I took some classes online to get my required annual credits for my EMT license renewal. they were free and easy to do but I need high speed internet so I could only do it 2 nights a week.

I think it was boundtree university free sign up
I olso got some OSHA certifications online on their website.

You need to be very careful with online college some are outright scams. The things you need to research are the colleges accreditations. If a school is properly accredited you are good. If its not the degree won't be worth the paper its printed on.

If u are getting financial aid most regular colleges have online classes.

But I'm sure there are decent online schools out there. I wish I remembered more about accreditation sorry but college was long ago.

You can check if a college is accredited on this site it looks like. I hope that helped a little.
