Default Free E-Courses
I am not sure if this is the place to post this so I appologize if it is not. I know I have posted information about Bizymoms.com before. I began taking their e-courses and will be reviewing a few different ones over the next few days. I have recently finished Working with Freelancers and Contractors. It seems informative, giving you the ups and downs of hiring a contractor to do the work, what to look for as far experience in the contractor, how to find freelancers and contractors as well as many other aspects. Its short and to the point and does ask few questions at the end of each lesson. The only thing I dislike about it is that it does not go into great detail or explanation. Which may or may not be a bad thing, depending on the information you are looking for. They do give you advice when choosing a contractor, which I did like this point of the reading. I think this is a good course for those who are wanting to do subcontracting work because it gives some insight of what clients expect out of them as far as work goes.

Another good thing about these e-courses is that they do give you personalized certificates to post on your website, blogs, networking sites, etc., when you have completed the course.

I hope to inform you of more e-courses throughout the next few weeks and let you know what my opinion is of these. You can also see for yourself by clicking this link Bizy Moms

Yes, some of these courses I would assume are helpful. They offer a variety of different courses. From business writing, to marketing, to accounting basics. I am going to begin a course on the accounting and let everyone know if this course would be helpful to take or not. I would hate to see someone waste their time on a useless course! So, I would love to let you know what you are about to get yourself into! But, these opinions are, of course, from my perspective. Anyone is welcome to check these courses out for themselves!

The basic information they provide appears to be very useful. I would, however, keep in mind that it is VERY BASIC information and should be used as a foundation for further knowledge. It seems to be a good starting place from what I have seen.
