Freeskills.com Launches With Over 100 Free Online Training Courses
 
Today sees the start of a revolution in online training with the launch of Freeskills.com at http://www.freeskills.com. Created by Visualsoft UK Ltd., freeskills.com is a totally free Internet-based training site offering a wide range of training courses with no charge whatsoever to the user.
Currently the site features I.T.  courses ranging from MS Word 97 Essentials, right through to NT 4.0 Systems Support, MS SQL Server and Novell Netware design, with new and updated courses being added all the time, Visualsoft are not limiting the site to I.T.

Users of Freeskills.com are greeted by a simple and clear Home Page. One click takes them to the list of subjects.

Richard Bendelow, Company Director, says "The freeskills.com slogan is "open your mind without opening your wallet!" Our primary objective is to provide free training to the millions of people without the financial or time resources needed to attend an instructor-led training course. With free access to Microsoft, Novell and many other authorised certification courses, freeskills.com can also be used to study for qualifications in computing such as MCSE, MCSD, CNE or MCP.
 
Richard continues, "There are other companies saying they offer free online training but will only give away the first chapter of a course and then want payment for the rest. freeskills.com is different because it is 100% free from any charge at all. An extra bonus for users is that the site is simple and uncluttered and we have worked very hard to ensure that each page download time is kept to an absolute minimum".
 
Users of freeskills.com are greeted by a simple and clear Home Page. One click takes them to the list of subjects, a further click takes them to the course list and a final click straight into the course of their choice.  Navigation aids and tables of contents guide them through the complete course. The site also offers the opportunity for courseware authors to add their material to the course list.

There is no user registration required to use freeskills.com. Visitors simply enter the site and choose from the list of up-to-date training topics which range from the basics of computing to help the absolute beginner get started to providing enough technical detail to aid computing professionals in their day-to-day work. Summed up, freeskills.com caters for all those who want or need to learn and want to do it free of charge.
 
Visualsoft UK Ltd was formed in 1998 and consists of three business partners, Richard Bendelow, Dean Benson and Steve Meredith, our objective is to provide online training that everyone can afford.
