Not sure if resources from inbound marketing are useful but I've been taking a look at sales as a whole if ever I will start a business. Been taking courses on HubSpot Academy to expand my knowledge about sales automation (this is a relatively new term so for more information about automation you can read more about it on elsewhere) inbound marketing (something you should definitely look into if you want leads to come in, and the sales pipeline in general.

Here's the link of the course: https://academy.hub-spot.com/courses/inbound-sales

Don't trust marketing automation - the best rule of sales is to disqualify early so you focus on the people who are likely to spend money with you as you are fixing one of their current biggest issues.

Not sure how useful / good these are but Purple Griffon training have some free quizzes for a variety of different certifications that may be of interest to people who want to get an idea of maybe the language used in exams, or what sort of things they ask about:

Can anyone recommend an ITIL v4 Foundation online training course? One of those self-paced courses would be good, but needs to be decent with videos etc.

Has anyone tried the Knowledge Academy online courses? Some heavy discounts at the mo. I've only tried their classroom training before so its a bit of an unknown to me.

Cheers

I've just signed up for this. I've used ILX courses before and found them to be quite decent.

Looks good, thanks

My kid (in year 7) wants to learn the basics of Python, as it's something they will be covering soon.
I'm not paying for CodeAcademy, as they'll be bored and onto something else next week (a bit like the guitar that got a few days play and then stuck in the cupboard)

Microsoft Learn has an Introduction to Python course, ~1hr, plus a follow-on. Looks like that'll do, but wondered if there's anything else out there worth looking at ?

Cheers.
