Reputable training providers for opening an online business

mapleleaf1010

I'd like to have an online business as a second source of income and be able to work from home.

I haven't decided what kind of business I want yet, so, I will need to explore some options.

Do you know of any reputable training providers (distance learning)?

Any particular courses you recommend?

Cheers

Try Open University. I read in another post on here that they do some free online courses in various stuff.

Nothanks

If it were easy, everyone would do it.

Suggest deciding what you're good at, what skills do you have to build on?

I've worked with hundreds of businesses over the years, exactly none of them has started with "I want to work from home, let's find a course".

Sorry if this sounds harsh, I just don't want you to waste your time. First step would be to write a list of all your "assets" - so skills, resources, network, time, what you enjoy. Then look at how they could potentially be monetised and any gaps in your knowledge or skills. THEN look for a course if necessary to bridge those gaps.

Just my 2p.

You need to have a viable business idea first, then analyse if its viable or not, then take guidance if required on how to develop it.
