I’m interested in starting my own business but don’t have time to go to school in person. I’m looking for a certificate program or just individual courses/classes that are good for individuals interested in learning desktop publishing, creative programs like adobe illustrator/photoshop, etc. My options: online/distance learning classes available online or individual courses at a local school or center in Long Island…Any ideas??

While there are all kinds of benefits that are associated with learning and furthering your educational goals there are even more benefits to those who wish to pursue online learning in order to achieve those goals. I hope you will find that many of these benefits are quite enlightening and carefully consider whether or not online learning for your education needs will be in your best interests.
1) Convenience. This is a word we are quite familiar with. Right along with instant gratification. We are a society of people who have lived with drive throuh banking and fast food and are rapidly moving in the direction of drive thru pharmacies and dry cleaning. We live in a fast paced world and when we can work education into our busy schedules and on our own terms we find that this is something we tend to like a lot. I recommend that you watch for a growing number of online classes and online students in the coming years as more and more professionals decide to further their degrees and their careers.
Would any of you like to share favorite online learning sites, both paid and free. I’ve found a few that are awesome and figure there must be more. Some of these sites even keep track of the kids progress in subjects and you can print out the reports. I love it! Thanks in advance.

A few years ago I found a site with lots of online learning modules for nurses. Once you had done the relevant reading you would then do a test and if you passed by a certain percentage you could print a certificate. This site offered all this for free. However I cannot remember what it was called and cant find it on google etc. Does anyone know what this site is called?
I meant for continuing professional development.
