What is your roadmap to a six-figure income?

In this era where training programs are a dime a dozen, how can one verify the validity and authenticity of an apprenticeship program? We all 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 that will introduce you to essential tools and platforms, or will it also cover advanced topics?
• Does the trainer have relevant projects and at least five years of industry experience in their teaching topic?
• What kind of support is provided to students during the program and post-program?
• What are the exact graduation criteria?
• Is the dropout rate high or low?
• What about the program fee? Is it reasonably high or low?

What are the qualities of an excellent 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 an excellent technical training program

• They are generally six to twelve months long
• Students invest at least 40 hours per week in hands-on learning
• Faculty has five to ten years of industry experience
• Coordinators are present during the program and post-graduation to provide one-on-one support
• The program guarantees employment post-graduation
• The fee is justified for the services provided

Where can you find such a technical training program in Pakistan?
