Let me ask you a question. If you could learn any skill in one hour, what would it be?

HubSpot Academy (HubSpot's training division) is one of those online providers that offers entirely free education.

If you're hoping to learn new skills related to professional development, career, or business, then HubSpot Academy is a great place to start. Side note: If you're looking to improve your virtual golf game, you may want to look elsewhere.
