Tips for applying for a free course
General advice from us, the same for every course. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Check how many hours a week it needs, and whether you have that time for the whole length of it.
- Check how much data it uses. Videos use a lot; ask whether there is a download or text version, or use free Wi-Fi where you can.
- Finish it. A finished course with a certificate is worth more on a CV than three started ones.
- When you finish, add it to your CV with the name, who gave it, and the month you finished.
If there is an interview or a test
- If there is a test to get in, ask what it covers and practise with any free sample they give.
All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.
