Where To Find A Free Self Development Course

By Jerry Stevens


When desiring to enhance a great life, individuals often have a number of options. In one case, completing a self development course can often be a good choice. In addition, there are a number of these courses now being offered by individuals and institutions free through on and offline channels. For example, there are over ten individuals now offering online courses which focus on different areas of life, some which are free and others which have a nominal enrollment fee.

Some providers will also provide courses for free on a limited basis. It should be noted that when individuals are providing free courses, most also have a number materials associated with the subject available for sale. As such, it is important to locate a course in which the provider is serious about teaching and not only selling various products and services.

Beyond independent individuals offering such classes, online educational programs such as Coursera, edX and Saylor Academy and others are offering free courses with some having certificates available for a small donation to the sponsoring school or University. While edX originally provide Honor Certificates from the sponsoring school for completing coursework. While this is the case, it now appears the Verified Certificate which can be acquired with a donation to the sponsoring University and completing all required work remains the only option.

In most cases, colleges and universities offering courses through these sites have a wide variety of course offerings. In most cases, courses are the same as those provided on-campus and sometimes students attend lectures through online video networks either live or on a pre-recorded basis. As such, individuals can learn and grow a great deal by completing any one of these online courses provided by worldwide colleges and universities.

In independent study programs provided by individuals, most either provide the work through email or an online portal which provides information and workbooks. Depending on the provider, students may be required to return assignments back to the instructor. Whereas, while most do not provide certification for such courses, there are a few whom might be willing to do so upon request.

Individuals can also attend local conferences, meetings and workshops with regards to self exploration and special interest. Whether at a church, college, university or book store, these programs can often provide a great deal of education, information, insight and knowledge to those in attendance. In addition, senior citizens can often find a number of these courses being offered at senior centers around the country.

Since self development often refers to balancing body, mind and spirit, individuals can often find classes at different churches, community centers, medical centers, hospitals and others whom offer health clinics and courses open to the public. In most cases, these classes are offered free of charge to aid in strengthening the overall community. Whereas, individuals can often learn more about others and oneself by getting out and enjoying local community events.

Ultimately, motivation is key in locating a great course which will aid in creating or enhancing life in the future. In fact, simply going to a talk at a local bookstore, joining a book club or attending a library event can often be an entertaining and enlightening experience which can often provide insight and knowledge in different areas. Whereas, if a poet or writer, attending a writer's conference or poetry festival featuring workshops, an open mic or poetry slam can often be entertaining and educational.
