Universal Class: Over 500 Online Certificate Courses
 

How To / DIY Classes

 
Many of our courses at Universal Class™ will fit in multiple categories but we decided to create a very, very general category called the "How To..." category; how to do something, how to make something, how to find something, how to start something. Of course, we have courses that are "how to" courses but don’t start with "how to" (are you confused yet?) so we also mixed in a few of those.

This is a great section to browse in because you never know what you'll find:  how to persuade, how to manage rental properties, how to solve word problems, how to become a mediator, how to plan a wedding, etc.  Enroll in one of these courses and you will be informed and inspired by our thought provoking lessons.
