These courses can help you learn a new skill from almost anywhere

Some people say new year, new you. And what better way to mix things up than by learning new skills.

The first few months of 2019 are the perfect time to try new things and maybe learn a program or technique that you've wanted to know.

From learning to use a DSLR camera, mastering the shortcuts of Excel or even the basics of Adobe, many virtual classes make it simple (with you putting some effort in, of course). The significant benefit of online courses? You choose the pace and pick the time. It gives you the ultimate flexibility as you choose when a class is in session.

Not to mention, online classes allow you to rewind if the instructor is going too fast and to do as much or as little as you want each session. Another core advantage would be the cost savings, which can be pretty large.

This week we're featuring several classes on sale at the CNN Store that makes it easy to check "new year, new skill" on your resolution list. Many of these include a completion certificate from Continuing Professional Development, which can act as proof that you have completed the training.
