The saying “you can’t believe everything you see
on the internet” is true, but the internet is a rich source of both
introductory and advanced information on IT skills. These sites range
from a few screens on the topic to complete courses. A Google or Bing
search for “learning JavaScript free” will list hundreds of sites
on JavaScript.
Of course, our own predictive testing platform
at Skillset provides
a good marriage between specific test prep and exploratory career
advancement. If you’re not sure how all the skills fit together, or
which you need to focus on before seeking a new career, Skillset can
be invaluable for finding your way through different assessments
for IT skills and beyond.One interesting site is Code Academy, which has currently free courses on various IT topics, such as JavaScript, HTML, jQuery, Python, CSS, and PHP.
A number of sites offer the first lesson free, but charge for the remainder of the course.One of the premier learning sites is Lynda.com. For $25 a month, you have unlimited access to their extensive library of courses.
Consider local colleges and universities. Some offer evening courses that are open to adult non-degree students. Others host free online courses, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) that are essentially free online courses open to anyone.
Consider YouTube as well. A search for JavaScript shows dozens of videos – and even several courses – on the subject. While the quality varies, YouTube videos are a source for free technical education.
There are many
educational companies who offer in-classroom instruction on IT
technical skills. These range from several hundred to
several thousand dollars, depending on length, amount of lab
practice, and the instructor.
While expensive, classroom and lab sessions usually assure the
student he or she will develop the basic skills taught in the course.
Some people learn better in a structured classroom environment.
Consider asking your manager for reimbursement by explaining how the
new skill will make you more valuable to the organization.
