If you've been looking for a place where you can develop new skills that will help you in your career or business, then you could check out the Saylor academy. It looks like a legitimate platform that offers courses and certificates in a variety of areas.

According to the website;

Saylor Academy is a nonprofit initiative working since 2008 to offer free and open online courses to all who want to learn. We offer nearly 100 full-length courses at the college and professional levels, each of which is available right now — at your pace, on your schedule, and free of cost.

There are many other platforms that one could learn useful skills online but how many of them are owned by Bitcoin bulls? Yeah, my interest in using the platform is based on the fact that it is a product of Michael Saylor and I'd like to tap into some of that knowledge there.

Well, yes, I know he didn't write all the courses but it is still nice to say it. Among the numerous courses on the platform that includes areas in Art, Economics, Biology, Chemistry, English language and many others, my interest is in the professional development section.

Under professional development, there are many other smaller unit of programs in that section and I have enrolled in a 42 hour long course in Business communication. At the end of the course, there will be an exam and if I score 70% or above, I will get a certificate that looks something like this;

Nowadays, certificates don't mean much, but considering how I'm looking to plot my escape from Nigeria, you never know when these things could come in handy. Also, the academy has partners in Wilmington University, New England university, Suny empire state college, Baker college and many others that acknowledge the credits you earn here.

Generally speaking, I think it is worth a shot for anyone looking to gain knowledge to improve their career or maybe just learn stuff for leisure.
