Tuition-Free Computer and IT Training for Non-Profit Employees
Dear Non-Profit Employee,
Most non-profit employees want to improve their computer skills.
However, high cost of training and a busy schedule have held them back.
Now, the National Education Foundation (NEF) CyberLearning, a non-profit
organization, dedicated to bridging the "Digital Divide," offers the Nation's
non-profit employees a unique opportunity. With the support of
Microsoft and others, NEF CyberLearning is now able to offer full tuition
scholarships of $2,000 to the first 10,000 applicants, thus enabling them
to take any or all of the 400+ Internet-based online personal computing and
computer professional courses from anywhere at any time.
The high-quality, user-friendly courses are either self-study or instructor-led.
They cover all levels and almost all topics, including Computer Basics,
Internet Basics, Web Design Basics, Networking Basics, Programming Basics,
A+, Network+, MCSE, CNE, Microsoft Office, MOUS, WordPerfect, Lotus,
Operating Systems, Windows, Windows 2000, Linux, Unix, Networking, WAN,
LAN, Programming, Java, C++, Visual Basics, Internet, Web Design,
Web Applications, Web Master, E-commerce, Databases, Oracle and Cisco.
To sign up, just visit www.cyberlearning.org, click on "Free IT Training,"
complete the application and pay a nominal registration fee of $75 with
an organization/personal credit card. This $75 is your only cost, since the
tuition is free for you. Many non-profit organizations reimburse the $75.
You can receive immediate access to all 400+ online courses, an online
library of the latest 1,000+ computer/information technology books,
instructor assistance, course-specific chat areas and round the clock
technical support.
Please feel free to forward this information to interested colleagues
and others in non-profit organizations. If your department or division wants
to sign up a group of employees, please indicate so in your reply and provide
contact information. If you received this e-mail, it is because you are listed
as a contact person or employee of a non-profit organization.
If you do not wish to receive any further scholarship information from us,
please reply with the message, "remove" in the Subject line. Thank you.

"I have found the CyberLearning online courses to be extremely easy and useful.
I liked pre-course self-assessment and IT books online and available 24/7. The
course screens were interactive and made me feel as if I was in the application
itself. The site looks and feels very professional. The list of courses is huge.
It includes something for almost everyone. I find this to be a very worthy cause."
