This has been highlighted over in the deals section. But it really needs highlighting in freebies.
**I am giving full credit to alex-_ for the heads up on this one**
Shaw Academy are currently offering (for the next 23 hours) 12 different courses for FREE including:
Digital Marketing
Financial Trading
Photography
Personal Nutrition
Social Media Marketing
Web Development
Graphic Design
Sports Nutrition
Mobile App Development
Diet and Weight Loss
Light Room
Photoshop.
I have signed up for the photography in the past couple of hours for £1.99 (I now feel highly ripped off). This is merely to prevent any others doing so :)
Click the link in BuzzDuraband's post above "in this thread" then follow the link from there.
Don't be getting too excited though, I don't think an employer would be impressed with these on a CV.

No, you would have to use different name/email addresses/mobile numbers then you could

I did their Financial Trading course about six months ago. It certainly focused me on share trading.
Make sure you keep well away from fx trading. Even the experts can lose six figures with fx. Leeson was an expert & look what happened to him.

So what is the difference between the £1.99 digital photography and the free one.? Is it just you don't get a diploma at the end?

Yeah, I'm curious too... Joined and received an email but didn't see this "30 day trial". After seeing your post I've checked email again and yeah, have same information in there. Anyone?

If you login to your account it says temporary account and gives an expiry date 30 days after the date you selected your course to start, I think this is due to them giving you 1 free course and this is completed within these 30 days. They can't charge you after the 30 days as you haven't entered any payment details

These courses are a great way to top up on knowledge - however I did find them a little lacking, but my thoughts on any training is that if you take one thing away from them you can use then it's well worth doing. I did on both courses taken.

I've just found this link http://www.shawacademy.com/learning/?product=one4all&lang=en#courses which is providing the freebies.
