Summary
What kind of business is this
It's not easy for students to find reliable courses among a large number of training institutions. Corsidia has created a search page for each type of course and each city, and only lists institutions that have been screened. Students search and use for free, and institutions pay for the consultations they receive; another.org site is dedicated to free government-subsidized courses for the unemployed.
