So, you’re thinking of doing a course? There’s a whole new world out there when it comes to getting training and qualifications. We’ve tried to narrow it down into categories as you’ll see to the left.
The links to courses are just provided as an aid to your research and we can’t vouch for the quality of the courses themselves so make sure you ask all the questions you need before committing. If you’re not sure whether going on a course or getting a qualification will help you get a job why not drop a prospective employer a line and ask them.
A lot of the year round jobs will undoubtedly benefit from a qualification and UCAS is the place to go to look for uni and tech courses: http://www.ucas.com/students/coursesearch/index.html Again, check with employers about the best courses to go on and the best places to study.
If you haven’t been on a course or got a qualification the next best thing is getting some experience. A survey by Timebank of 200 organisations showed that 94% of employees who volunteered to learn new skills had benefited either by getting their first job, improving their salary, or being promoted. All that and you can have a lot of fun and make new mates – what are you waiting for?Look at the voluntary work links for ideas.
If you run a course that would feel at home here at jobswithoutdesks.com and would like us to add you link then please get in touch. We'd be happy to welcome you on board!
