All the courses are free, I don't think there's any official qualifications but you can probably still put the course on your C.V.Onetap likes this.For where thou art, there is the world itself, and where thou art not, desolation.

US universities charge high fees for students and, I believe, that this is just altruism on their part. As poined out by D_C you won't receive a formal qualification from them so it won't really do much for your resume but it will enable people to learn about things that they might not otherwise have access to.

I had a look at the Alison website which HHB put up and it says that it is funded by advertising on their website. Originally Posted by chocolate_frog

I use Alison and it is all free. A simple registration opens up a site with lots of courses. Well laid out and not just computer type courses but Management, Health and Safety, First Aid etc. They have just released the MS Office - Word 2010 tutorial so rather than stumbling through using it I will do the course and be able to use it to its full potential.
