Some FREE training. The price is right at least.

I thought it a worthwhile exercise to look around for some free training.
I need more freedom and training will certainly help.

Honestly, I found a great deal in a very short time.

It is quite difficult to  determine the quality of the information
provided in each of these places, but there is no shortage of
sources to investigate.


Here are  five of the places I've encountered :

 1. Keeps Granny up to date

     Lots of straightforward introductions to MS Office,
     Twitter, MacOs.

              Free basic training.

2.    More technical. More useful :
  • Mondays: IT certification and exam information
  • Tuesday: IT news and important announcements
  • Wednesdays: Tips, tricks, tutorials and how-to articles
  • Thursdays: Free training videos
  • Fridays: IT career help and job information
  • Weekends: TrainSignal company news and updates

    More Serious training. Still free.
 3.    Even more ! And we do mean MORE :

        TechTutorials offers a directory containing thousands of free tutorials for IT 
        professionals, hobbyists, and home users. Registration recommended.
