum is closely monitored by seasoned tutors who are consistently available to clear all your doubts and answer all your queries. We do provide all kinds of resources in the form of materials as well as start-of-art facilities, helping our students to prosper in the tech world.
