Discover the Best Life Skills Classes Online

The term “life skills” encompasses a wide range of capabilities that make your life easier. These skills include everything from the ability to repair things around the house to cooking yourself a healthy meal. If you have a rip in your shirt, you can use your sewing skills to fix the hole instead of throwing the shirt away. Knowing how to handle your emotions is also considered a life skill as it helps you navigate complex relationships with ease. Everyone has life skills, but it is always beneficial to learn new skills as well.

Why You Should Learn Life Skills Online

For day-to-day life to go smoothly, you are likely going to need a few skills. When you have these skills, you can navigate issues more thoroughly and make better decisions as a result. For example, imagine that you have a leaky faucet. You are faced with two options: call in a professional or learn how to fix it yourself. Learning how to fix an everyday item in your house is not only a way to save money, but can also feel like a great accomplishment.

Additionally, some life skills are transferable skills. For example, if you consider yourself a proficient public speaker, you may be able to advance in your career more quickly. On the other hand, some life skills are just a great way to make new connections and relationships. If you can cook a nice meal for a friend or romantic partner, they will likely see that as a kind gesture and be impressed with your abilities. There are numerous life skills that we learn throughout the years, but there is always room for more growth.

Virtual Life Skills Classes 

If you are unable to find in-person classes in your area, or you prefer learning from the comfort of your own home, then consider enrolling in a live virtual life skills class. That way, you can learn as many life skills as you wish without disrupting your daily routine too much.

With a virtual life skills class, you can choose from different options taught anywhere throughout the country. When you save time and money on your commute, you have that much time left over to practice your newly acquired life skills.

You will often provide your supplies with an online class, but your instructor will provide a list of necessary materials that you can easily find at a nearby store or any online seller. Once you order your supplies, you can get started learning your new skill. CourseHorse has a wide variety of online life skills classes to choose from.

The Suite RT Center offers a New York State Defensive Driving course that reviews safe driving tips and provides an overview of the traffic laws in New York state.

Ensure you have a strong internet connection, as this course is conducted over the Zoom platform.

Do you enjoy writing but aren’t confident in your ability? Have you ever dreamt of writing a memoir or novel? Consider enrolling in the Creative Writing Weekly course offered by The Writing Studio. In this course, you will be able to produce well-written work that is creative, engaging, and cohesive. This ongoing, weekly class allows you to explore your voice within your writing and uses a variety of methods to inspire the creative process. Class sizes are small, so you can meet with other dedicated aspiring writers and receive feedback from them as well as the instructor.

The AutoCAD: User Interface and Basic Drawing course is a training program for the AutoCAD software which recreates an in-person classroom experience in a remote environment. In this course, you will learn how to access commands, understand the Cartesian workspace, and create basic drawing and editing commands. Additionally, the software and class exercises are provided, and you will be able to share your screen with the instructor for more in-depth assistance with these exercises. Basic computer skills are a prerequisite, as well as a general knowledge of design principles and computer-aided drafting.

It is understandable if you are a little apprehensive about becoming a first-time parent. The Becoming Parents: What You Really Need to Know course will provide you with all the information you may need to provide your newborn with the best care possible. The class covers standard yet important topics such as how to establish a schedule, balance different familial needs, and understand your newborn's temperament and behavior. After taking this class, you will find peace of mind in the first few months of your child’s life.

Have you always dreamt of starting a garden, but are afraid you don’t have enough space? The Chicago Botanic Garden offers a Small Space Garden Design course intended to help you utilize your space’s full potential. You will learn how to design a garden and discover which planting methods are best suited for your space. The course also covers plant selection and routine maintenance that your plants will likely require.

Regardless of your career path, you will be required to share your thoughts, opinions, and concerns in a healthy way. Enrolling in the Essential Communication Skills course sets you apart from the rest by focusing on your content, delivery, and professional interactions. This workshop is highly interactive, so expect brief lectures from the instructor followed by ample skill-building exercises. You will be able to refine your communication skills so that you can advance in your career by speaking with conviction. 

Private Online Group Life Skills Classes

Private online group classes bring any life skills class to your group or event, no matter your location. Are you interested in scheduling a life skills class as a team-building activity for your business or organization? Maybe you are looking for a fun way to interact with your friends at a party. CourseHorse offers life skills classes for private groups online that can be delivered straight to you with ease and can be personalized for any occasion.

Sign up for the Virtual Knife Skills Workshop to learn an essential kitchen lesson. In this course, your group will safely learn how to slice, dice, julienne, and more. To learn as much as possible, consider using a variety of vegetables, such as onions, carrots, potatoes, peppers, and garlic. This skill is not only highly necessary but can be rather impressive when preparing a meal for a loved one.

Now more than ever, it is important to distinguish fact from fiction. In Virtual Trivia: Real vs Fake News, your group will learn vital skills needed to dive into the intricacies of media and news coverage. This course focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic, but the skills are transferable to almost any other situation covered by the media. This trivia experience tests your prior knowledge and provides you with useful information that will help you parcel out the truth from the lies.

Who doesn’t love a fresh, delicious cookie? In the interactive Virtual Cookie Workshop, your group will not only have fun while learning a new skill but the materials are shipped right to your door for your convenience. After enrolling in this workshop, you will be able to wow others with your ability to bake two mouthwatering cookie recipes: classic chocolate chip and tangy lemon crinkles. A professional chef leads the interactive workshop, so you are sure to get the best results while learning useful tips and tricks.

There is no need to prepare for your course beforehand. CourseHorse happily ships the necessary supplies to each participant. For an additional $150 fee, your group can customize their experience with additional games or materials. These customizations can make your experience more personalized and, therefore, enjoyable.

Booking private courses with CourseHorse is straightforward. You do not need an exact group size when you book – as long as the minimum requirement is met, you can add or subtract people until a week before your event. An added bonus is the lack of booking fees. Plus, you will receive a confirmation within 24 hours of your reserved class.

CourseHorse recommends using Zoom for your classes, but they can accommodate Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx. Plus, many courses can even come to your home or office if that is preferable for your group. If you want more information on available options, CourseHorse encourages you to reach out to them via the contact form on their website.

Online vs. In-Person Life Skills Classes

Both online and in-person life skills classes have their advantages. On the one hand, having access to an in-person class within your community allows you to meet other like-minded individuals. Aside from the social aspects, you will likely learn more detailed and specific information in an in-person class. Having an instructor who can illustrate the correct way to do things and help fix errors is an added benefit as opposed to having a lack of feedback as you would in some online or self-guided courses.

On the other hand, many people do not have access to in-person classes near their homes. You can easily learn from self-help books or guided tutorials, but you are left on your own when you have trouble understanding the next steps. Online classes fill this void by providing live, expert teachers who assist you in your learning journey every step of the way. Plus, it is still possible to meet new people and make connections in online classes.

When choosing a life skill class, consider your experience level as well as the experience level of the instructor. You should also consider whether materials are provided or if you will have to acquire them yourself. Additionally, you must assess whether you have ample workspace and bandwidth to learn your desired skill. Lastly, it is vital to take into account what your schedule is like and if this online class can meet your needs.

Can I Learn Life Skills for Free Online?

You can find free resources online, such as tutorials, manuals, and videos. These are great supplemental resources. However, if you want a more in-depth approach to learning and prefer direct feedback, traditional classes with an expert are recommended. Although you can learn certain life skills for free online, formal training with an expert is the most effective way to learn the skill more efficiently and accurately.
