First, the acquisition methods are different.

Full-time colleges and universities enrolled in the country have obtained full-time college diplomas through full-time study; Distance education certificate is a kind of continuing education, which is obtained through distance (network or correspondence) learning.

Second, the degree and scope of academic qualifications are different.

Online education diploma and unified recruitment full-time diploma are both nationally recognized academic qualifications. The diploma of online education is mainly aimed at social adults, aiming to provide them with the opportunity to re-learn, so that they can get the diploma of a nationally recognized prestigious school through their own efforts after missing the opportunity to enter the unified recruitment colleges. However, some companies do not recognize these qualifications, and they emphasize the normal graduation qualifications of regular colleges and universities, excluding continuing education, whether full-time or part-time.
