Courses such as How to Start a Small Business and Entrepreneurship have also seen an increase in registrants.

The reality of working from home has had an impact on the types of courses that have become popular over the last year. Certificates that can launch home office careers, such as Small Business Accounting and Business Analyst, are popular choices for those who are looking to retrain, while Leadership Development courses offer managers the skills to lead employees who are now working remotely.

The growth in home renovations has also seen an increase in Continuing Education's Interior Decorating - Residential courses for home renovators and those looking to start a new business venture.
