Two people read the same page and neither is the other: whoever pays and whoever attends. The site has to answer the practical questions of the first — cost, term dates, how to get there — without boring the second.
With no dates, a course looks like a course that does not exist. Next start, places left and the application deadline belong at the top of the page, not inside a PDF brochure.
What people are buying is what comes after: the certificate, who recognises it, and whether the course can be funded. Said plainly it turns a browse into an application; left vague it turns into a call nobody makes.
Group size and who teaches decide more enrolments than the syllabus. Twelve to a class with a named teacher is a different product from thirty with an unnamed one, and only one of the two is worth saying out loud.
«Will I be the slowest in the room?» That fear stops the enrolment and hardly anybody names it in writing. How groups are formed by pace rather than by age, how many students there are per tutor in a practical session, what happens when somebody needs something repeated three times and nobody gets impatient, and why starting from zero is the ordinary case in this room rather than the exception.
«Will you teach what I actually need or only theory?» A course that does not fix the phone of the person who enrolled is worth nothing. That the work happens on your own device rather than on classroom computers, which topics always come up — booking a doctor's appointment, video calling grandchildren, spotting scams, banking on a phone — and which get added if the group asks, what stays on paper for home, and what happens when somebody changes phone halfway through.
«If I miss a class for a hospital appointment, do I fall behind?» At this age an absence is not lack of interest, and handling it well fills the courses. How a missed session is caught up and whether notes exist, whether you can attend a different slot that week, how many absences are possible without losing your place, and what is arranged when somebody has to stop for two months and wants to come back.
A relative who wants to help needs instructions too. Which settings to leave alone, what to write down and why doing it for somebody is the fastest way to make sure they never learn: families are half the audience for this page.
