In order to help new online students not be surprised by the new online training, Ms. Huynh Thi Thu Thao – Regional Manager of Hansae Fashion Company – online student of the course 2/2017 shared the reasons for learning and some effective learning methods: “Online learning is a method in which we self-study, arrange our own time, and can be flexible in learning and practicing, so it is easy for some of you to stagnate or wait until the end of the course to study. Therefore, you should allocate your time and plan your personal learning strategies. It is essential for you to spend at least 1 hour on studying, but do not spend too much time on learning because it would accidentally create pressure and boredom for you. “
