[CW:MONTHLY] NewsU Tech

NewsU is excited to introduce a new slate of offerings called NewsU Tech.

It features an extensive portfolio of training courses from some of the leading technology companies, including Adobe, Microsoft, Corel and Quark. Whether you’re trying your hand at design or you’re interested in building your own Web site, there’s a NewsU Tech course that can help you get started.

But what if you want to get started but don’t have the program?

Don’t worry. Each module creates software simulations that give you a feel for working in the program. You'll explore how to use the program using audio, slideshows and offline activities, so you don’t have to buy it or install it.

NewsU Tech features two rates: unlimited access for 90 days or unlimited access for one year, with prices ranging from $39-$299. With your subscription, you get unlimited access to the course so you can come back as often as you like to sharpen your skills.
