There are definitely advantages of doing an online course. It's all online which means it makes it easier and you can study and work at the same time as well as study at your own pace. As long as you got internet connection then it's a good way to complete your qualification. Like you found out, it does cost you... I think if you go to TAFE on site, it's cheaper than an online course hwoever this may take a full year to complete. With the online course you may be able to finish it in less than a year. You also have an option of doing a traineeship... Have you thought about that since you want to work and study at the same time...
