KUCCPS Artisan Courses, how to choose

Guidelines on How to Select the Best Artisan Course
Here are some recommendations to assist you in reducing your options and locating a course that most closely matches your professional goals:
Interests
Choose a course that appeals to you because doing so will help you enjoy your future career. You’ll be motivated to work hard since you’ll be having fun.
The employment rate
As was already mentioned, taking less employable courses has led to a large number of graduates being unemployed. Before making a choice, first evaluate the market.
Course Content
As the going gets rougher, students may enroll in courses only to drop them in the second semester. Look into the course material modules to prevent this. Recognize the prerequisites for the course.
Cost
Pick a course that is within your budget. It’s really embarrassing to join in a course only to leave early owing to financial issues.
Aptitude
Consider your skills and abilities. You may be aware of your goals, but are you also aware of your strengths? A course that enables you to explore both your interests and your talents should be your choice.
