Chicago English Classes

[Amaia Novara]

Ifyou are looking to start a new career or upskill your way into a highly-paid promotion, consider enrolling in one of the many tech training courses offered at Practical Programming. Whether you want to take an introductory programming class (like an intro to Python course) or an immersive, career-focused bootcamp (like a data science certificate program), you can find a course to fit your needs, regardless of your prior experience level. These courses are taught by experienced instructors who can guide students through the process of learning difficult tech skills and all of the courses are aimed at making sure students leave the class career ready.

Sewing is a very practical skill to learn, allowing you to save money on clothing repairs and alterations (or even on new clothes if you are feeling particularly adventurous). Sew Anastasia is a Chicago-based sewing school that offers immersive and hands-on courses for students of all skill levels. Whether you are looking to master the art of using a sewing machine, make your own clothing, alter and repair everything from dresses to streetwear, or even make personalized lingerie, there is sure to be a class for you at Sew Anastasia.

Another way to meet new people and to have a good time is to enroll in an acting or an improv class. These courses are a good way to get out of your comfort zone, learn new skills and find friends with similar interests and hobbies. Learning improv or acting can also help with your public speaking and presentation skills, making these classes more than just fun diversions for students not wanting to pursue acting as a career choice.

Everyone eats, so it pays to learn how to cook. Knowing your way around the kitchen is a good way to live healthier, save money and become a better host (and more attractive partner). The Chopping Block offers a wide range of cooking classes, ranging from basic skills courses, culinary bootcamps, explorations of regional cuisines and even couples cooking classes. Whether you need to learn how to make chicken stock or you are looking to master the art of preparing a full meal in the French style, you should consider enrolling in a class at The Chopping Block.

While not the first thing people think of in terms of recreational sports, fencing is a fun way to get a workout, learn some new skills and meet new people. In this recreational fencing course, students of all skill levels can practice, get training and become more comfortable with the rules and equipment associated with fencing. These courses emphasize saber and foil fencing and students can get all of the training and practice they need to pursue recreational fencing. Then, if you find that you enjoy fencing, you can join like-minded athletes and enroll in a competition fencing class.

Escape rooms are a wonderful social experience and in recent years, the design of escape rooms has improved by leaps and bounds (in everything from puzzle design to the aesthetics of the rooms themselves). The Escape Game offers seven of the highest-quality escape rooms available, all of which are designed by experienced professionals and tested to provide some of the most compelling and challenging puzzles in the industry. Whether you want to escape the depths of the ocean, track down a foreign spy or succeed at an art heist, there is an experience available to you at The Escape Game.

If you are learning how to cook, one of the most difficult aspects for early chefs is learning how to use kitchen knives. Not only are they very sharp (which can be intimidating), but there are so many different ways to cut meat and vegetables that you need to know a wide range of techniques. This course will teach you how to slice, dice, mince and chop common kitchen vegetables and how to filet and debone fish and chicken, providing you with a firm ground on which to start your culinary education.

Not all classes that you take are going to be fun and games. Professional development classes are a good way to meet other, like-minded business people and to increase your lifetime earning potential at the same time. This course focuses on how to run and profit from an independent notary public business. This course includes training on the advertising and customer service side of the industry and assistance in ensuring that everything you do is above board and certified. This course is a great way to kickstart a potential future career change (assuming you want to work as a notary public in the state of Illinois).
