Certificates, Accomplishments - All Free 5/23/2011
While some free things on the internet have vanished, others have not only flourished but expanded. One of those categories is education.
Today I am bringing to you a compilation of free online classes in which you get a nifty certificated at the end. Be aware, the certificates are mostly fluff, but, if you are trying to plump up your resume or even just like that sense of accomplishment, read on! Be aware that there are even more free online classes with certificates for Law Enforcement, Firefighters/EMT plus National/Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Too many to list.
Tips
1. Most classes are at will. Others have waiting lists. And some have a set schedule.
2. Be sure to give your class your full attention to gain the most in your learning experience.
3. Do not enroll/start too many classes at once or you will quickly feel overwhelmed and not finish any of them.
4. Even if the class does not give college credit, this does not mean it is not a learning tool for you. Give the class some respect.
