What will change in your work?
Name a task you want to perform more reliably and ask how the course develops it. Check the learning outcomes against the actual syllabus. Broad language about transformation is less useful than a precise account of what you will practise. If the provider offers a sample activity, use it to judge the level and your preparation.
Who reviews your work, and how?
Ask what you must submit, who assesses it and whether you receive individual feedback. Clarify the time commitment, access period and opportunities to ask questions. These are three separate checks: practice, feedback and feasibility. A large content library can be useful, but access to information alone does not tell you how your performance will be evaluated.
What exactly does the credential mean?
Ask who issues it, what achievement it records and what any recognition claim refers to. Read the full cost and applicable cancellation terms before payment. If your goal depends on an employer or professional body accepting the credential, check with that body directly. The fifth question is personal: can you complete the work under the conditions you actually have?
