Top five schools to become a digital nerd

Nowadays it’s essential to know the basics of technology, design and marketing. Fortunately, Toronto is a place to be as there are plenty of schools that will help you to become a tech savvy. Learn from the industry professionals and never miss that perfect job opportunity again. FYI, all schools on the list below have free workshops.

Brainstation – is located on King Street West with a cozy café on the ground floor where you can enjoy delicious drip coffee. Brainstation always invites the best professionals for the workshops. I’ve been to couple of them myself. One of my favourites was a workshop on SEO. It was very helpful with a lot of real life examples. So, if you are into marketing like me, you should check out Brainstaion.

Lighthouse Labs – is a co-working space. It is known for the amazing bootcamps for non-tech people who want to become developers. So, if you aim for Google or at least Pivotal Labs this is the right place to start with.

Bitmaker Labs – is similar to Brainstation but more tech oriented. I went to their intro to Web development and UX/UI workshops. Even though I had no experience in this field I was able to keep up with the assignments and got very good results at the end.  

Ladies learning code – is another pace where you can become a tech savvy. This school organises a lot of free workshops for ladies who want to code.

Lynda – last but not least is this online school. This is definitely my favourite on.  First of all, it’s an online course, and so you can chose the time that works the best for you. Second of all, Toronto Library card gives you free access to Lynda.com. I’ve already completed the entire Photography course, some Illustrator and Digital Marketing courses. So far, I’m 100 % satisfied with these online courses.
