Hey skill seekers, this FREE class series is for you

General Assembly
September 12, 2024

Step right up, get in line—we’ve got five weeks of fast-paced, hands-on (did we mention, free?) classes coming up to take your tech skills from zero to 60 in our Skill Seeker Series. 

Who said you can’t get your skills and your thrills in one place?

Not only are we bringing back our popular five-part class series in data, UX design, and software engineering—new and improved, of course—we’ve also added two new classes for digital marketing and product management. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie who comes back each week to keep building on your skills, or you just want to join a single session for that quick skill fix, this free skills series will power your progress.

Sounds cool—when does it start?

Come back on Monday, September 16 when registration opens to save your seat for the sessions you’re interested in. If you’re already on our mailing list, you’ll get a first chance to save your spot—and if you want to join the mailing list, all you have to do is scroll to the bottom of this page and enter your email.

The sessions themselves will run every Monday through Thursday from September 30 through October 30, with most starting at noon. Speaking of time, no matter where you are in the world, you’ll be able to find a session that works for you. And if you can’t make it for any reason, don’t sweat it—as long as you’re registered, we’ll send the recordings via email at the end of the series.

Strap in for an exciting ride

We’ll start slow and steady with the basics—kind of like a “ferris wheel” to give you a general view of each topic–and each week you’ll build on your skills in data analytics, business, software engineering, and UX design until you work your way up to more advanced skills, aka the big rollercoaster. Check out the full lineup below:
