Skill Development, GuyanaI must say thank you so much for leading me down this path to achieve a great knowledge and understand of the program/courses that you had assigned to me. I must say I learned a great lot from this journey. I had some challenges but I’ve overcome them. Once again thank you so much for leading me down this path.
Sarafina Chung
Skill Development, GuyanaI’m pleased to say I completed my Lynda course successfully. I must say the playlist assigned was very helpful to me. I used it as a guide to each course, it showed when I started a new course and which ones were incomplete. Volunteering was super awesome!! It was my first experience, which I’m grateful for. I am thankful for my learning partner Amanda who updated me on all the volunteering activities and making sure I was there. I Must you are my motivation!

Skill Development, Fort CollinsWhen the Higher Education program first debuted a year or so ago, I didn’t see any reason to invest my time in it. I was given the right to give it a try, and now I’ll tell you how wrong I was. The Skill Development program from Lynda gives you a platform to create or build upon already existing skills, even if they aren’t work-related.
Kala Eisenhuth
Skill Development, JohnstownI have learned how to manage both work and courses. I have downtime at work and they allow me to work on it there as long as it does not interfere with my calls. I also take the time on the weekends to do more of the course. My advice would be to take the leap and use this resource that Qualfon has offered you! You will not regret it! It has been a lifesaver for me and helping me peruse my passion for teaching.
Ali Hamid
Skill Development, Fort CollinsI committed myself to go straight to the library right after work. Like a lot of people I am sure, when I get home I find a million and one other things to do. As such, I made sure studying is a priority and I that I was going to a study environment which minimized distractions.
Do a little bit every day. If you look at it as one big chunk then it will seem impossible. Even just 15 minutes a day will help you get in the groove.
