Massive discounts on online courses
For a lot of people, summer in Qatar means a couple of things: high temperatures and lots of free time. While this combo can result in boredom and laziness, there’s no reason it should! Summers can be a time for relaxing but also learning and developing yourself personally and professionally.
We know there’s a list of things you have always wanted to try your hand at, but haven’t got the time or opportunity to do so. It might include learning a language, baking a new dessert, mastering a computer software, or even gaining knowledge about something that interests you – like criminology or reflexology.
So how do you start ticking these things off your list? It may be difficult to find a course in Doha that teaches the skill you want to learn. If you do find and enroll in a class, it can be a fun and productive option, but also expensive, time-consuming, and challenging to manage if you have other responsibilities.
Online courses are a great alternative, since you can purchase and follow at your own pace, and from the comfort of your own couch or desk. UrbanPoint.com has partnered with a number of accredited international learning institutions to offer online learning to Qatari residents.
The great news is that the courses are being offered at MASSIVE discounts. It’s a win-win situation…international institutions gain exposure and entry into the Qatari market, while Qatari residents get to enjoy up-to 90% discounts on handpicked online courses.
So whether you are a stay-at-home mother, a working professional, or just looking for something to do in your free time, check out this amazing collection of online courses.
