 Field-based certification
Associations that represent certain fields of work may offer certification or
licensing training classes with little cost attached. Getting the training for a
real estate license, for example, might only take a few months of study
though a localized board of Realtors.

 Small business development centers
Found in many metro areas, these government funded agencies are known
for hosting a variety of programs, workshops and certification classes. These
centers can also be incredible resources for establishing a business correctly
to meet local, state and federal regulations.

 Franchise companies or territory sales firms
If you intend to sign on with a franchise company or work in a territory as an
at-home salesperson, training will be provided to you in many cases.
Depending on the field or product you choose, associated classes may cost
you nothing at all. Sales-based companies that operate using home parties,
for example, will generally provide extensive, hands-on training. Many
franchises, too, provide a variety of hands-on courses to help those who buy
in enjoy success.

 On-the-job training
Some freelancing positions will provide basic training to contractors on the
job. Companies that hire telecommuters to take incoming calls, for example,
may also provide training.

Getting the training that might be required for many home-based businesses is
generally a lot easier than you might think. Turn to the right place and the skills
you have can be easily added on to.
