Does Alison give out free certificates or diplomas?
All Alison’s courses are free to enrol in and complete, and we don't charge a monthly subscription fee like many other online learning sites. You can choose to do as many courses as you like, all at no charge. If you want to advance to the next stage, which is getting an official certificate or diploma, a nominal fee is levied to cover the administrative and shipping expenses connected to this. If you compare a traditional diploma with an Alison one, Alison’s are far less expensive and much quicker to acquire.
Yes, they are 100% legitimate. Alison was founded in 2007 on the notion that the Internet is a powerful tool for making education available to as many people as possible, regardless of where they live, their educational background or what they can afford. Since then, millions of people around the world have graduated with Alison courses relevant to their careers, hobbies or even just passions. We work with legitimate publishers across the education spectrum to bring you their course material for free. All the learning outcomes and appraisals have been created by course experts to ensure you get a good grounding in your particular topic.
Are Alison certificates worth it?
If you want to boost your resume or CV with more educational qualifications, then it is an advantage to buy an official diploma or certification as many potential employers will check your credentials. If you have been away from the formal workplace for a while, a certificate or diploma shows employers or recruiters that you are taking your career seriously.
