Opportunity for free online courses
More than 30 interactive online courses are available from eCollege, free, writes Brian Byrne.
The general areas include Business, Computer Programming, Data Science, Databases, IT Professional, Office Productivity, and Web and Graphic Design.
eCollege is the national online learning service for the Further Education and Training sector, funded by SOLAS.
It is run by a team at Cenit College who are based in Maynooth. The team includes Management, Administration and the eTutors.
The eTutor team are all trainers specialised in their own subject fields such as Office, IT, Programming and Graphic Design. All students who join eCollege are assigned an eTutor who can assist and guide through studies.
The courses may benefit people already doing an FET course who would like to add to their learning. They might also be useful to people who have recently become unemployed and who want to upskill or reskill.
The initiative is temporarily offering its courses for free, as an additional support to those impacted by Covid-19 restrictions.
There's a Starter Course for those who would like to get a taste of how the various courses work.
