    I checked out the link you put up and this course is not free - it is £49.99. I have no problem paying for it, and that is not expensive, but it certainly isn't free. Very misleading.

    Maybe it was free back in 2013 when the op posted and others took up the offer?

    This site has a sign up for 2 free courses, one's an organisation on and the other is about making extra money.

    They are both aimed at teachers but there are some bits in the extra money one that might be useful to others.
