A tech skill class is more than just a sampler¡ªit¡¯s a stress-free way to explore while learning
We¡¯ve all been there: You¡¯re curious about a career in tech, or maybe just adding some new tech skills to your repertoire, but committing to a full-on tech training course feels¡ intense. Enter the free tech skill class.
Our live online (and did we mention FREE?) tech skill classes are designed to give you a no-pressure preview of in-demand skills in AI, coding, UX design, and data. No experience needed. No credit card required. Just sign up, show up, and see what clicks. Plus, you might make a connection or two.
A free tech skill class gives you one to two hours of instructor-led learning, real-world scenarios, and (most importantly) the chance to try it out before you buy into anything bigger. Because figuring out your path shouldn¡¯t come with a monthly subscription or a huge upfront cost.
Here¡¯s what you can expect from your first class
Let¡¯s set the scene: You register for a free tech skill class. The day comes. You join the live Zoom webinar from anywhere with an internet connection. And instead of being talked at for an hour, you¡¯re solving a real-world problem alongside an expert instructor.
Most free tech skill classes include a hands-on component. You¡¯ll analyze a dataset, sketch out a user experience, build your first AI prompt¡ªwhatever matches the topic. It¡¯s fast-paced (because we¡¯re packing a lot in), but digestible. You¡¯ll even get the recording after, so you can revisit anything you missed.
Expect interaction, chat participation, and that satisfying ¡°aha¡± moment that only comes from actually doing the thing¡ªnot just watching someone else talk about it.
Not sure if you¡¯re ready? That¡¯s kind of the point
The beauty of a tech skill class is that it meets you where you are. Curious but clueless? Great. Dipping your toe before a bigger investment? We love it.
There¡¯s no pre-work, no ¡°technical background required¡± disclaimer. Just real, accessible skill-building designed to help you figure out if this is your thing¡ªor not. (And if it¡¯s not? Cool. You didn¡¯t waste a bunch of time and money figuring it out.)
The focus is on progress, not pressure. So whether you¡¯re testing the waters or already eyeing a full career shift, this is your chance to try something new without the commitment hangover.
What happens after your class? You¡¯ve got options
If you leave your tech skill class thinking, ¡°Wait, that was actually fun¡±¡ªthat¡¯s when you might want to take the next step.
Try a workshop. These sessions range from single, three-hour sessions, to two-day sessions, and go further into a specific topic. With a workshop, you¡¯ll get real-time support, a digital badge for your resume, and a confidence boost to boot.
Still into it? Enroll in a short course. With 40 hours of instruction (either part-time or full-time), real-world projects, and career-relevant experience, these courses build up your portfolio¡ªand give you something tangible to show off.
And if you’re ready to go all-in on a career change? Bootcamps are your fast-track to a whole new tech career, complete with career services and job-search support built in.
Pro tip: The cost of a workshop rolls into the next step¡ªso your progress (and your payment) keeps moving forward.

Your new skill (or career) starts with a free tech skill class
The truth is, no blog post¡ªno matter how witty or well-structured¡ªcan show you what it¡¯s like to learn a new tech skill. The only way to know? Try it for yourself.
A free tech skill class is your launchpad. Whether you¡¯re aiming for a full pivot or just looking to understand what all the AI fuss is about, this is where it starts.
No fluff. No pressure. No commitment. Just a window into a new possibility.
