Types of eCourses (with examples)
ADAM'S EXAMPLES OF STANDARD STYLES OF COURSES
I’ve set this page up as a reference point. Some examples have a mixture of styles in them. Pricing will always vary depending on each particular project. I’ve attempted to provide guides to each type of course to provide a sense of the cost. Contact me on Fiverr to discuss your project and I can give you an estimate on time and cost based on your particular needs.
