Summertime has historically been a break time from “going to class”, but if you want to keep your design skills fresh, it’s never break time. To help direct our design friends, we’ve compiled this handy list of online course resources to check out to either learn new or refresh a few skills. Here we go!

udemyUdemy

One of our favorite online course sites is Udemy. There are plenty of design courses about almost anything, design-wise. We even have our very own Udemy course on how to make infographics. If you want to stray away from design, you can also learn things like yoga, programming, cake decorating and whatever else you can think of. Each class has it’s own price, ranging from free to over $100/course. Udemy also has a handy app so you can learn wherever, whenever. If you’d like to take our course, use promo code JUNE at udemy.com/infographics until the end of this month for 25% off. Who says reading blog posts doesn’t ever get you anything? 🙂

Each week, a batch of lessons is delivered to your inbox to dive into on your own time. This is great for the beginner and pro alike, and you don’t necessarily have to be a developer to enjoy the content.  P.S. It’s FREE.

Each lifetime access classes varies in price. Some classes are free, but most range around $20-25.
