The Great Free Online Courses Hunt (merged)

am completely unconvinced that vision to learn offer free courses. what are their criteria for course availabilities?

live in greater manchester and not one single course of interest to me is free.

is it just some marketing scam on their part?

As i have already said several times, I have done a certificate in health and safety and a certificate in equality and diversity within the last few months. I havent paid a penny, havent been to college once and found the course incredibly well run and interesting.

Great thread, I think vision2learn will prove to be useful. Thanks

Most of the courses at Learn Direct are FREE if you're on certain Benefits. You have to have been claiming for a minimum of 6 months and beable to show proof :j

From the Union Learn Forum:

"With Alison individuals can develop their skills and knowledge by studying
interactive selfpaced courses for FREE.
http://www.alison.com

.....currently have both ECDL and E-citizen available with more courses to
be added as they become available."

Alison is used by quite a few Union-backed Learning Centres and is very well spoken of. Our Learning Centre is now registered with Alison and we have people studying ECDL - I'm also thinking of doing it

hiya, can anyone guide me to any free courses that are starting in the new year, postal or internet that might be useful for family tree, local/social history or scrapbooking. Thanks in advance
