At Leerruimte in Rondebosch, learners often start with one short online course and finish it at a co-study desk. Set a weekly time slot, keep your phone on silent and write down one question after each lesson. Bring those questions to your tutor on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The positive power of education<\/h4>\n\n<p>A certificate can help with a job application, a TVET college place or a first small business. Many of our learners in Cape Town started with Everyday English Speaking and Grammar, then moved on to Excel or Digital Marketing for Small Businesses. Small steps add up. Ask Nomvula Khumalo at the front desk which course suits your goals and your budget.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many South African universities now share free online courses, and some are very good.
