Hi Aspirant!

Short term course is basically defined as the intensive sequence of learning activities offered regularly over a short period of time.

>> In simple words, you have a certain goal, for example: you want to learn web development. So you do the courses/certificates needed to reach your goal, step by step.

>> First you start with the web development fundamentals and get a certificate in that. Then you go for choosing the specialization and learn the programming language needed for that. Then you do different projects and so on, keep achieving the different certifiactes to reach your ultimate goal (web developer).

Hope I answered your query, thankyou!
