Free Online Training

Microsoft offers free online training. Both on its own products and general information such as What is XML. Microsoft training uses some multimedia to make the experience as easy as possible. Training is available for most of their products plus some general courses for everyone. All in all they offer over 150 courses, each course is rated from 1 to 5 stars by participants. Most end up with a rating of 4 stars which is pretty good. Most courses are divided into Lessons. I tried several of these and in spite of my many years of computer experience, learned something new in every one of them I tried. Quick links appear in the table below:   Access OneNote Publisher Excel Outlook Visio FrontPage PowerPoint Word InfoPath Project Other HP recently expanded its free offers for people interested in learning more about computers and software. Free beginner tutorials and courses plus medium level and advanced training in computers and software are available free online today... The online courses are instructor guided, supported by Forums, quite comprehensive and well worth the effort. If you are a beginner you can gain very basic understanding of computer hardware including modems, hard drivers, joysticks, digital cameras by following this link or the link below for the free courses. Online registration is required for the more comprehensive instructor guided courses. I signed up and was very impressed by the quality of the content and references as well as the prompt response of the instructor to questions posted in the forums. I enjoyed the "no pressure" and "self paced" course so much that I just signed up for another one (Introduction to XML). If you want more comprehensive and yes, free, training in both introductory and more advanced subjects ranging from Microsoft Word & Learning XML to introduction to programming to Visual Basic, networking and dozens more courses, use this link for a list of all the current free classes.
