Free Courses and Certifications
Find reputable learning providers and understand what is free before enrolling.
Choose learning that addresses a real gap
Start with a skill required by the roles you seek. Pick one course, complete the practice work and build a small example you can explain. A completion badge is not the same as a degree, regulated professional registration or a guaranteed job.

Original providers
Free courses across subjects including computing, business, education and health. Check the selected course for any statement of participation or badge and its requirements; these are not an Open University degree.
The provider describes free online technology and career learning with digital credentials. Account, course and credential requirements vary; confirm them on the original course page.
Pick a useful learning path
- Administration or NYSC: spreadsheets, business writing, presentation and data handling.
- Technology: computing foundations, digital safety and a practical project relevant to your target role.
- Graduate or career change: communication, teamwork, problem-solving and evidence of applying a skill.
- Teaching or healthcare: use learning to support practice within your competence. A short online course does not replace required professional training or registration.
Check the certificate conditions
- Is the learning itself free? Is there an assessment, badge or completion statement?
- Is a certificate included, optional or charged separately? Read the actual provider’s terms.
- Check prerequisites, language, time commitment, accessibility and device requirements.
- On your CV, use the exact course and provider name, date and credential type. Do not claim a professional certification when you completed only a course.
