The government asked us to stay at home safely and providing
the most useful free online courses with certification which helps our
career. However, most of the Indians are not aware of the offer. That’s why we
are putting down the details of those websites and the free online education courses here. Have a look and choose what

few of them are not certificate-based courses, yet useful. Also, you can find

More than 500 courses are available and you can choose any
number of courses to enroll. There’s no limit for learning and Swayam knows it!

long. If you are the one who is already working from home or busy with household
chores, choose one and then another. You have that choice after all!

Many people can’t just get the essence of the course
completely as they have a problem in understanding English. Swayam came up with

languages which should be appreciated.
