Everything you need to know

What “free” means on Alison

The course lessons and assessments are free. At the end, you can choose to buy a digital or printed certificate or diploma, but it is not required to learn.

If your goal is to learn a skill, you can finish courses without paying anything.

Certificates and diplomas

Alison offers shorter certificate courses and longer diploma courses. Both have an optional paid document at the end.

Before paying, think about how you will use the document, for example in a job application or a CV.

Studying from South Africa

The courses are in English, which makes them accessible for many learners in South Africa. You can study on your phone and save data by using Wi-Fi.

For formal qualifications, check with employers or institutions which certificates they accept.

Choosing your first course

Start with a short course connected to a job you want. Digital skills, customer service and workplace safety are useful in many areas.

Finishing a first course builds confidence to take on longer diplomas later.

Staying safe

Always type the official address yourself and never share bank passwords or SMS codes. Be careful with ads promising free certificates in exchange for personal data.

If someone asks for payment to unlock free lessons, it is not the official platform.
