Hey Isaac! We are the only platform in the world that provides ALL our courses for free. We charge a nominal amount for Certificates because it helps us produce more free courses. We believe that it’s more empowering to gain new skills for free and give you the option to purchase a high-quality Certificate later, instead of having to pay before starting your course and not finding it worth it. That’s something other platforms do, not us. Because we genuinely care about you learning new skills, more than the money we make. If you don’t want to claim your Certificate, you can create and share your Alison Profile for free, which automatically gets updated with your completed courses. Thank you for using Alison and letting us help you on your journey, the same way we have helped millions of others.
