Lifelong learning is a value many hold dear. Learning continues no matter how old we get, and consumers now live in a time when most people have several careers before they retire. This means new learning is needed to make these career changes effectively. For others that are looking for investment opportunities in addition to their regular job, there is always the need to learn more about the market, finance, economics, business and marketing. The internet has offered access to free online courses for years but the quality and quantity of the courses available has changed dramatically over that time. Free online courses today allow students to obtain levels of education many only dream about without paying tuition, or course fees. The major drawback is that at the end of your studies you don't receive a diploma. There is little doubt that massive open online courses (MOOCs) are changing the face of education. These free courses provided by elite universities are providing a path for many towards acquiring advanced, sophisticated skills and high-paying jobs without paying tuition or obtaining a college degree. The universities offering MOOCs are some of the nation's top schools. You can take courses alongside some of the brightest minds in the world, and benefit greatly from the network you develop that includes professors and students alike. Universities involved in offering massive open online courses include MIT, Yale, UC Berkeley, Duke, UCLA, Harvard, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon University. Courses cover most common disciplines and include: energy, environment, medicine, engineering, computer sciences, language, music, art, math, science, English, finance, economics and more. There are several for profit companies that offer courses for private sector students and other that focus on the business sector. These for profit online learning companies tend to focus on a specific niche and they charge for the courses they offer. Online educational companies like SmartPros, a leading provider of accredited professional education and training for major firms and fortune 500 companies, focus on developing and delivering specialized training to businesses. SmartPros offers courses in accounting, finance, legal and ethics, HR and compliance, engineering, health and safety, and information technology. The experience and broad educational offerings including e-learning courses, live webinars and live seminars that make this company one of the best online educational providers for business.
