Looking for a listing of FutureLearn courses?
Most FutureLearn courses are available to audit for free (access course materials including videos, readings, and discussions) but certificates are not available without paying. Class Central has, however, found some courses that offer a free upgrade and digital certificate. See FutureLearn Courses That Still Offer Free Certificates.
Some FutureLearn courses are available on a pay-only basis. These are indicated by a small green $ symbol on the Class Central information page. They are generally specialist courses for professionals already working in the field who want further education in particular topics.
FutureLearn ExpertTracks are groups of courses in specific fields. They are subscription-based, with a 7-day free trial period.
Costs of courses vary. Click on Upgrade to find out the cost of the course. The cost may be in British Pounds or your local currency, so you may need to check exchange rates. You can pay for the course at any time: before starting, during the course, or after finishing. Remember to complete any tests or exams that are only available after purchasing the course.
FutureLearn Unlimited gives you access to almost the entire FutureLearn catalogue for 12 months, including digital certificates of achievement and extended access for any courses you pass. ExpertTracks and Premium (pay-only) courses are not included in FutureLearn Unlimited.
