Mooc and free courses in energy efficiency, architecture, environment, renewable … etc.
Normally these months at the beginning of the year are hard to pass in terms of work and if we talk about the architecture, construction, energy efficiency or certification sector, I think I understand that the issue is becoming more acute.
For this reason, we have compiled a series of places on the net that can provide free energy efficiency training and other topics while we wait for future projects. First We provide moocs in Spanish and later in English, recognizing that the technician who has more knowledge in languages will be able to take better advantage of the present post.
In the network we can find a thousand courses where the label of "Free Course" is hung and in the end it turns out that you end up paying or the requirements are very specific, that is why we opted for MOOC courses (Massive Open Online Course) It is an education modality Free open mostly through an online digital platform normally supported by universities.
Also along the same lines:
- Free Excel training with different levels
- Free agroecology course
Here at the end it is about looking for a course that can help us both in our profession and complement the training. Another point to note is that in many cases, even though the course is finished, the documentation is still posted on the web, although there are no tutors or monitoring by the professionals who have implemented the course.
