In this era where training programs are a dime a dozen, how can one verify the validity and authenticity of a apprenticeship program? All of us know quite a few people in our circles who have been scammed in the name of online earnings. Let’s explore how to detect scams and build a sustainable roadmap to a six-figure income.
What does a scam look like?
Sustainable earnings demand time, effort, and practice. Ask these questions to detect scammers.
- Is it a short program of a few weeks to introduce you to basic tools and platforms or will it cover advanced topics too?
- Does the trainer have relevant projects and at least five years of industry experience in the topic they are teaching?
- What kind of support is provided to students during program and post-program?
- Exact graduation criteria?
- Dropout rate high or low?
- What about the program fee? Is it reasonably high or low?
What are the qualities of a good technical training program?
Students need to internalize that there is no shortcut to success. Anyone saying otherwise is lying or cheating you. Based on decades of experience of our team we identified the following qualities of a good technical training program
- They are generally six to twelve months long
- Students invest at least 40 hours per week hands-on learning
- Faculty has five to ten years of industry experience
- Coordinators are present during program and post graduation to provide one on one support
- Program guarantees employment post-graduation
- Fee is justified for the services provided
Where can you find such a technical training program in Pakistan?

It provided me with the tools and skills necessary to succeed both personally and professionally. I particularly appreciated the supportive and inclusive environment, which helped me overcome my feelings of depression and self-loathing. I’m grateful for the recognition I received as a result of my hard work, and I will always be thankful for the impact this program has had on my life.”
Another graduate, Kiran Mughal from our UX Design course, express herself saying, “The IEC learning experience was a game-changer for UX design skills, offering expert instructors, fostering hands-on learning and personal attention to master intricacies of the field. This led to not just a deeper understanding of UX design but also important skills like critical thinking and problem-solving, having a significant impact on personal and professional growth. Proud of what was accomplished, and highly recommend IEC to anyone seeking to enhance their UX design skills.”
