MANILA — The University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) is offering once again 24 free online courses that are open to everyone year-round.

The courses include business analytics concepts and frameworks, graphic design, scriptwriting for educational videos, video editing, and gender sensitivity training.

The online courses can be finished at one's own pace. 

Those who complete the courses will receive an e-certificate that they can put in their resume "as a 16-hour training," according to the UPOU.

Those with Massive Open Distance eLearning (MODeL) accounts can self-enroll in the online courses on the UPOU's homepage.

Applicants who do not have a MODeL account yet could follow the steps here.
