Where To Find A Free Self Development Course

By Jerry Stevens


Whether having issues with self-acceptance, doubt or control, there are a number of options with regards to obtaining guidance. For some, this might be seeking help from a counselor or psycho-therapist while others might find it more beneficial to complete a self development course. In either case, individuals will often learn important lessons with regards to these and other areas.

In some cases, courses may only be offered for free on a limited basis. In addition, it should be noted that while the courses are often free, individuals offering such opportunities generally have books, CDs, DVDs and other products and services available at a cost. As such, many of the courses are being offered as a marketing ploy. While this is the case, most do not require a purchase to complete the free course.

Online educational programs such as Saylor Academy, edX, Coursera and others also offer online classes and programs either on an audit basis free of charge or, on a certificate basis for a small donation to the sponsoring University. Most often, individuals must complete all required coursework associated with the course alongside students completing the course in a classroom setting. In some cases, interacting live with fellow students and instructors as a pre-requisite for obtaining a certificate.

In most cases, colleges and universities offering courses through these sites have a wide variety of course offerings. In most cases, courses are the same as those provided on-campus and sometimes students attend lectures through online video networks either live or on a pre-recorded basis. As such, individuals can learn and grow a great deal by completing any one of these online courses provided by worldwide colleges and universities.

In independent study programs provided by individuals, most either provide the work through email or an online portal which provides information and workbooks. Depending on the provider, students may be required to return assignments back to the instructor. Whereas, while most do not provide certification for such courses, there are a few whom might be willing to do so upon request.

Individuals can also attend local conferences, meetings and workshops with regards to self exploration and special interest. Whether at a church, college, university or book store, these programs can often provide a great deal of education, information, insight and knowledge to those in attendance. In addition, senior citizens can often find a number of these courses being offered at senior centers around the country.

Self development generally refers to bettering the overall self while better understanding whom one is as an individual. As such, getting out and exploring local, regional, national and international opportunities can also be enlightening and informative. For, the more an individual gets out and discovers the world, the more one can learn about oneself and others.

Ultimately, by attending any of these courses, individuals can often grow personally and professionally. Whereas, getting out to public courses and events can also aid individuals in making new connections and friends through networking with others of the same mind and interests. As such, if a course looks interesting, whether online or off, individuals might want to register and attend.
