Here is a short list of websites that offer online SEO programs accessible from anywhere in the world. Please note that I am not affiliated with these programs and do not gain anything from recommending them.
#1: SEOBook.com
A forerunner in teaching SEO, SEOBook.com specializes in providing modules (approximately 100) including both video and written training materials. By subscribing you get a copy of a newsletter every month which keeps you on the cutting edge of the new techniques. You also get access to the most noteworthy SEO tools in the business. These include the Duplicate content checker, the website health check, hub finder, local rank, competitive research tool, etc. You get to stay in touch with the fast progressing SEO community and share a pool of knowledge.
The moment you subscribe to learn SEO at this site, you will be provided with an e-book which is a comprehensive reference on SEO.
What’s The Damage?
There is a monthly subscription of $100 when you agree to sign up at the site. The payment transactions are carried out through Paypal with an agreement to end the deal whenever the user feels like.
#2: HWG.org
The HTML Writers Guild or HWG can be your cost-effective option, if you’re looking at learning SEO at affordable fees. The website imparts a wide range of online training courses including search engine optimization. Incorporated since 1994, HWG has over 150,000 members from 160 countries and deliver virtually every conceivable web training program online. Online SEO training program offered by this website spans across 6 weeks in easy step-by-step methods. To make sure the learners get the best from their courses, the website has two experienced course instructors: Cindy McMahen, the chief instructor and Karyn Zoldan, the co-instructor. Cindy McMahen has enviable track records in teaching Website Promotion and Search Engine Optimization programs since 1997.
The website also offers membership subscriptions so that learners can take advantage of their courses at reduced prices. While non-members can sign up for the course at standard prices, members can get the courses at special discounted prices.
What’s The Damage?
Considering the course contents, HWG.org offers perhaps one of the most irresistible online SEO training packages online. Currently, the online SEO course by HWG is offered at 250 USD for non-members and only 150 USD for members. You can log on to the website to find more details on the package.
#3: Expertrating.com
After having established itself in 60 countries in over 200 skill areas, this website needs no introduction. This online SEO training center has already churned out more than 200,000 certified professionals who are now successful businessmen in their own right. With the course structure being defined by experts in SEO, you will have the option of gaining knowledge from the best in the business. Extremely relevant scenarios and case studies are included in the course. Any questions are resolved by the experienced instructor named Robert Viers.
After completing the 6 week course and getting the certification, you can appear for an exam within the next 2 months. The course can be downloaded easily and assignments and quizzes are conducted to enable deeper understanding of SEO. The courses commence every month of the year.
What’s The Damage?
Charging a nominal $99.99 for the certificate, this site is a good one to invest your money in.
So many options to choose from…
This is just a short list and has been prepared based on the performance of the websites offering online SEO courses, their page ranks, the affordability, expert instructors and the ability to download of course materials. Since new and more advanced websites keep coming up on a regular basis, it pays to join many popular SEO forums (Warrior Forum, DigitalPoint, SEOChat et al) and ask people around for their experience with any online SEO courses.

I had never thought the plainly simple ways the big G works. The thing is that Search Engines looks at your page countless times, it still takes a tonne of effort on your part to get a website to become intriguing to the spiders. This just adds to my understanding of SEO!
I am interested for summer training(especially in Chandigarh). I am thinking to go for SEO training. So if you could just resolve my query:
To which companies I could apply and the procedure for applying?
I would be grateful if you help me at the earliest..
