 * ONLINE COURSEWARE

I have found this online course which is for people that all ready have a recognised bachelor's degree and want to move into pre child, early child hood care

this targets people that have already in work are have children(s) and don't have the time to go into school and study all though you have to go to campus a minimal amount of time of 7 days per semester, this still gives the advantage of doing your course any time of the day and put in hours that suit you the student.

here are the hightlights from the web page

Highlights

Strong emphasis placed on practical experience in a variety of early childhood services and centres. May qualify you for a higher pay scale as it recognises your previous qualification. Flexible study options available through online delivery for flexible learning mode students and lecture-free days in the on-campus programme. it also allows you to download a ebook for my information

(highlights are straight referenced from the website listed below )

Elements Of Energetic Healing (from 'Courses Direct')
This particular course, one of many available from Courses Direct, seems to deal with some rather esoteric and occasionally disputed subjects like meridians, auras, the chakra system, etc. Derived from both Eastern and Western sources, modern and ancient, the course also bears out the sheer scope of tuition available at Courses Direct, who also cover decidedly unmystical subject areas like aviation, business management and - as unspiritual as you can get - government.

WordPress E-Commerce with WooCommerce
"You can learn anything on Udemy": https://www.udemy.com/

WordPress eCommerce with WooCommerce: https://www.udemy.com/woocommerce-free/?sl=E0QdHl89RhNWAUIlTA%3D%3D&dtcode=n9h2ciia

Target audience: Anyone who wishes to add some more funcionality to their WordPress site in terms of E-Commerce.

Contents: This course covers right from the initial installation of WooCommerce, to the flat-rate shipping. Users can watch videos to complete the course and see exactly how to complete the task.

It's good there is such a wide support for WordPress plugins, but registering is always a nuisance though! Sometimes it gets a bit old, how there's information available on the internet you can learn from with your own deduction skills but if you want to be taught the information from a course you have to register most of the time. E-Learning can sometimes feel like a big fat survey, before you even get to start learning!
