TeK tip: 15 free courses you can take online to learn during quarantine

What to do with so much free time? More than ever, this issue has arisen for many Portuguese, at a time when spending so much time at home means not wasting time on family outings or, on the negative side, in traffic. To make the most of these exceptional days, we have put together in this article several free online courses that demonstrate that it is possible to get more knowledge without leaving home and without spending money.

From programming to explanations on how to keep your business in a full state of emergency due to COVID-19, the options are many and come from Portugal and abroad. This week we have already shared some initiatives that want to make quarantine a more productive period, among any online programming courses for children locked at home by Teckies or the free Ironhack webinars that challenge the Portuguese.

Online courses and webinars may have an established start date, but in some cases, this option may be the user's own choice. Thus, it is not always necessary to wait for a specific day to start learning more about what interests you and topics that, often, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you do not have time to delve into.

Stay abreast of the various online courses that SAPO TeK has compiled. If you have more to add send an email!
