General education programs generally have the goal of providing students with a solid grounding in life skills and global knowledge. Students who complete this program often look for entry-level work or continue their education in a specific subject.

After earning a master’s degree, some students go on to pursue a Doctor of Education. This degree trains educators in specific concentrations such as early childhood or curriculum development, opening doors to more career opportunities.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
