How Groupon Could Change or Boost Your Career

One of the biggest issues I hear raised by people wanting to change career is “I’m not qualified to do anything else” to which my usual reply is for them to train to do something different, often this is followed by the response ‘it’s too expensive for me to retrain’.  If this is your reason then discount website Groupon could just be the solution.  The site offers discounts based on the principle of bulk buying and requires you to sign-up which this is free to do.

Once signed-up, among the restaurant and spa weekend offers, Groupon regularly throws up some excellent professional courses at greatly discounted prices.  Recent courses include Prince 2 Foundation Project Management for £199 compared to the £499 + VAT if bought directly from course provider SPOCE.  Other courses currently available include SAGE IAB in book keeping for £59 a saving of 85% on the normal £399, ITIL Project Management with exam for £169 a saving of 72% and possibly the best deal the incredible £2,661 or 96% saving on a CISCO Certified Network IT Trainer course, available for a measly £99.  Other bargain courses offered over the last year have included website design and TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

All of these courses are carried out online, which may not suit everybody’s learning style although on the plus side most courses allow 12 months to complete, which should give anyone plenty of time to qualify.  So if you’re looking for a change of career or just want to add your CV in order to boost promotion prospects get signed up to Groupon.
