Here’s part of an email I received about an offer of free online computer courses. These are professional courses, each costing sometimes hundreds of dollars. I wrote back and forth with him and confirmed that this will be free for homeschoolers for the indefinite future and that it can be used multiple times by the same student. Please honor their generosity and do not post this code elsewhere online. He decided I should share it here and then point others to come here to get the code to access the classes. If you want to share this code with others online, please do the same and direct them to this blog post. This offer is for homeschool students only, not for adults. This is thousands of dollars worth of courses being offered us for free, so I really hope many will take advantage of it. This is not just for techie kids who are into programming and web design. Your non-computer users can learn things like Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, etc. Every kid needs to know how to use computers as the powerful tools that they are.
The CEO of my company, Webucator, is beginning to homeschool his 7th grade daughter next year. In searching for curriculum, he couldn’t find a lot of great free online software and web development courses. As Webucator specializes in this kind of training in the corporate world, we know how valuable these skills are. So, we’ve decided to make all of our self-paced courses available for free to homeschoolers. This includes courses on web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc), Photoshop, Dreamweaver and many others.To register for a course, all they need to do is:
- Go to our Self-paced Courses page.
- Browse through the courses.
- Click the Order Now button next to the course.
- Enter HOMESCHOOL for the Coupon Code and click Validate Coupon.
- Complete the registration.
That’s all there is to it. As I said, the courses are self paced, so students will need to have some discipline to get through them, but one of the great things about homeschooling is that it helps kids develop this kind of discipline. So, we’re hopeful that our courses will help kids develop much needed skills in the workplace. Plus, a lot of this stuff is just fun to learn!
Is this no longer working? I get “page not found” when I click the link.
Here’s the updated link from our computer page. We don’t always think to go back and update old blog posts: https://www.webucator.com/self-paced-training/#courses
Coupon is no longer recognized
It is still working. Be sure to choose a SELF-PACED course and then in the payment box select “coupon” instead of “credit card.” Be sure to type the code in all caps with no spaces before or after. The key most people miss is that it’s only for self-paced courses. You need to select that option from the list of ways to access the class.
