I thought about writing this article for two reasons.

The first is certainly because of the historical moment we are experiencing. We know what I’m talking about. Even the lucky ones complain.

Trying to always find the best side of things and to find a chance for growth in any situation, I thought I’d share this blog post with you.

Our profession as a Veterinary Technician, aka Biologist, Agronomist (etc.) requires continuous learning in our job, profession and science… in the world around us.

This introduces the second reason why I decided to write a blog post about where to find Free Online Courses.

The scientific landscape is constantly expanding-updating-changing and we, as scientists, have the moral obligation to keep up with it and never forget to look at the world with the curious eyes that we have always had and that, thanks to them, they pushed us towards our career.

Tips from assistenteveterinario.it

Technology has given us this huge advantage that we can follow lectures, webinars, college courses, conferences and much more entirely online.

Not everyone is a book lover. Fortunately, several platforms offer their free online training courses for veterinary professionals and technicians.

My preferred platform for taking free online training courses from excellent international Universities is Coursera.
