Free Online Training and Education

[Paul_AK]

There is no such thing as too much training. Recently I have poking around the internet and stumbled across many options for familiarization and awareness level courses, no actual certifications, mind you. I couldn't find any other threads on the subject and I'm sure some of these are not new, but here is a list in case anyone is interested. I have not tried all yet but some sites I have encountered require verification of a specific field of work or study in order to register. To my knowledge, though, these do not. If anyone has any others that I haven't found yet please feel free to share!
