tinfoilhat Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I’m thinking about filling my rather empty diary with something productive. Would like it be ideally something that will result in a recognised qualification - or could be used in the future towards one. Google produced a few answers but I don’t know who I should be looking at and who I should be avoiding. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffRaff Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Shaw Academy - based in Dublin, I think - used to offer a range of online courses a while ago, and maybe still do. Everything from music theory to B-S-ology. Quite a few were free, as long as you could put up with the push to take a (pay) follow-up course towards the end.

Have a look at eDX or Coursera...I've done eDX courses in a few work-related things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindylou53 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Future Learn have a massive choice of subjects on offer - both professional and interest only topics - some leading to qualifications I think and/or counting towards CPD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
