Looking for some Free online training courses recommendations please

[Biscuits46]

Can you recommend an online course you’ve recently done?

Im looking to return to working hopefully in admin/secretarial but definitely need to brush up on skills.

Ive googled and seen a few courses but would appreciate recommendations and did they help you secure a new job?

thank you

Ooh following this with interest as also in same boat

For brushing up your Excel skills, you can't go wrong with Leila Gharani on YouTube - here's her playlist for Excel for Beginners:

And for PowerPoint, One Skill PowerPoint:

Look at future learn. They do a wide range of free on line courses on every topic. I’ve done a few with them and found them useful c

I've done a couple of these - this one and the GDPR one and they were definitely beneficial in getting my admin role, my employer liked that I'd gained quals off my own back in preparation.

I second Leila Gharani on you tube for excel. Also Alison free excel courses, you do have to sit through advertising but some of the excel stuff is great. I love excel, it's such a powerful tool. If you can get to the stage where you can do pivot tables you'll be an asset to many businesses!

Microsoft have free courses for all elements of the Office suite

Thank you all for your responses. I shall look into all of these suggestions. There is a lot more out there than I had realised.

This will help immensely. I can update skill/learn new skills in the evenings when kids are in bed. And once I feel confident again I will do some volunteering in admin posts before applying for a job. I’ve been out of the working environment for over 5 years now and I am a little nervous.
Thanks so much for you help!

Does Harvard not offer some?
