Do you like to learn new things?  Do you need continuing education classes?  Try ED2GO classes.  I have taken four of these so far.  I have had accounting fundamentals, WordPress, website design and intermediate Excel.  These are interactive, instructor-led, online, and can be found at many technical colleges. They offer courses in accounting, business, computer applications, language, design and composition, technology, personal development, college readiness, technology, health, and several others.  The ones that I have taken ran from $60-75 each.  The classes start once a month, run for six weeks, two lessons per week.  You have a two week grace period.  You can download and save the lessons or print them out for reference.  They are much better than tutorials, easy to understand, and a great way to learn.  You will get a completion certificate at the end of the course and around 2.5 CEU’s.

The only downfall that I have seen is that you need to have the software on your computer for the computer applications.  This can be expensive if you don’t already have it.  I have not had to purchase any books.

If interested, go to ed2go.com and check it out.  You will be asked to give your zip code to find the nearest school offering the classes.  That does not really matter since you will not be going to the school.  You will have to register and pay through the school.  I have done this online or by phone.
