When's the last time you made a paper airplane?
Its been a while for me, too! So when I surfed 
to LearnFree.com and spied the "Backwards Airplane" 
course, I just had to try it. For each of the courses,
LearnFree.com gives you a choice of three formats:
(1) a quick read with just the basic points; (2) a 
deep read, text with photos and video clips; and
(3) the video view, with full-length video instruction.
And of course, its all free and online.

In addition to paper airplane making, 
here's what you can learn:

- Decorating Your Home
- Learn CPR
- Learn Origami
- Learn Sushi
- Learn Swing Dance
- Native American Heritage
- Native American Healing
- Swimming for Toddlers
- Teach Your Kids to Golf
- Training Your Dog

Oh yes, how did my paper airplane turn out? 
Unfortunately, the cat ate the first one (honest!)
so had to go through the whole process twice, but in
the end the airplane actually flew . . . until the
cat . . . well, you know.

These are fun, easy and quick courses for all ages
and you can even print out a certificate of completion
when finished.

FreeKills - Home of Free Online Training
"open your mind without opening your wallet!"

FreeSkills' primary objective is to provide free

With free access to Microsoft, Novell and many other
authorized certification courses, FreeSkills.com can
also be used to study for qualifications in computing
such as MCSE, MCSD, CNE or MCP.

The courses are delivered online via Adobe Acrobat
Reader with no registration required. Categories
available right now include:

- Databases
- Beginners Guides

While these courses do not incorporate any
multimedia enhancements, they do include graphics,
examples and exercises. And each course includes a
hyperlinked table of contents so you can start at any
point or review lessons as you like.

Free education - its a good thing!

Workshop and Seminar Secrets
http://www.howto4u.com/
Have you ever wanted to teach a workshop or
lead a seminar but are too nervous to talk in
front of other people? Or maybe you just need help
in planning and presenting your workshop. Jan Noyes
has created a manual titled "How to Create and Present
a Successful Workshop" available at her website, along
with workshop and public speaking resources plus a
selection of free training tips.

The BizSTOP
http://www.theBizSTOP.com
I recommend a visit to Canada's newest community
site for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Official launch of the site is scheduled for October
4, but you can get a sneak preview now.

The BizSTOP is divided into the following eleven core
business sections and within each of these sections you
will find resources for training and networking, as well
as mini-courses, relevant business tools and links
to more resources.

- Marketing
- Customer Service
- International Business
- Sales
- Human Resources
- Your Business and the Law
- Business Startup/Expansion
- Operations and Management
- Finances
- Presentation Skills  
- Quality

While this site utilizes primarily Canadian
content, much of the information is relevant
to entrepreneurs and small business owners
everywhere.

Business mentoring is also available to help
you with particular business operations and
management. Mentor profiles may be viewed at
the BizSTOP Mentor page and you can just send
an email to connect with the mentor you'd like
to work with.

There's an incredible amount of information
available at this site and its well worth the
2 minutes it takes to register.

Speaking of mentoring, here's a couple of
more resources:

My Mentor Consortium
http://www.mymentor.com
The Mentor Consortium is an affiliation of
North American professionals who provide counsel
and related services to individuals, independent
companies, government and institutes of higher
education. Register for free membership and find
your perfect mentor-match for business, career or
personal growth. Or apply to become a mentor.

SCORE
Counsellors to America's Small Business
http://www.score.org/

to receive free email counselling (available to U.S.
