QNET Fights Scam Reputation, Makes Education Accessible for Young Learners

The QLearn platform was created through collaboration with experienced educators and experts in the academic field. It has thousands of animated video explanations to help young learners find the solutions to textbook questions — many of its more than 10,000 games, quizzes, and practice questions pertain to the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

That’s smart, since 6.6% of all the jobs in the United States are in STEM-related fields, which are forecasted to employ 11.3 million people by 2030. Occupations within the technical disciplines have grown 79% since 1990. However, according to the National Math & Science Initiative, at most, 36% of undergraduates are prepared for college-level science courses.

The learning platform is inclusive for learners of all abilities, which is incredibly important. Cindy Marten, the United States deputy secretary of education, said, “The department’s Civil Rights Data Collection continues to demonstrate that students of color and students with disabilities are disproportionately excluded from learning opportunities in STEM.”

The COVID-19 pandemic caused worldwide school closures and highlighted the need for a modern digital education model. Berni Gaksch, category manager of QNET’s education portfolio, stated, “We want to make education accessible for kids worldwide, beyond the bounds of their school grounds or learning center.”

The curriculum is available in English, with plans to expand language choices. It utilizes a blended learning approach. Gaksch explained it’s “a form of virtual education that supplements face-to-face classes in school” with many benefits, such as the flexibility for students to learn anywhere and at their own speed.

“This helps kids get the most out of their schooling experience — enabling them to participate more in school activities and interact with their peers while still ensuring they can brush up on their studies anytime,” he stated.

Education Unlocks New Opportunities

QNET encourages everyone to lead the change they wish to see in the world. While the K-12 education program focuses on understanding the basics of reading and writing, the QLearn platform offers a variety of programs to sharpen educational and professional skills.

The soft skills management course highlights the skills most leaders need, including teamwork, time management, and communication. It’s a smart choice for those looking to learn vital transferable and interpersonal skills.

The higher education option is an extensive list of courses designed to allow learners to boost their self-confidence while studying what they love. English language courses are also available on QLearn. Students will gain confidence as they work on reading, writing, listening, speaking, and pronunciation skills.

Keeping the platform fresh is a priority. Plans include a podcast platform that will feature its educational experts to help guide students through choosing the best learning process for their personal journey.

Why Do People Think QNET Is a Scam?

QNET is not a scam or pyramid scheme, despite what some media outlets have reported. The professional, product-centric company obeys all laws and regulations. It’s dedicated to delivering high-quality products, in the areas of health, wellness, and lifestyle, to customers via the direct selling model. And it offers comprehensive training and education programs to better clear up any misconceptions about the legitimacy of the direct selling industry.

Despite often getting mistaken for a scam or pyramid scheme, the company is undeterred in its mission to live up to the founders’ vision of establishing a business committed to making a difference in the world and making a profit. Diversity is a strength of the company, which has developed a global community of independent distributors throughout Europe, Africa, Central Asia, South East Asia, and the Middle East.

It’s helped develop microentrepreneurs in many emerging economies for decades. Throughout 2023 QNET will celebrate 25 years of award-winning success, having expanded its presence in over 25 countries worldwide and been involved in giving back to communities in more than 50 countries.

“I think one of the smartest things our founders did was to merge the concept of direct selling with the then very new concept of e-commerce,” said CEO Malou Caluza. “This disrupted traditional direct selling.”

The company started in 1998 when the industry was focused on retail shops, personal connections, and face-to-face interactions. Caluza said the company “experienced some challenges, but we had a lot of excitement, passion, and belief in what we were doing. The experiment paid off.”

Education isn’t a barrier for anyone interested in becoming an independent representative. “QNET has so many moving stories of people who came from nothing and went on to achieve financial and personal goals beyond their wildest dreams,” said Caluza. “Direct selling democratizes opportunity for people. This business welcomes anyone from all walks of life.”
