World class free online short courses to help our awesome women to improve the quality of their lives
Welcome to the JVW Life Academy ...
I'm Janine Van Wyk, and together with your school and the team at The StartUp Tribe we have created this academy filled with lots of world class short practical online courses to help you in life, at work and at home.
Whether you are a parent wanting to learn how to prepare your kids for a modern world, want to learn first aid, how to start (or grow) a business, need help finding your first clients, want to write a CV or are struggling to cope, you will find help in here.
Of course no online course is going to solve all your problems! But we hope that with these short practical resources you will find the inspiration as to what you can do to start improving your quality of life. We are constantly adding new courses so check in from time to time.
What makes these courses different? These are short (15-25 mins) online practical courses to get you started. They are not formal academic courses. They are created by some of the world's leading experts. No ads. No subscriptions. Just an awesome learning experience... but we hope that they serve an important function in your own journeys, namely to get you started towards owning your own destiny!
There are no costs. No ads. No subscriptions to buy in this academy. Because we want you to have a learning experience free from commercial pressures. And yes. Free to you, family and friends and the whole community: because we want everyone to have a better quality of life!
Enjoy!
