If you’re clueless about where to start, I got you. Check out these five sites that offer free online courses.
Grow With Google
Want to learn digital marketing, project management and more? Google offers various online courses for free. Many of them are related to Google products, but there are also some that are more broad in scope, such as putting up a business online. If you’re not a budding start-up founder, you can find a course in your niche and get a free certificate that you can download or link to. The courses are self-paced and there are a few that will take between 2 and 10 hours only.
