For several years in the United States, Black Friday has been held, a day of discounts before Christmas, which has motivated commercial establishments to design the best offers, before the price hike in December.

However, there are some industries that stand out for their prominence and for the needs of people at the end of the year, these are technology, fashion, toys and academia.
It seems strange, but it is a reality, Internet buyers are looking for discounts to study and one of the main reasons is the unemployment that in Colombia, According to Dane, 27.7% of Colombians were in this situation between December 2020 and February of this year.
Therefore, people are choosing to take courses and specialize virtually and it is that many companies, especially in the technology sector, are valuing certifications and English more.
According to Platzi, these are the courses that are sought on this Black Friday:
