Training courses for architects and engineers
We return to the charge to try to train for free about the world of architecture and engineering with this compilation of free courses for architects and engineers. They are free MOOC courses provided by the main universities and training platforms that will help us expand our knowledge this summer without having to shell out a coin.
By the way, we want to remember that we already published an article with a free architecture course from Harvard University. Which seems to be still online and we can sign up.
Free online training
We recall that the purpose of MOOCs is to offer free courses normally taught by Universities or important organizations to make themselves known.
All courses are online and free without having to pay a single euro, yes, in a high percentage if a certificate of attendance and approval of the course is required, normally it has a cost for the certification that is really not very high if we have in who teaches them counts.
