Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

  • University courses you can audit for free, with lectures, readings and practice quizzes.
  • A verified certificate from the university if you pay for it.
  • A clear syllabus (13 parts) you can see before you start.

Disadvantages

  • Graded assignments and the certificate need the paid track.
  • Audit access can expire a few weeks after the course ends.
  • Learning is free, but the certificate costs money.
  • Some parts (graded work, certificate) are paid.
  • Runs on fixed dates, so you may have to wait for the next run.

Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.

Free to audit

  • Free: Choose "Audit this course" when you enrol: lectures, readings and practice are free.
  • Paid: Graded assignments and the verified certificate (Certificate $49). Audit access may end after the course closes.
