Locating A Free Self Development Course

By Jerry Stevens


Whether living life to the fullest or looking for ways to create a better life, there are a number of free online courses which can often be of assistance. In fact, there are more than ten free offerings when it comes to finding a great self development course online. As such, whether looking to enhance an already amazing life or learning about different subjects, these classes often have something to offer.

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.

In some cases, colleges and universities will provide certificates either for successfully completing a course or, for a small donation to the sponsoring school. While some had offered Honor Code certificates in the past simply for completing all the coursework, watching all the lectures and participating in discussions, most no longer do so. Although, edX, Saylor Academy, Coursera and similar websites still allow students to audit different courses on a non-tuition basis.

When it comes to completing courses through these sites, there are a number of self development type courses along with more traditional offerings such as biology, chemistry, English, philosophy, physics, psychology science, theology, math and other categories from universities around the world. In fact, some of these websites are now offering the opportunity to become certified in different areas by completing multiple courses within one program of study.

When it comes to independent courses, these are often provided through a number of different videos and downloadable workbooks. Depending on the provider, individuals may or may not have to complete and return assignments. Whereas, while some provide certificates upon completion, others do not.

While these courses can often be fun, exciting and beneficial, there are other paths an individual can take on a path of self discovery and development. These paths include, attending local conferences, seminars and workshops on different topics, participating in local bookstore and library readings and events, taking part in programs at a local senior center or attending a local health and wellness fair.

In most cases, self development refers to bettering oneself in body, mind and spirit. As such, getting out and exploring new and different opportunities can also provide a great deal of development in this area. For, the more an individual gets out into the world, often the more one learns about oneself and others.

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.
