Thread: Free Online Courses

thank you for sharing this important link. I need more link about online course for starting a business.

By chance do any of these courses provide a certification. I enjoy taking courses to learn more information however I am looking to earn that piece of paper as well to prove to future employers I have the knowledge.

These courses are excellent. Note that, if you want a certificate, you MUST register, even if you do not want CEUs.

REALLY ugly certificates.

I was surfing around a bit and stumbled on this and thought it might be worth trying.

Is anyone familiar with Anacapa Science , Inc.? Has anyone tried the courses? It seems that you have to do all three modules (Introduction to Intelligence Analysis, Data Collection Tradeoffs, & Critical Thinking Strategies) in order to obtain a certificate. That may or may not be worth it for those looking for more certs in the mail.

I took Introduction to Intelligence Analysis and it was well worthwhile. Note that the course is about criminal intelligence, not state intelligence (like spying).

No certificate for the one course and I don't see anything about a certificate for completing all three.

I completed Introduction to Intelligence Analysis and thought it was excellent. Data Collection Tradeoffs was a bit confusing.

The former deals more with domestic crime analysis while the later is more about terrorism.

Here's the url Anacapa Training anacapatraining.com/webtraining/index.html

No certificate offered online but the owners of the site have kindly offered to send one when you complete the three courses

Wow Tcord , this is tremendously valuable information for students looking to take distance learning courses to have. Thanks a bunch for your contribution.

Wow, thank you so much for these great links to free courses! I'm all about continuous learning, and free is always a bonus!
Hopefully some of these free courses are still available :)

The Arabic course seem interesting.

Hello,
Your posting of the links will help out a lot of people. Great job!

I was wondering, during your search for free study links, did you happen to come across any free links for nursing study material online?

Any help is appreciated.

very nice thread. But learning management system (link removed by Moderator) on internet can also be done without spending anything.

Great...
Thanks for sharing. Wanna see those forums...

hi, i have seen this topic come up from time to time for career, and I think it is because there are plenty of people who are just as frugal as me. Have done much searching online for free courses that for free , while they may not offer credit, do offer an opportunity to learn something new. You can then take that knowledge and try to get credit for it through CLEP/Dantes or Prior Learning Assessment.

This is what EVERYONE should keep in mind when pursuing free courses. They are for your own benefit - but, could help you gain credit through testing. The certificates you get from some free online classes won't get you very far unless you are planning on testing out of classes that will count towards your degree.
