Freelancing has become popular in emerging markets because of the high salary levels, flexible working hours and the freedom to work on projects that you are passionate about. However, freelancing can also be a very lonely journey in where you can get stuck on problems all alone. This causes frustration, lost projects and missed opportunities.

CodersTrust has long been training freelancers in classrooms in Dhaka to upgrade their skills, so they can earn more money on freelance portals. But CodersTrust is now offering live support, live office hours, online classes and video courses to everyone in Bangladesh on the internet. This online feature is opening a new era of low-cost courses for the masses without sacrificing the proven quality of CodersTrust’s content. We are even offering the paid programs (30 USD monthly subscription) for free on a trial period so students get a taste of their platform and start their paths in becoming professional freelancers.

The self-paced learning style of online video lectures is more tailored to individual needs than the traditional one-size-fits-all classroom training. Students can get help from mentors and their student peers whenever they desire, and they can watch lectures as many times as they need to.

Furthermore, CodersTrust’s online educational program focuses on applicable skills freelancers need to be employed by international clients, rather than the academic content that is offered by local universities. To get a job as an online freelancer has a lot less to do with which University you attended or what your grades were, and a lot more to do with what you can actually get done. With CodersTrust, the students can build up a reputation of ratings & reviews from different freelance sites, which is the most valuable asset you can own in today’s digital world. With a proven reputation, transparency and credibility it is possible to ask for a higher salary because people from all over the world have a reason to trust you.

We offer our free and paid programs to get more students online and show the return on investment from education as increased salary on freelance portals. Our ultimate vision is to provide student finance to all freelancers in Bangladesh, since it is both an amazing life changing opportunity for the youth and a profitable business for financial institutions. CodersTrust is currently funding students in Korail slum that would not otherwise be able to pay for this level of education. But this is just the beginning. With more students enrolling in the online program we will be able to roll out our financial service and activate thousands of people to enroll in online courses to learn the skills and build the trust to become a part of the online labor market.

A hybrid Classroom is still needed:

But can virtual learning ever fully replace in-person learning? CodersTrust is currently working on a mobile classroom project to be rolled out in rural and slum areas around the world. Their objective is to provide the introductory courses before students from impoverished areas are ready to take full online courses and start earning money from the freelance portals. Watch the video here:

Everything is managed and controlled from CodersTrust Operational HQ in Dhaka where a live team of 10 award winning mentors — with a proven track-record on the top 10 freelance sites in the world — are ready to help anyone showing up on the website.

CodersTrust is also licensing world-class content from leading international course providers in the world. So ultimately students are receiving the best available content along with the most experienced mentors on one platform.
