    Would it be silly to mention these in passing in an interview/on cv? I know they hold no qualification but surely it's an asset that you are educating yourself on things? Or just avoid altogether?

    You could add a "courses" section to your CV and list them there.
    Linkedin has a section called this now.

    I would defo mention them.

    OMG this is just what I am looking for..I was made redundant,I have 2 kids and to be honest it's not easy to stay at home when you're used of working. Anyway I want to do a course that I can maybe get some part time work out of. I'm big into fitness and have actually seen a deal on a Personal Trainer course on living social this morning, does anyone know how legit these are?? I come from an office background so this might be the change I need, but I don't want to waste my money if it's not recognised..
    Also before this I was considering doing a train the trainer course as that's another avenue I'd like to explore! Does anyone have recommendations for this??

    Thanks (my head is a muddle)!

    Hi all,

    I am new to this forum and was checking some online courses with Alison. I saw the free courses but was wondering the price of your certificates on the other courses. If anyone knows could you let me know roughly.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I was wondering, has anyone found a free (or cheap) method of getting the ECDL, or similar levels of training in some of the Microsoft applications ?

    Many thanks.

    Thanks,

    G.

    Hi all, with the coursera courses, can you study them at your own pace? I've just seen one I think my mother would enjoy but she wouldn't be able to commit to set times to be online or anything. Or are the courses all different?

    Google / Digital Garage do a very good course on Digital Marketing

    Its very good if you are managing your small businesses online prescence
    and get up to speed with the interent and using google products

    Alison have some good courses, free to do but validation and the cert costs

    HubSpot have some courses which are free to do, but quite a lot of content in them

    LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda) allow you to sign up for free trial and so some courses

    a number of other places offer their tester course or a month free to get you started

    Take a look at the courses that Google is offering. You can find absolutely anything you need and they are also very helpful, despite that they are free!

    This website I'm currently using for statistics help (https://www.studypug.com/statistics-help/) they have the free membership and the premium as well. With the free version is more than enough for me at least. If you decide to register (and if you want) shoot me a referral at thegoldbering@gmail.com


    Hope it helps!

    Here's a government funded site - https://www.ecollege.ie/course/

    Its free, and they give you vouchers to sit a professional cert once you have completed your course of choice and passed a mock exam. I did the Prince2 Project Management cert with them.You get a real live tutor that will follow up with you and help if needed. Cannot recommend more highly, our taxes well spent.

    Nothing!, the voucher is a code you use when booking it which changes the cost to zero.
