WHY ONLINE SKILL-UP?
This is an innovation in online teaching. These lessons are more interactive than academic courses and allow anyone to participate at anytime anywhere — so very different from in-person trainings. We decided that instead of calling them online trainings or online courses, a new name was needed. We call these online skill-ups because they are designed to skill you up. Read more about our philosophy of these innovative courses.
DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY
These courses are intended to be accessible to everyone. They can work on phones, tablets, computers and more, and work with high-quality internet and small bandwidth. They meet accessibility criteria regardless of disability, conforming to Section 508 in the United States, and the Equality Act in the UK. If you have any technical troubles or appreciations, please leave us a note.
