UP Open University offers free courses you can include in your resume as 16-hour training
It’s always a good idea to make time for learning and self-development.
If you want to learn more about something or simply keep your skills and knowledge current, you might want to consider taking short courses even when you’re just at home.
The UP Open University is offering 23 short courses with five additional multimedia production courses that you can complete at your own pace and convenience without a cost.
The Massive Open Online Courses, which are free, self-paced, and open to everyone, include interesting subjects that could “serve your personal and educational goals” such as gender sensitivity, basic graphic design, parenting, crisis management, social entrepreneurship, strategic planning, and video editing, among others.
