    I merged 3 posts from another thread here RE: Campellsville University free certificates. They're short professional development courses and not really worthy of their own thread. Still, worth a peak

    I'm not excited about a "Certificate of Attendance". I'm also not excited about a school run by the notorious human rights violating government of Qatar.

    However, the program itself looks absolutely amazing. So much so that I'm tempted to compartmentalize my complaints and go ahead and attend.

    Would be nice, but to cite their site: "We are not a school but, rather, a professional training company. Therefore, we cannot provide you with a license directly. However, as an Autodesk partner, we can help you get a monthly or annual subscription to several software packages. Another option would be a 30-day free trial license."

    I like the concept. I'm sure the course has value. What I don't much care for is the certificate that says ".... has completed the free online Finance course." Too much information!

    Why can't they make it say "After the required seven years of study at our campus in Buckinghamshire, founded in 1228 ...." :)
    Oh yeah... because nobody would believe it. Right....

    Ah, come on, don't be so severe! Never look a gift horse in the mouth! ... well, exceptions may apply for the free courses from International Open University (IOU) by Dr. Bilal Philips...

    Uh, yeah -- those would likely put you center-screen on Homeland Security radar! :eek:

    The schedule was inconvenient for anyone living on the other side of the world, PLUS there were glitches in the registration system which prevented me, and others, from catching at least part of the program live. However, they also streamed and recorded it on YouTube, so it's possible to watch the replay at one's convenience, just without the Certificate of Attendance.
