Microsoft is leaving students no excuse for not learning how to use their products.  Free Learning clinics are available for any user type, whether advanced or just beginning.   The clinics are online-based courses and lessons (CBT) which simulate being taught by a pro.  For people like me, they are a great alternative to opening up a book and reading about the software as the interactive courses keep you interested (to a point) while you learn.   The interface for the clinics is simple to use and easy to understand while also granting a right amount of versatility.  You can select which course you want to take right on the spot, or add it to your basket and take them at a later time.  To properly use the courses you will be required to download a browser add-on and restart your computer.

  Here are some of the Free clinics that stood out to me, but are a ton more that are readily available.   Become A Windows Expert
