Four things this site does differently from every other course aggregator.
Nothing is listed unless the full learning material can be completed without paying. No free trials, no 'first module free', no credit card walls.
Harvard, MIT, Google, Microsoft, freeCodeCamp, Cisco and twelve others. Established institutions and platforms — never a reseller or a scraped listing.
Every course states whether the certificate is free, paid or non-existent. We would rather lose the click than pretend an audit track ends in a credential.
Search every indexed course across 18 providers at once, filter by level, length and certificate, then finish on the provider's own site.
Start with a topic, a provider, or one of the seven learning paths.
Narrow by level, length, language and whether the certificate is free.
The enrol button opens the provider's own page. You never pay us anything.
What this directory is, how the free courses work, and where the catches are.
