Learning new things has never been so easy!
FITech offers several open online courses called MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course). These are online courses that can be studied by masses without restrictions to amounts of participants or schedules. FITech MOOCs are meant for everyone wanting to get to know the basic terminology of the field of ICT. MOOCs can be studied by anyone, but in order to obtain study credits and the FITech digital badge, one must have a Finnish personal identity code.
