Sponsored Video : Study for a new career at home

Sponsored Video Open Colleges.

Have you, in recent years, wanted to retrain, or study part-time to do something different?

I know I have, and while blogging involves constant studying to stay up to date, I’ve often been tempted to add on a course which would give me certified qualification – but I’ve just not got around to it, and mostly that’s been due to the concern that I wouldn’t be able to find a flexible course of study which would fit in with my life (and blogging).

And I’m pretty sure that many of you will probably have tinkered with similar ideas. Perhaps you’ve been working in the same job for many years, possibly a job that you might not even like that much? Perhaps you’ve reached the age when you think, “Well, now what? Surely there must be something else?”

And you have a bit more time to think about “You” now, rather than the needs of your family.

I think what we’re after as we get older is flexible learning, studying we can fit around our schedules, and something which could kick start a career change – or even a work-from-home scenario.

So if you’ve ever felt the desire to learn something new, have a look at the variety of courses offered by Open Colleges and see if there’s not something which might inspire you into action which could set you on a different course, and perhaps give you a new dream to pursue.

In the meantime, here are two video clips from women who are rocking it.
