MAKE this the year that you learn something new.
Whether you want to develop your digital skills or swot up on something completely different, there’s a free course that can help.
Here we round up where you can find your perfect course — for free.
OPEN TO ALL: The Open University offers free courses.
You can get an introduction to almost any subject from psychology to social media.
Find a list of them at open.edu/openlearn/free-courses.
You can also access Martin Lewis’s Money Saving Expert Academy Of Money via the site.
POETIC LICENCE: If Burns Night yesterday left you inspired, you can enrol on a free course about the life and poetry of Robert Burns at futurelearn.com.
There are loads of other free courses, too, including languages and swotting up on IT skills.
BRUSH UP ON BASICS: To get started in business or boost your skills to go back to work, search for The Skills Toolkit at nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/find-a-course/ the-skills-toolkit.
It lists free courses to help you learn new skills or change jobs, including courses for business and finance as well as computer science and coding.
And try freecoursesinengland.co.uk, which links learners with organisations that provide government-funded training.
DIG DEEP: There are thousands of free courses at udemy.com, so you should never be stuck for something to learn.
Alongside work skills courses, you can find “How to give an incredible deep tissue massage” and “How to speak to anyone and be fearless”.
The site allows instructors to create their own courses.
MEET UP AND MAKE FRIENDS: Learning online works for some but others prefer to meet up face to face.
Have a look what free courses are offered in your local community.
These might be through your nearest university or college, or offered by charities and local libraries.
