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.

Improve Your CV

If you’re a young professional looking to enter a certain field or industry, you can pick training courses in areas like human resources, personal and teaching assistantship, and event management.

Pick up a new hobby – or 2

It’s good to relax in your down time, but it’s even more fun to engage in something you are interested in and can work towards getting better at. You can browse through the hobbies courses, and discover what your next hobby, which could be baking, yoga, cooking, cartooning or juicing your blender!
