Discover the Best Life Skills Classes Near Me

A life skill is any skill that makes everyday life easier, more efficient, or more productive. These skills often make life more enjoyable as well. Certain life skills provide different things. Some are enriching whereas others may help you advance in your career. Other life skills are seen as desirable to romantic partners as well, so they serve as a bonus for your personal life.

Why You Should Learn Life Skills

In our modern world, it is all too easy to order food to our door or replace a torn shirt – all it takes is a simple push of a button. As a result, many people have lost vital skills that will help them navigate life much more easily. For example, many have not learned how to cook themselves a nice meal or patch up a hole in their trousers. To be self-reliant and capable, it is important to have some basic life skills. CourseHorse offers many classes and workshops that help you gain valuable life skills.

However, these life skills are not only useful but also provide an opportunity to pick up a new hobby. There are plenty of clubs, groups, and organizations that value learning life skills of many kinds, so it is possible to learn something new as well as make a few new friends with similar interests. Your new hobby will not only allow you to relieve stress, be more productive with your time, and learn a useful skill, but you can turn these skills into a side-hustle or part-time job. Learning something new can be as useful as it is fun – especially when you can turn that learned skill into a small business.

5 Ways to Learn Life Skills

Traditional classes are the best option to learn new life skills. Not only are they incredibly easy to access, but they provide the most well-rounded approach to learning. These courses ensure that you receive hands-on experience with your chosen life skill, so you can end the course feeling more confident in your abilities. Depending on the desired skill, these courses can be in-person, live online, or self-paced classes. There are other ways to learn a new life skill, such as trade schools and apprenticeships, but accessibility depends on your location.

For example, culinary school is a great way to learn more about cooking. Depending on the school, you can apply for in-person classes that focus on the basics or dive into something more complex, such as learning a specific cuisine. Additionally, there are many videos online that can help you learn something new. YouTubehas a video for nearly everything. It is important to note that self-paced and on-demand classes are easily accessible, but you are often left to your own devices if you think you are doing something incorrectly or if you have a question.

  1. Take an in-person class with an experienced instructor. Materials will likely be provided and you will receive direct feedback on your abilities.
  2. Enroll in a live online course that provides you with real-time feedback and the chance to speak with other like-minded individuals from across the country. Many courses will ship the necessary materials right to your door, but you may have to source some items yourself.
  3. Follow along with a self-paced, on-demand class by researching videos or online tutorials. These are free and highly accessible, however, there is a lack of guidance associated with this method.
  4. Grab a do-it-yourself book or instruction manual. Books are fantastic resources to have at your disposal when learning a new skill.
  5. Depending on the life skill you are interested in learning, you may find someone in your community who you can shadow and observe. This can also open the door for apprenticeship opportunities.

In-Person Life Skills Classes

In-person classes are offered all across the country for a variety of different life skills. When learning any new skill, having someone present to answer your questions and assist you through the process is ideal. These types of courses are a great way to get started and stay focused on learning new skills you are interested in.

Private Group Life Skills Classes

Do you want to schedule a life skills class as a fun team-building event for your business or organization? CourseHorse has life skill classes for private groups that they can deliver to you.

An enjoyable way to unwind with your group is the Virtual Art & Meditation life skills course. In this workshop, your group will destress and find peace of mind through breathing meditation and a coloring activity. The workshop includes a private, interactive experience with a professional instructor as well as a coloring book and set of gel pens. Learning how to control your breathing and maintain mindfulness is a vital life skill, regardless of your career. This is a great way for your group to decompress after a long week at work or simply enjoy spending time together through a shared activity.

Looking for a hands-on experience? Try the Virtual Pizza from Scratch course. This experience comes with all the necessary ingredients, such as flour, tomatoes, olive oil, and yeast. Plus, this workshop also includes a gift card and shopping guide so your participants can personalize their toppings with their desired cheeses, vegetables, and meats. Gluten-free accommodations are also available at request. Not only does this course help your team learn a great life skill, but there is no better way to spend time with your group than enjoying a slice of pizza together.

If you are seeking a team-building event that allows you to learn more about your colleagues in a fun way, look no further than the Virtual Getting to Know Your Teammates course. The facilitator will kick off the event by discussing the rules and will mix up the rounds to ensure variety, inclusion, and several different themes. You will get to know your teammates by discussing shared passions as well as the diverse traits, interests, and quirks that your colleagues may have. Interacting with your co-workers while learning more about them in a fun environment makes for a more effective team. 

Preparing for these courses is easy. CourseHorse will ship supplies directly to each course participant. You will receive the necessary materials to help facilitate the learning process and make it a more enjoyable experience. CourseHorse will also send a confirmation email 24 hours before your class.

For an additional $150 fee, your group can customize your course by adding games, using personalized questions, or incorporating a second event with all materials included. The minimum group size depends from course to course, but you can adjust the group size as long as the minimum requirement has been met.

CourseHorse recommends using the Zoom platform for your class, but they can accommodate Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx as well. Many courses can even shift to an in-person format if you prefer to conduct the class in your office or home.

What Will I Need to Learn Life Skills?

Before the class starts, you will likely need a few materials. Where you can find these materials depends on the life skill you intend to learn. For example, if you learn basic plumbing, you may need to stop by your local hardware store. If you are learning how to cook, you will need to pick a recipe and source the ingredients from a farmer's market, grocer, or international store. Regardless of which life skill class you enroll in, most of the materials will be provided for you.

Is it Difficult to Learn Life Skills?

There are unique challenges that come with learning a new life skill; therefore, the level of difficulty it takes to learn a new skill depends on multiple factors. It is important to consider your schedule and experience level for each life skill you want to learn. Once you understand these factors, it is easier to discern how much time and effort is necessary. For example, learning how to do basic carpentry in your house requires an understanding of specific tools. If you have never used the tools before, you will need to ensure you have ample time to familiarize yourself with those before diving right into a project. Regardless of what you intend to learn, it is important to remember that learning these skills is for your overall personal betterment.
