Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about accessing free and curated courses

Welcome to Our Course Discovery Platform

We're not another Udemy, Coursera, or course-selling site. Our mission is simple: help you discover the best free and curated online courses from across the web.

We don't host courses ourselves. Instead, we carefully curate and list quality courses from trusted providers, including YouTube creators, educational platforms, and open learning resources.

How it works: Browse courses on our platform → Click to enroll → You'll be redirected to the original provider's site where the course is hosted.

Course Access and Enrollment

How do I sign up and access courses on your platform?

Getting started is simple:

  • Browse: No account needed to browse courses. Use our search and filter options to find courses by topic, provider, or difficulty level.
  • Select: Click on any course to view detailed information and instructor details.
  • Enroll: When you're ready, click the "Enroll" or "Go to Course" button. You'll be redirected to the course provider's website.
  • Sign Up: Create an account on the provider's platform (if required) and start learning.

We're here to help you discover courses, while the actual enrollment happens on the provider's platform.

How do I search and find courses?

Our platform offers multiple ways to discover courses:

  • Search Bar: Type keywords related to what you want to learn (e.g., "Python programming", "digital marketing")
  • Categories: Browse by subject areas like Technology, Business, Design, etc.
  • Filters: Narrow down by difficulty level, course duration, provider, or price (free/paid)
  • Featured Collections: Check our curated lists of trending courses and beginner-friendly options

Each course listing includes provider information, so you know exactly where the course is hosted before enrolling.

Do I need to create an account on your site?

No account is required to browse and discover courses on our platform.

However, you will need to create an account on the course provider's platform (like YouTube, Coursera, edX, etc.) when you click through to enroll in a course.

We're a discovery platform, not a learning management system, so your learning progress and certificates are managed by the original course providers.

Certificates

Will I receive a certificate after completing a course?

Certificate availability depends entirely on the course provider, not our platform.

Important: We don't issue certificates ourselves. Certificates are provided by the original course platforms where you enroll.

Each course listing on our site clearly indicates whether a certificate is available:

  • Free Certificates: Some providers offer free certificates upon course completion
  • Paid Certificates: Many platforms offer free course access but charge for verified certificates
  • No Certificate: Some courses (especially YouTube-based) don't offer formal certificates

Always check the course details page for certificate information before enrolling.

How do I get a certificate from a course I completed?

The process varies by provider:

  • Coursera/edX: Complete all assignments and quizzes, then purchase a verified certificate (if not already paid)
  • Udemy: Certificates are automatically generated after completing 100% of course content
  • YouTube Courses: Generally don't offer formal certificates, but you gain knowledge and can showcase projects
  • Other Platforms: Check the provider's help section or course syllabus for specific requirements

If a course offers certificates through a mobile app (like some platforms mentioned), you'll need to download their app and follow the certificate request process within that app.

Are these certificates valid and recognized?

Certificate recognition depends on the provider's reputation and the type of certificate:

  • Verified Certificates: From platforms like Coursera, edX, and LinkedIn Learning are widely recognized by employers
  • University-Issued: Certificates from accredited institutions through MOOCs carry significant weight
  • Platform Certificates: From Udemy, Skillshare, etc., are helpful for skill demonstration but may vary in employer recognition
  • Free Certificates: Can still be valuable for demonstrating learning initiative and skill development
Our Recommendation: Focus on learning outcomes and practical skills. Certificates are a bonus that validate your commitment to continuous learning.
Can I include these certificates on my resume or LinkedIn?

Absolutely! Professional certificates from reputable online learning platforms are increasingly accepted by employers.

Best practices for listing certificates:

  • Include the complete course name and provider
  • Add the completion date and certificate ID (if available)
  • Include a link to verify the certificate online
  • Highlight relevant skills gained from the course
  • On LinkedIn, add certificates to the "Licenses & Certifications" section

Many platforms like Coursera and LinkedIn Learning offer direct LinkedIn integration to share your achievements.

Course Types and Content

What types of courses do you list?

We curate a diverse range of online learning opportunities:

  • 100% Free Courses: Completely free with no hidden costs
  • Free with Paid Certificates: Free to learn, optional certificate purchase
  • YouTube Course Series: Curated playlists from expert creators
  • Professional Certifications: Career-focused certification programs
  • Affiliate Courses: Quality paid courses we recommend Only (clearly marked)*

Every course listing clearly indicates detailed information you need about course and any additional info and about courses instrutor.

We believe in complete transparency:

  • Browsing our platform: Always 100% free
  • Course access: Clearly marked as "Free" or "Premium" and on some you also find "Free Trail" on each listing
  • Certificate costs: Mentioned upfront if applicable
Our Promise: We never surprise you with hidden costs. What you see on the course page is what you get when you click through.
Do you offer financial aid or discounts?

As a course discovery platform, we don't directly offer financial aid. However:

  • Many providers like Coursera and edX offer their own financial aid programs for verified certificates
  • We highlight courses that offer financial assistance in our listings
  • We curate free alternatives to paid courses whenever possible
  • For affiliate courses, we share any available discount codes or promotions

Check the provider's website directly for information about scholarships, financial aid, or payment plans.

What if a course I'm taking gets updated or removed?

Since courses are hosted by third-party providers:

  • Course updates: Managed by the provider; we update our listings accordingly
  • Removed courses: If a provider removes a course, we remove it from our listings and suggest alternatives
  • Access issues: Contact the course provider's support team directly
  • Refunds: Handled by the course provider according to their refund policy

If you notice a broken link or outdated information, please report it to us so we can update our listings(you'll find report Form on each courses Page).

Platform Features and Comparison

How is your platform different from Coursera, Udemy, or edX?

Great question! Here's the key difference:

We don't host or sell courses. We're a discovery platform that helps you find courses from multiple providers in one place.
  • Coursera, Udemy, edX: Course providers that host their own content
  • Our Platform: Course aggregator that lists courses from multiple providers, including Coursera, Udemy, edX and more

Think of us as your personal course curator, helping you discover the best learning opportunities across the entire web, not just one platform.

How do you ensure course quality?

We take curation seriously and apply multiple quality filters:

  • Instructor credibility: We check instructor backgrounds and expertise
  • Student reviews: We prioritize courses with high ratings and positive feedback
  • Content freshness: We favor recently updated courses with current information
  • Provider reputation: We list courses from established, trusted platforms
  • Manual review: Our team reviews courses before adding them to our platform

However, the ultimate responsibility for course quality lies with the original provider. Always check reviews and ratings on the provider's platform before enrolling.

Which platform will I be redirected to when I enroll?

Complete transparency is our priority:

  • Every course listing displays the provider name prominently (e.g., "Coursera", "YouTube", "edX")
  • Course details page shows the provider's logo and website
  • Before redirecting, we show you where you're going
  • The "Enroll" button clearly states: "Continue to [Provider Name]"

You'll always know exactly which platform you're being directed to before you click.

Do you earn from affiliate courses? How does this affect recommendations?

Yes, we're transparent about our business model:

  • Some courses are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you purchase through our link
  • All affiliate courses are clearly marked as "Affiliate Link" or "Sponsored"
  • We only recommend courses we genuinely believe are valuable
  • Affiliate status never influences our quality curation standards
  • The majority of courses we list are free with no affiliate relationship
Our Commitment: We never compromise on quality for commission. Your learning goals come first.

User Support and Experience

What if I have issues accessing a course?

Course access issues should be directed to the course provider since they host the content:

  • Login problems: Contact the provider's support team
  • Payment issues: Reach out to the provider's billing department
  • Technical difficulties: Use the provider's help center or support system
  • Broken links on our site: Please report to us, and we'll fix them immediately

  • Include the course URL, provider, and why you think it's valuable
  • We review all submissions and add quality courses to our platform
  • You'll receive a notification if we add your suggested course

  • We collect minimal data – primarily for site functionality and improvement
  • We don't store payment information (since we don't process payments)
  • We use industry-standard security measures
  • We don't sell your personal information to third parties
  • When you enroll in courses, you're subject to the provider's privacy policy

  • You can browse courses seamlessly on your phone, desktop or tablet
  • A mobile app is in our future roadmap
