    FREE online courses

    GCFLearnFree.org

    Have to give a big shout-out to these folks, I needed a certification in Word2007 and the local career center gave me this web address. In addition to certifications in Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Office, they offer self tutorials in an amazing number of beginner computer areas and even one on Facebook. You may not be in the market for something this basic, but I bet you know somebody who could use it. I'm more than pleased.

      This is really great. Everyone here at work must take some upgrade classes required by the city, so this means one or two of us have to go to the seminar, learn the protocols and then come back and teach everyone else. The website you offered will now allow us all to get supplemental info without the one or two people becoming bogged down with questions while still attempting to do their normal duties.

      Thank you ever so much, as this truly is a wonderful tool.

                  Salt Lake City now requires landlords to take classes on being better landlords. I think to make things fair they should make tenants take classes on being better tenants. You know things like paying rent on time, not trashing the property, or letting the boyfriend from prison shack up and run his meth lab while the girl friend goes to her phone solicitation job.

                    You know, it helped me and I was trying to see if it could help others. The difference is that nobody makes you take any of this, and it takes initiative to do it. If it gets somebody a job, why is that a bad thing?

                    Oh dear.

                      The intent of my message was that if you need a course to learn to make a Facebook account, then maybe you're a cretin.

                        I guess if they want to see a certification and the freebie does the trick and gets you a job then it's not a bad deal. I'm just amused at all the requirements and certifications that are required for such basic jobs anymore. Meanwhile it seems like the quality of the people who work in those jobs is worse than before they requires all the certifications and tests.

                            Maybe because people with 30 years of very specialized experience are so over qualified to get a menial job that they need anything that will give them a leg up on the competition.

                            Oh dear.

                              Aren't the laws already slanted to protect the tenant? was there something bizarre that happened that led to this requirement?
