Challenges in Balancing Work & Study for Working Professionals

Brisbane, Australia, April 10, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​Every year thousands of students find their way into Australia with the dream of quality higher education. Master of business and master of Information Technology top the popularity chart when it comes to international students in Australia. However, a steady growth of Project Management students has also been forecasted by the Australian government to meet the gap in services sector of the economy. This can be attributed primarily to the fact that project management courses are taken up by working professionals who have been promoted in their hierarchy and hence, are expected to sharpen their project management skills through a quality professional course. 
Most working professionals find it difficult to balance work & study, after they get enrolled for a course in project management. There are many students who are not able to clear the certification exam at the end of the course, as it demands a good deal of preparation and practice. Most of those make it through are among the resilient ones who succeed after multiple attempts at the assessment. Other than the word & study balance, students are stuck with typical project management coursework which requires them to think through and apply the theoretical concepts discussed in the training material. 
The trouble starts when a student realizes it’s too late to figure a way out to prepare the solution to the coursework and a deadly panic sets in. The same happened with a working IT professional in Brisbane named Srinivasan, who was stuck in Gantt chart preparation and modifications based on a question in his assignment. The fact that most of the rest of the solution banked a lot on the outcome of his Gantt chart analysis, made things worse. He did talk to some of his colleagues who had taken the same course earlier, but their suggestions still didn’t solve the purpose when he sat down to work on it at midnight. 
Fortunately, he found a way out and searched for a few project management experts on various forums discussing similar problems, but this step too was time taking as his specific problem was hard to find. He also checked for online tutors and that’s when he was addressed by an IT professional, who was working part-time helping students with such coursework. Srinivasan shared all the documents he had prepared so far and after a brief review of the progress made so far, he got to talk with the expert over a Skype call. Within an hour the bottleneck was resolved by the tutor named Mark, who is working as a subject matter expert in project management at ExpertAssignmentHelp. 
Most of these online tutoring websites providing academic guidance to students have been of timely help to students like Srinivasan. This is because most of the Do It Yourself (DIY) courses, turn out to be a nightmare for those who cannot afford to dedicate significant amount of hours behind it. Quoting Mark, "Timely help with a specific question at the right time is helping the students finish their tasks on time". Many researchers have also pointed out that the higher a student is successful in completing the coursework, the higher the chances of the student making it to the end of the course. Due to increasing demand for such assistance, nowadays tutors use screen sharing applications to illustrate software like Microsoft Project for project management students. The industry is now looking forward to a time when such online academic assistance will merge with virtual reality to offer a more holistic experience to distance learning courses.
