The Northwest Education and Training Institute is providing everyone on the planet the chance to put their class online. Once your class is in our campus, you can invite students and start your own online university or charter school.

If you are a student or life long learner needing instruction on a specific topic, sign up now and ask. We will find you a highly qualified instructor who will let you into a class.

All this by entering your free registration at www.nweti.com

I must have been real busy, no posts in a long time. We have been working hard to gather up instructors and trainers for the Northwest Education and Training institute. Now, they are all working on getting their stuff together so students can sign up. It takes a while to ensure the quality of our instructors. Now, the problem is marketing the whole thing. It is so much fun just building resources and creating classes, I forget about getting the word out. I will never be good at that.

But, one exciting thing we just started is now we have a certified GED instructor to provide credit recovery and GED classes to help our youth meet the new requirements.

Now that spring is almost here, my classes on Horticulture should start getting busy. I am focusing on using native plants in the urban landscape, working from a book we helped a high school publish on native plants.

Still, anyone can request a topic for a class. We will find an instructor and a curriculum to meet the request.

Now, for a busy spring and summer; hopefully with lots of students taking advantage of our great classes.

Yourclassroom.com is growing. Now we have the Northwest Education and Training Institute at nweti.com; we have the Home Builders University at www.homebuildersuniversity.com; there are the homeschools and independent learning groups at schoolenrichment.org; we have our inhouse special classes at campus.yourclassroom.com; and of course there  is businessnorthwest.org for conferences and seminars.   Several more schools will be opening at the first of the year. Businesses and life long learners are taking charge of their learning activities, and reaching out to the best instructors they can find. Our best teachers are those who know there stuff the best and are willing to share.

Wonderearth partners is working with a variety of experts to bring to small businesses a to the point conference on the new world of carbon credits. Don’t miss this, go to http://www.businessnorthwest.org to get in and be ready

Life long learning is a great thing, I still can’t get enough of it myself.

Now, elements of life long learning are established by legislation, called Continuing Education Hours for contractor licensing.  In order to renew a large menu of licenses, businesses need to document these life long learning experiences.  I hate it when someone tells me I have to do something when it just seems right to begin with.

Anyway, yourclassroom.com is coming to the rescue of those micro businesses who are struggling with the escalating prices of these requirements.  Loss time on the job, high cost at the local college, the burdensome grant requirements and then the record keeping and budgeting.

Businesses training businesses is a good way to go, now we need to put it all into a fully functional management system to reduce loss time and costs.
