Amazing ways you can learn for free. There are some of us who wouldnt learn anything intensely unless theres a certificate to be gotten in the end. They, oftentimes, pass up the amazing opportunities to learn for free that abound, as only few of those free opportunities provide the luxury of a certificate. 1. Coursera Cousera gives you free access online to over 600 courses from 100+ universities and organizations in the world. I have taken some courses from the University of Michigan, University of Melbourne, Duke University, University of Toronto and John Hopkins University. You get taught mostly by professors with decades of experience teaching at those universities and are trying hard to match the quality of teaching they give to their offline/regular students. All for free to you. I owe a large part of my knowledge of world history and corporate finance to courses I took on Coursera. I consider it the number 1 way to learn from University professors for free. 2. Codecademy If you want to learn web programming, codecademy is the number one place to start. It has a fail-safe method of teaching web design, Javascript, jQuery, Python, Ruby and PHP. You learn by doing, via an ingeniously simple way. Theres almost no way you cannot absorb and retain the knowledge codecademy with impart to you. And its 100% free. 3. Microsoft Virtual Academy Microsoft has put together a huge collection of well organized training for IT and all Microsofts technologies. Without paying for anything, you can learn C#, VB, HTML5, Javascript, Microsoft Azure, Windows Phone App development, C++, Game Development, Windows App development, Web Apps and Web Development from industry experts. 4. HP LIFE HP Learning Initiative For Entrepreneurs (LIFE) offer free training for entrepreneurs worldwide. You learn for free the Finance, Marketing, Operations and Corporate Communications education you need to build a world class company, with lots of free extra support from HP. 5. Khan Academy Khan Academy, like Coursera, provides lots of courses for free. The difference is that while Coursera focuses on University courses, Khan Academy on both high school and university courses. And its courses are available year round, unlike Courseras which are available at specific periods of the year. 6. Memrise Memrise is your perfect free solution to learning any (major) language.
