For more than a year now, I’ve been lucky to get a job as technical support representative for one of America’s major Internet service provider. I’ve always wanted to work in the IT industry although I’m still in the process of finishing my business course. As much of my time is spent on the job, I find it uneasy to find time to finish my studies and take short computer courses.I’ve always wanted to learn more about Oracle knowing fully well that an Oracle Certification would open more windows of opportunities to jobs that pays well. You can even do freelance consultancy over the Internet in your spare time as a side line. I’ve also wanted to be a Cisco Certified Network Administrator to compliment my computer skills in the hardware area.Perhaps the best alternative to traditional classroom experience, and the most convinient of all, for my schedule, would be to do it online. A lot of online schools are offering such programs but knowing who to trust is the hard part.
Elearning is the way to go for me and based on experience in the field of online education, Learn.com is one of the few sites that I take into consideration. With an interactive learning interface, Learn.com’s available courses are varied and almost all in-demand courses in the job market today are available in their database and it’s even reasonably priced.
To test their interface, as well as learn a thing or two about important everyday living tips, you can try their free online course first just like I did. I picked the one which teaches how to avoid junk mail as a lot of those bad boys eat up 5 minutes of my day even though I already set a junk folder for it.
If you are not planning to get a new skill for a new job, I still recommend browsing through the list of available courses. Perhaps you’ll be able to find something that would help you get the skills for that much aspired promotion.
