International Day of Cooperatives

International Day of Cooperatives is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in July. It aims to increase awareness of cooperatives and highlight their work to make the world equal and sustainable.

In Barbados, our cooperatives include the focus on agriculture and food production; transport; manufacturing and renewable energy.

These NTI Coursera courses will help you develop and improve your skills in these areas.

Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)

I'm a bit lost. How can I get help?

You’re not alone on the NTI-Coursera platform. If you feel stuck or need help at any point, contact us here or contact our e-learner support desk at (246) 232-8566.

How can I find enough time to study?

One way to commit to your free Coursera online classes is to make a schedule that includes a reasonable amount of time to focus on studying. Here’s something we like to try: Give up that favourite series or social media scrolling for just 30 minutes a day. Start with that, see how much you can get done in that time, and adjust your time accordingly. You can even set a reminder on your phone daily or weekly so that you don’t miss your window to study.

How do I collect my certificate when I finish a course?

All course certificates are easily downloadable after completion. You can save them to your computer, share them on your social media pages, or print them to have them handy to showcase the achievement of your new skills.
