Brian makes some good points. And, in your case, you may not necessarily want to use just the title of a given course you’re linking to for inspiration on how to phrase the link. Think about what the person will get out of the course, then use a bit of that language.

Keep in mind, too, that those are very long sentences to be linking. Also, getting “more information” about “on-demand online training” feels a bit jargon-heavy. Sure, that all means something, but the end result is vague and generic. Try making your links shorter and specific to the benefit your audience will get from a given course that you’re linking to.

And, as Brian said, test it!

We tend to agree with Jared Spool’s take on this:

“…7-12 words is what users need to ensure *their* trigger words
(not the *designer’s* trigger words) are visible. It turns out to be a game of probabilities. With less than 7 words, the likelihood that a trigger word appears in the link drops substantially.

Now, there are some links that only needs a single word. For example, when we tested HP.com for people who needed to download software, the word “DRIVERS” worked just fine. Every user we tested found what they wanted with that single-word link.

But most links aren’t that convenient. They require more words to allow the user to succeed better.”
