I tried Alison and did one of their courses but apparently it costs up to $30 for a certificate. Are there any sites that give both courses and certificates of completion for free?

You can try Coursera which offers a variety of free courses across different subjects. You can learn new skills and gain knowledge without financial investment. Some courses that might interest you in Coursera include “Python for Data Science, AI & Development” by IBM and “Introduction to Microsoft Excel” by Coursera Project Network.

There are several online platforms offering free courses along with certificates of completion. Platforms like Coursera, edX, and FutureLearn provide access to courses from universities and institutions worldwide, with many courses available for free auditing. While obtaining a verified certificate typically incurs a fee, financial assistance is often available for eligible learners. Additionally, LinkedIn Learning offers a vast library of courses covering various topics, and while it requires a subscription for full access, you can often access courses for free through libraries or educational institutions. Skillshare is another option, offering thousands of classes taught by industry professionals, with a selection of free classes available each month. These platforms provide opportunities to enhance your skills and earn certificates of completion at little to no cost.

Although Alison provides some free courses, certain certificates require payment. Here are alternative resources that offer free courses along with certificates of completion:
Completely Free Options:
Coursera: Coursera provides a variety of free courses that come with certificates upon completion. While some courses offer paid certificates with additional benefits, you can access the core learning materials and earn a certificate at no cost. Their subjects range widely, including business, computer science, and data analysis.
edX: Similar to Coursera, edX offers free courses from esteemed universities and institutions. Certificates are available upon course completion, though some courses may involve a nominal fee. Check the specific course details for more information.
Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers an extensive collection of free courses, primarily focusing on K-12 math and science, along with subjects like humanities and economics. They provide certificates upon finishing courses or learning paths.
Freemium Models:
Skillshare: Skillshare features a combination of free and premium courses. While select popular courses require a subscription, they offer a free trial period during which you can access premium content, including courses that provide certificates.
Udemy: Udemy operates on a similar model to Skillshare, offering both free and paid courses. Occasionally, they offer promotions where paid courses are temporarily free, so it’s beneficial to watch for such opportunities. Some courses on Udemy also provide free certificates upon completion.

Many of the courses that Alison offers are available for free. You will basically have to pay a fee in order to obtain a certificate of accomplishment or completion, though. The course and the kind of credential you want to pursue will determine the exact cost. In general, Alison provides both premium courses, where the certificate is included in the price, and free courses with the opportunity to acquire one. The best way to find the exact costs is to visit the course page or the Alison website directly.

A standard course’s digital certificate costs about $35, while a framed diploma certificate might cost up to $110. Depending on where you live, the exact cost could also change. Alison occasionally gives discounts, so if you look around, you might be able to find a lower cost.
All i know is All learning on Alison is free . After you complete a course, you are given the option to purchase a digital or printed version of your achievement.The purchase amount am not sure but ain’t quite expensive.
