Discovering The Right Self Development Course

By Jerry Stevens


When desiring to enhance a great life, individuals often have a number of options. In one case, completing a self development course can often be a good choice. In addition, there are a number of these courses now being offered by individuals and institutions free through on and offline channels. For example, there are over ten individuals now offering online courses which focus on different areas of life, some which are free and others which have a nominal enrollment fee.

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.

In some cases, colleges and universities will provide certificates either for successfully completing a course or, for a small donation to the sponsoring school. While some had offered Honor Code certificates in the past simply for completing all the coursework, watching all the lectures and participating in discussions, most no longer do so. Although, edX, Saylor Academy, Coursera and similar websites still allow students to audit different courses on a non-tuition basis.

In addition to courses in self development, these institutions have courses in all areas of education. In fact, most offer the opportunity to audit courses with doing as little or, as much work as desired on a self-paced basis. As such, individuals can learn a great deal about new and different subjects by simply joining one of these sites, registering for classes, then watching associated lectures and videos with no worries of meeting assignment deadlines. If so desired, those auditing can also participate in various forums and discussions related to the course.

When it comes to independent courses, these are often provided through a number of different videos and downloadable workbooks. Depending on the provider, individuals may or may not have to complete and return assignments. Whereas, while some provide certificates upon completion, others do not.

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.

Since self development often refers to balancing body, mind and spirit, individuals can often find classes at different churches, community centers, medical centers, hospitals and others whom offer health clinics and courses open to the public. In most cases, these classes are offered free of charge to aid in strengthening the overall community. Whereas, individuals can often learn more about others and oneself by getting out and enjoying local community events.

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.
