1. How did you first come across Alison?

I first came across Alison while searching online for free courses and certificates to improve my skills. As a first-year Computer Science Engineering student, I wanted to learn more about new technologies without spending money. Alison stood out because its courses are free and self-paced, so I decided to try it. Since then, the courses I have completed have helped me understand new concepts and stay motivated to keep learning.

2. What did you study, and why did you choose those subjects?

I studied programming languages like C, C++, Python, and Java, as well as Generative AI, to build a strong foundation in computer science.

C helped me understand programming fundamentals and develop the logical thinking needed to solve problems. I chose C++ to learn about object-oriented programming and strengthen my coding skills. I studied Python because it is approachable and widely used in artificial intelligence, data science, and many real-world applications. I also began learning Java because it is commonly used in software and app development, and I wanted to explore it early in my studies.

Alongside these programming languages, I took Generative AI courses because I am curious about how AI works and how it can create useful, innovative solutions. 

Learning across these areas has made me more confident and excited about my journey in computer science.

3. How has learning on Alison helped your career journey?

As a Computer Science Engineering student, Alison has strengthened my technical knowledge and helped me explore new technologies. The courses have motivated me to keep learning and developing skills that will support my future career.

4. What advice would you give to someone who has not yet discovered Alison or free online learning?

I would encourage everyone to explore free online learning platforms like Alison. They make quality education accessible to people regardless of their background or budget. Even one course can help you learn new skills and move closer to your career goals.
