Today many professionals love to upgrade their skills as there is a lot of competition. Now is the time when people prefer to have more skills as that’s what matters a lot in business as well as for job professionals.
So professionals tend to research their skills offline as well as online. During the research they follow a few of the gurus with respect to explanation without even researching that are they genuine or not. So I would like to explain how to expose fake gurus and be cautious.
The difference between fake gurus and real gurus is tricky but important as well to find. Since we are investing our time, energy, and money so we all need to do proper research about the field and gurus as well.
Fake Gurus are of many types some of them are the ones who try to copy the authentic guru’s content and recreate it with their own style. So in this way, they create an illusion in front of the community about their fake experience. Then these fake gurus create courses similar to real gurus and sell them.
Due to this many of the people who buy fake guru courses suffer during their queries. As these gurus don’t have proper answers and this creates a misconception for the people. In this way, it becomes difficult to learn and grow.
Today we see there are a lot of free materials available on the internet about various skills, but we don’t value the content which is freely available. But in the case of paid courses under the brand name of gurus, we are ready to spend thousands of money and we learn those similar things.
For skills like blogging, youtube, and affiliate marketing there are many paid and free courses. Here the catch is that paid courses have a value similar to free resources but the difference is only the support. Some fake guru courses don’t provide support and in that way, the community starts feeling as not worthy. Due to this, the authenticity reduces.
Fake gurus don’t sell courses for providing value but only look for monetary benefit. They sell dreams like by this course and you will be able to earn a car, buy my course and earn a luxury lifestyle. This creates a false mindset among many of the learners, that we can fulfill our dreams by buying these courses.
Today before purchasing any training and coaching make sure to research properly. As for any training, coaching, and courses, we invest our hard-earned money, time, and energy. So make sure to invest wisely.
Now the question arises about how to research the trainer whether it’s proper or not, check their social media. Also, check how long he has been in that field. Even connect with their students for their response on those courses.
Many students always fail to check on their trainer and this becomes the cause of the issues later. Its like investment we do proper research on the company and its financials before investing. So make sure you properly examine everything before enrolling the course.
Always ask questions to the trainer about the course, how can you monetise this skill after learning, what are the future opportunities of that course or skill, how much is their experience in this field, check their practical explanation.
For any course or training everyone can ask for a practical demo where the trainer should show the practical things only. Many of the trainers also arrange demo of explaining the things just theoretical which is not correct. Always remember if things are not practically then how would you progress.
Also check for the opportunities in the skill and support of the trainers. When you invest we but obvious look for returns whether in terms of dividends or profit value. Similarly we need to check this with trainer as well.
Always remember support is very important in any training as that gives everyone an important aspect to clear their doubts and queries during their practicals. While we perform practically we gauge the idea how far we can go ahead with that skill.
Also check for future support from the trainer in terms like doubt solving sessions or live sessions. Live sessions can be organised with once a week or once in two weeks in that way it helps the people to clear their questions.
Some institutes charge small amount and arrange such live sessions for their students after their course so they stay connected and helps them to grow faster. In this way this kind of institutes helps their students to grow in their career.
Today many portals have information and free content about the courses so learn to do online research well. If you research at least you get an basic idea of how the field is and how technology works for it.
Lets take an example you are about to join an institute to learn graphic design. So first do some research about different tools and books. Then research on google for different tools related reference materials. Once we have the reference material check out an over view of how things work.
As per above example when we get an basic overview so we can question the trainer with queries like which tools you would us in the course, outcome of the course, experience of the trainer in that field, also earning opportunities of the course, and also the job assistance provided earlier with this course.
Once you have queries answered from the institute, ask them to arrange a demo session to show a practical of anyone software. During that session check the teaching pattern and ask queries around the topic if the trainer cant answer or makes excuses its a clear indicator that they are having fake experience.
Fake experience indicates that its only a money making opportunity without any value. Today many courses are available at very cheap prices on websites like Udemy. So make use of it.
Today everywhere it is most of the time money making opportunity without value so be cautious about this. Also value the free content as now a days paid courses have those free content only.
Always remember self learning is always going to be your best booster in learning any skill in life. As that gives you freedom to grow and make you independent in life. This is the best habit which makes you feel secured and helps you to achieve new success.
