A tech skill class is more than just a sampler—it’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—whatever 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—not 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—or 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”—that’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—and 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—so your progress (and your payment) keeps moving forward.
Ready to try your first tech skill class?
Here’s your to-do list:
- Pick a free class—or two or three—that sounds interesting
- Register (it’s free and only takes an email)
- Show up and get your hands dirty (virtually speaking)
- Decide if this skill has main-character potential
That’s it. You don’t need a five-year plan to start a 90-minute class. You just need an open tab and a little curiosity.
Your new skill (or career) starts with a free tech skill class
The truth is, no blog post—no matter how witty or well-structured—can 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.
Start with one class. Then take the next step when you’re ready. Or don’t. But at least now you’ll know.
