Online Courses & Education Resources

The internet has revolutionized every field imaginable over the past ten years and created thousands more. One of the greatest features of the internet is to seamlessly share information with people across the world, including educational materials.

Gaining a legitimate education online is not only possible it is efficient. Many courses are offered totally FREE and are taught by professors from the best universities across the world or professionals actively working in the field.

Getting an education online is very flexible and benefits intrinsically motivated people who want to study at their own pace and pick and choose a variety of subject or narrowly target a niche. Courses can also vary greatly in length from a few hour of video lectures to full online degrees which take years to complete. This if you ask us, is the beauty of online education, it is 100% customizable.

Code Academy is an example of a wonderful company spreading education for FREE across the world in one of the most valuable skills, coding. Learn to code totally FREE instead of going to school and studying computer science to the tune of $50,000 a year AT LEAST at many private US colleges.

Khan Academy and Wolfram Alpha are amazing databases of video tutorials, basic & advanced calculators and general harbors of information.

Udemy is awesome to learn a hyper-specific or trending skill such as cryptocurrency investing or artificial intelligence.

When it comes to buying certificates of completion or authenticity for your courses we recommend you consider the motives behind taking the course. If you are learning for pleasure or personal use you likely don’t need to pay around $50 for a paper certificate saying you completed a course and are now knowledgeable in that field. If you are boosting your resume or trying to get a promotion at work this is a different story. Now, $50 to say you are proficient in a competitive field which may help you secure a 10% raise at your careers becomes worth its weight in gold.

At the end of the day you know your situation best so trust your gut and always remember that certificate or not it’s absorbing the material that counts.
