For a Limited Time, Coursera Offers Free Certificates for 115 Courses. Here is the Full List.
These courses come from ~50 universities including Penn, Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, Caltech, Duke, and Imperial College London.
Update (May 19, 2021): [Ends June 2021] 70 Free Certificates From Coursera for a Limited Time
Update (Feb 19, 2021): Please note the free certificate offer for courses on this list expired December 31, 2020. Other options:
- Massive List of Thousands of Free Certificates and Badges
- 1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely Free (without certificate)
- 600+ Google Free Certificates and Badges
- 350+ Hours of Free LinkedIn Learning Courses with Free Certification
At the end of March, the world’s largest MOOC provider Coursera announced that they are offering 100 free online courses in response to Covid-19 till the end of May. But recently Coursera expanded both the number of courses as well as the length of the offer till the end of July. The new courses added are from Coursera’s Latin American university partners.
Now this has further been extended till the end of this year.
As we noted, the coronavirus pandemic has increased interest in online education and bought MOOCs back in the spotlight. Class Central itself has seen a huge surge in traffic.
In the last 30 days, Class Central received more traffic than we did in 2019. These users were also more engaged.
One number in particular stands out to me – clicks to the provider (Go To Class button clicks on our course pages). They increased significantly, 4.4m vs 2.5m. pic.twitter.com/UGvcaBcEFj

The ongoing situation has also driven MOOC providers to launch a number of initiatives. For learners, this means new opportunities. We are keeping track of these in three lists that we’re continuously updating:
- Free Online Learning Due to Coronavirus
- Free Courses That Teach About COVID-19
- List of Digital Learning Conferences Going Virtual Due to Coronavirus
Now, out of the ~140 courses announced by Coursera, many were already free but didn’t offer a certificate. I discovered using Class Central data that 115 previously had paid certificates, but these are now free. The entire list (subject to change without notice) can be found below.
In fact, I had previously discovered 1400+ courses that are completely free on Coursera. Many have certificates that you need to pay for, but access to all the course material, including graded assignments, is free. If you’re new to online education, have a look at our suggestions on how to learn online effectively.
Also, I asked Coursera why some people weren’t seeing the discount. After clicking on Go To Class on Class Central, when you arrive to the course page on Coursera, wait for the promotional banner to appear at the top, and only then click on Enroll for Free. If you don’t see the banner, please refresh. The gif below shows the steps to follow:
If you were already auditing a course listed here and would like to re-enroll to get the free certificate, here’s how: 1. Log into Coursera. 2. Go to My Courses. 3. Click on the three-dots icon on the top-right of the course card. 4. Click on Unenroll. Then, follow the steps in the gif above to re-enroll with a free certificate.
None of the courses belong to a Coursera Specialization. This offer is only valid until the end of 2020. Once you checkout, you will have 180 days to earn a certificate.
These courses come from ~50 universities including Penn, Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, Caltech, Duke, and Imperial College London. Courses from companies like Google and Amazon are also included.

Heartful thanks Mr. Shah. You’re a great person indeed. You couldn’t imagine how this website has changed our life. Bless you.
Bijan
Hello and thanks
Bijan from Iran country
Rose
Hi I just completed mindshif and I realized that I had applied to the free course. How can I get my free certificate now?
SOUMYOJIT DEY
YOU SHOULD HAVE NOT CLICKED THE FREE COURSE, BUT THE DOT POINT SHOWING THE FEES YOU HAVE TO PAY, THEN PAY @0
Amir Khan
go to the setting of coursera app and verify you ID. THEN CHECKOUT EMAIL.
Regina wyer
I signed up for 4 courses do I have a 180 to finish all five or to I have 180 days to finish each course
Ayesha Farrukh
Excuse me..!
I’m stuck at a point. Which other site through class central is providing courses with free certification? can plz someone help me? Coursera is done.
Stephan Vogel
Looks like only one of the courses can be taken (with certificate) for free.
Coursera Together: enroll today and get this course for free.
Your discount will be applied automatically at checkout. Offer is subject to change and valid through 5/31/20.
Discount applied at checkout. One-time use only. Offer valid until 5/31/2020, while supplies last.
At least this is how I interpret the “one-time use only”.
Molly
I thought the same thing but just signed up for a few courses with certificate for free. It must mean if you retake the course you will have to pay for the certificate, assuming it wasn’t earned the first time.
Hisham Al Faqih
are you get the certificates for free in all of them?
Nicole
yes, you do I have done like 6 already
Abid
What? Really… I did a course, passed assessment and no certificate… Psychological ist aid by john hopkins uni
Ajit
can you share your certificate here ? And it is free right ? No need to pay any buck ?
Kosha Gala
The one time discount appears after every course you enroll for. Just enroll for each seperately. I have enrolled for more than 3 and each of them is free. Don’t worry just separately go to the payment section and you are good to go.
Brandon
If I enroll, do I press that I want a certificate for 49 dollars or do I press on the one that says to enroll for free
Anitya jain
Press for the one with 49$ and the code will be automatically applied
Utkarsh
Do all these courses will provide a free certificate after the completion of course or just limited course will only?
Vikki
I’m trying to do this for Psychological First Aid but its either free with no certificate or $65 with certificate. When I click on $65 dollar option there is no discount applied, it just takes you to a link to pay.
Izzy
I don’t see a code when I do it, I just see the $49 fee. What should I be doing?
Tony
Are these so called free classes accredited.How will it benefit you within the workforce.Does employers recognize the courses from this institution ?.Can I take several classes online at one time for FREE.I do not want to waste my money as I have done before.I can’t afford to lose.
just another student
@ Tony
1. No, they are not accredited as they are not provided by an accredited institution. They are also not “so-called” as you put it, since they are classes and they are free, so maybe tone down the entitled grabby baby routine.
2. It will benefit in that you can put it on your resume.
3. Depends on the employer.
4. Yes, of course.
I’m sure you will be a ray of light in whatever workplace you wind up. I suggest you work on some soft skills too, bro.
chris
you can as well just keep the money and not take any risk at all.
Neha Sadruddin
It is showing the total amount to be paid which is 49$ and asking for the card details. Was it showing the total amount to be 0 or 49 when u enrolled?
Hermine
I have this same issue, can someone clarify this please? How do you skip inserting your credit ard details?
Ivan Vrbancic
Some courses are free but you have to pay for the certificate.
For example, I took 2 courses and for the first one (Creative Problem Solving) I have the discount but for the second (Science of Exercise) I need to pay for the certificate and to submit my answers on quizzes.
sajawal
just refresh the main page and a banner will come saying this course is free during covid-19 etc.
Nuria
I think it shoul dbe in 0, because I clicked pay with it saying 49 (since the previous window had said they would apply the discount on the checkout) and they took my 49$ with no discount anyways 🙁
Nuria
If it still says 49 dollars what you need to do is un-enroll from the course. When you enroll yourself in the course again, the banner will apear, and when you click yo pay for the certificate it wont even ask you to put in you card information 🙂
Ara
You need to click on the link in this article. Searching for the course directly on Coursera will not give the popup and does not offer the promo discount.
Ira
I took covid 19 course i passed the assessment it says there that the certificate is free and its fee is waived. When I enrolled I didn’t pay $49 but I can’t find the certificate.How’s that?
Meghna
Did you enroll for the free courses from the one same account or did you create more than one account and use one account for one each courses?
nikki
how to get certificate? i didn’t now that the course I enrolled is free with certificate. what should i do? I am verified also.
Meena
I did to unenroll from some which I used this method to pay for but I can’t unenroll them
Please help!
Sana ullah
Thanks to me shah for such an awesome efforts
Ron
Some courses still need to be paid to get a certificate. For example, De-Mystifying Mindfulness from Leiden University.
Dhawal Shah
I just tried it out. I can still access purchase it for free. It costs $30, but on checkout a discount is applied which makes the price as free.
Suheb Shrestha
so do we select “purchase course” or “audit only” when we get to coursera enroll?
Dam
Purchase Course, the code will be automatically applied, and the total will be 0
dee

Anatoly

Ameeth Paul

I am in need of any part which falls under it.. UX Testing/ Smoke Test/ Regression Test/ Usability Test…
If you could pls help with it. It will mean a lot to me.
Pls reach out to me!
Liliana Ramona Paraschiv
The one I’m taking said it had a free certificate but now is keep asking to pay the certificate every past lesson. weird.
Nilormi
I couldn’t find any course with a certificate at free of cost. For each course, if I am opting for certificate, the purchase option is popping up.
Dhawal Shah
You still need to purchase. On checkout a discount is applied and the price reduces to 0.
Nilormi
I did try but at the end they asking for payment method.
Yoong Lam
You just need to refresh your browser and let the site fully loaded then try again. I’ve been able to purchase several courses on above list for free.
Neha Sadruddin
It is showing the total amount to be paid which is 49$ and asking for the card details. Was it showing the total amount to be 0 or 49 when u enrolled?
Yusuf
just look this site on desktop version and then u can clik go to course
doclsi
Yes bro you are saying right..It demands card number etc for payment..
Bee
Hello sir,
After checking the details, most of the courses mentioned that “Paid Certificate Available” which means that only courses are free and I have to pay for the certificate?
Makireddi Venkatesh
Could you please explain what is check out ,I didn’t understand what is check out
talha
i have selected for Cloud Computing basic by learnquest, but at checkout it isnt giving any discount…….
Arthur
Some of these courses are free certificates and some are not. I also tried the De-Mystifying Mindfulness course and it is making me pay. New Business Models of Society, Fashion as Design, & Computer Vision Basics is the same. Some of these courses are in fact free like Science of Success – the discount thing shows up and takes care of it. However, many are not. I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way, but you need to revise your list as it is inaccurate.
Dhawal Shah
I was able to access Computer Vision Basics for free. Here is the proof: https://imgur.com/a/GRqZtFG
Do you have the mobile app installed? If so, I think this doesn’t work in there.
Win Shwesinkhine
I also tried the same course but it still need to be paid. I tired it on both website and mobile app.
Daniel Giron
It may sound weird, but you need to put in your card information first. Then right before you finalize the order, the discount should be applied.
Vincent
Introduction to TCP/IP is NOT FREE if it was only me that it wasnt available to than I would know that something is wrong from my end but when I have all my colleagues saying the same than theres something wrong, especially when we are asked to put our card details. Yes we read the instructions but the promotion banner wont appear. First of all Why have the pay option on it if its available for free at the moment?
Dam
I did the New Business Models of Society for free and with certificate. My wife did Fashion as Design for free also
Kou
I finished Fashion as Design long ago and I want to get the certificate for free right now but im not able to avail it.
Kanchan
The courses won’t be displayed in “my purchase”, will they?
Dhawal Shah
They don’t show up there for me. I can see it under In Progress in My Courses.
Mahnoor Shahid
Hello, What if I am unable to complete them before may 2020 will they all ask for payment?
Steady Chimhuva
I completed my course and payed $38 for my certificate but I can’t find it. Please help
wawan
Why this information not published officially from coursera ?
Dhawal Shah
Yup. They announced it here: https://blog.coursera.org/coursera-together-free-online-learning-during-covid-19/
Poornima
Same here
Carlos Jennings
I need to begin something now
Thks
ZH
Does this mean we need to COMPLETE the course before 31st May to get the certificate?
ahmad hany
If I enrolled in a course now but started it in June… would I still get the cert?!
Nuren
Yes, you will. You have to complete it within 180 days of after the course begins.
Anna
Do I need to be subscribed to Coursera ($60 per month) to be able to access the “free” course? When I tried enrolling to the Privacy Law and Data Protection class, I had to register and provide card details, so it sounds like I wouldn’t be charged for the class, but will be charged for the membership after the 7-day trial? Thanks!
Dhawal Shah
Anna, that course doesn’t offer a free certificate. But you can “audit” it for free. You can learn more here:

Usama
Tell me plz which course provides free certificate? I didn’t find any of something I missed plz inform me Thanks
Dr.Bhavana Sheth
Big cheat!
Initial temptation to register is natural as advertised”Free”.
Every course asks for money.
NOTHING FREE
HOLLIS c SANKAR
Then do for audit and beat the trap.
Dhawal Shah
You can reach out to Coursera here to get a refund: https://learner.coursera.help/hc/en-us

Unfortunately the social psychology course listed doesn’t have a free certificate.
Charla Williams
I regretfully passed this information on to my son before doing extensive research, It is very hard being too ill to continue working and not being able to afford your child a college education especially after knowing that is what he dreamed of since he was in the 3rd grade. This is a bit confusing and not secure.
Wajid
I completed the basic Chinese Language course, however, at the end of the course it says purchase the certificate in 202 Chinese RMB. Weired
Lejla Kevric
Hi, I am struggling to work out how to get the certificate for free. For example, Introduction to Philosophy from University of Edinburgh and De-Mystifying Mindfulness from Leiden University. However, they both ask for payment and no discount is applied. I have tried on my laptop several times. If you can please offer some assistance with this, it would be great.
Many thanks
Rajat
discount is applied at the checkout time.
Sara
Are they free for all classes or only specific classes?
Because when I click check out that need me to pay?
Nuno Pessanha
Thank you.
Introduction to TCP/IP from Yonsei University is not the free certificate
Jimoh Luqman Olayinka
I selected a course from the platform but I wasn’t given any direction.

I tried enrolling for the course ” Getting started with AWS Machine Learning – Amazon Web Services ” . I entered all the credentials such as card number , Expiry date & Cvv & i clicked on Pay Now . It is telling that ” Failed to join course ” .
Joel
It’s strange cause you just have to :
1. Select “Purchase Course” – don’t worry
2. “Continue”
3. Dialogue window with Total = $0 shows up. Click “Pay Now” to use your one free purchase.
This is the link:
https://www.coursera.org/promo/cloud-technology-free-courses
NOTE: Wait untill you see a banner like this : “Coursera Together: enroll today and get this course for free” on top page. If you don’t see the banner, refresh the page.

Marija Globarević
I have a problem with upgrading the course I’m doing right now (Psychological First Aid) to get the certificate for free, even tho it’s written that my promotion will be automatically applied. I tried refreshing, but noting is changing. Could you, please, help me?
Shwetabh S Verma
Same here. Completed the course. But do not know how to get the certificate. There was no certificate at the end and there were consistent reminders to buy the certificate. Not sure if this article is true.
Mareike
Same problem here 🙁 has somebody found help yet?
Rupam
Same here, anyone who got certificate?
V
I’m trying to enroll for Psychological First Aid but don’t know which option to pick – Free course with no certificate or the $65 course with certificate. When I pick $65 option it takes me to a payment screen with no discount applied?
Atia
I had no problem at all doing the course and getting the certificate. Did you go to it from this link here, or on the Coursera Website directly? Because it has to be from this link specifically.
Sara
Has your problem been fixed? I would like to enroll for that course but I want to understand if the free certificate is available
Techy
Can I get the free course along with the certificate that I want.
I there a promotional code type something that can be applied to all or the list of courses you have provided only.
Please answer
Dam
Only the courses on this list are free with certificate
Jason
It would be nice if CS50 offered the free certificate as well…
Dhawal Shah
They kinda do: https://www.classcentral.com/report/cs50-free-certificate/

I try to enroll for the course ” Data Science Math Skills”. It did not show any purchase option. But directly enrolled in the course. Probably I might have enrolled earlier. Or the course certificate is not free.

It may sound weird, but you need to put in your card information first. Then right before you finalize the order, the discount should be applied.
Amrit Raj
Go to your courses, press the three dot against your “Data Science Maths Skills” course and un-enroll. Your progress would have been saved. Now, again go to the course page and tap “Enroll for free”. This time click the option with “Certificate included”(A message would come at the bottom written “The discount will be applied at the checkout”). You’ll now reach to the checkout page with applied discount showing 0 payable amount. Click pay now and enjoy the course.

Hi. Is this offer not longer available? I tried to “enroll with certificate” but there is no longer the option to take it for free with certificate, only to audit for free. I read in the intro of this article that the free enroll period was extended until the end of July. Did I understand that wrong? I don’t get any discount in the checkout page
Thanks for all the updates and resources! Keep up the good work 🙂
S M Nazmuz Sakib
Hey, the offer is still present. Actually, you have to wait until the banner comes !
Amin Maqsood
In case you’re already enrolled, it won’t work. You would need to un-enroll it before you can enroll for free from here. This worked for me.
Refilwe S
Is this only for USA or worldwide?
Mushfique
The link for GO TO Class doesn’t work. What to do?
Brandon
I see a few repeat questions that I cannot find a posted answer to, so I’ll repeat them again.
1: If you sign up for a course and cannot complete it by the end of May, do you still get the free offer? Some of these courses say they are 12 weeks long which extends past that deadline.
2: Do you have lifetime access to material once you enroll, the same as on Udemy?
Would appreciate a timely response. Thank you.
Dhawal Shah
Hey Brandon,
I checked with Coursera. You have access to the course/certificate 180 days after checkout.
Hope this clarifies.
Nihal
hi Shah,
i just enrolled a free course today, (“Managing the Company of the Future”) and at the first stage itself, they asked for money, and in the final window, they showed total amount to pay 0/- by applying the discount automatically. Just now i tried to enroll another course which is written “Try for Free: Enroll to start your 7-day full access free trial” (course name: “Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate”) , it is showing like “₹3,617 per month to continue learning after trial ends.
Go as fast as you can – the faster you go, the more you save.”
So after completing 7 day free trial, do i have to paythe said amount to continue the rest of my course? please make me clear.
Dhawal Shah
The second course you signed up is not part of this promotion and you will have to pay to continue.
Only the courses in the above list offer a free certificate. They rest of the courses might be free to audit. Here is to signup for audit mode (if the option exists): https://www.classcentral.com/report/coursera-signup-for-free/

Hello Dhawal,
thanks for the offer. I enrolled in Machine Learning for Business Professionals course without waiting for the discount offer to pop-up. Is there a way I could unenroll and re-enroll, this time while waiting for the discount offer?
Manoel Cortes Mendez
Yes, it’s possible. We’ve just added instructions at the top explaining how to unenroll and re-enroll with a certificate.
Panch
Will we lose the progress made so far in the course if we unenroll and then re-enroll in the same course ?
Mina Balalzadeh
Hello Dawal
Im like to learn “Social Psychology by Wesleyan University” and I enrolled that, but this course has no Persian language!
Can you help me and translate this course or add Persian subtitle for this course ?
Thanks

Use the transcript option below video and Google Translate
Haider Ali
Hi Dhawal,
I just enrolled in a course. This course showing the start date of 6th April 2020. Should I wait for the start date or start my course by watching videos and doing tasks by now?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
vaibhav gupta
hey Mr.shah
I’m facing a problem while enrolling for this particular course Introduction to Chemistry: Structures and Solutions from Duke University but when went enroll for computer vision basics the promotion banner came but in the previous one didn’t please check this out and this also happening in Introduction to TCP/IP from Yonsei University, The Language of Design: Form and Meaning from California Institute of the Arts, Guitar for Beginners from Berklee College of Music is this happening because the courses are full or there is some other problem???
Juan
They still ask at the enrol to either pay xx$ dollar for certificate or free just audit option with no certificate, When reading i understand that the certificate you will get for free for the certain amount of courses offered to help keep people busy and to develop skill sets and to better fall back and help build a professional career and elevate the already collapsing economy.
So you can enrol for free, do the courses for free via audit, but at the end to show you passed and are competent you still have to pay x amount to receive the certificate, i am not clear on how its free tho.
Even tho for some i do not mind paying the x amount to receive the certificate to publish and add to CV for better chances of landing dream jobs or getting your foot in the door at companies.
Could someone please clarify my misty thoughts.
Thanks
Elle Fabs
up for this!
Same thoughts…. please send us some help here
Dam
For the courses on this list (or at least for 7 that I made this past weeks), the course is free and the certificate is free. This courses have a banner on the upper side of the page, when you sign up for the course, go for the “pay” option and a discount will be made, so you have the full course, certificate and all.
Ron
For all the courses listed above, the enrollment, as well as the certificate, is free of charge. A discount will be applied automatically when you check out.
Lala
Thank you so much, this is fantastic!
Rishi
I don’t know how to thank you, these courses are going to change my life! A big thanks to you sir

Thanks for sharing this info.
Initially I wasn’t able to enroll for “Machine Learning for Business Professionals” for FREE.
Chatting with Support fixed my issues:
1. Use Personal computer
2. Use https://www.coursera.org/promo/cloud-technology-free-courses
3. Select my course from the page
4. Select “Purchase Course” – don’t worry
5. “Continue”
6. Dialogue window with Total = $0 shows up. Click “Pay Now” to use your one free purchase.
Thanks again.

Introduction to TCP/IP isn’t free. I wanted to avail that course. Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

For the COVID-19: What You Need to Know (CME Eligible) from Osmosis, the banner doesn’t pop up and getting the certificate requires money. Is there a reason why, or am I doing something wrong?
Dhawal Shah
This one is a bit weird. I get the popup sometimes, but not always. I am not sure why this happens.
Lisa
That’s right! I was NOT getting any banners popping up yesterday. Today, again, no luck. But I kept refreshing and now they have the banner popping up. So I guess, sometimes you’ll see them and other times not…

This is the second time I try to enroll for free with certificate included but the system does not allow me even following the instructions of enrollment. I cannot even enroll myself with No Certificate. I get caught in the personal information page.

Jojo
Thank you for offering these free certificate courses.
I am trying to take “Tricky American English Pronunciation” and just finished week 1 course material. Provided that I had proceeded the “payment” of USD$49 for the course, after finishing week 1 course material, it requested me to pay USD$79 for upgrading the course for submitting my homework & quiz for week 1 as well as for earning certificate.
If I am not going to pay such USD$79, meaning I will not be able to submit all homework & quiz for the course. Will I still be able to get a certificate?
Thank you.
jatinder dutta
sir i have enolled for courseera days ago and now i have applied for the course as shown here but i am not able to avail the course for free.

Hi.
I have already enrolled 2 courses from this list without certificate last month.
Is it possible to apply for certificate now as it is free?
Please advise the process in case of a possibility.
Michelle
I too enrolled few courses few days ago without the certificate which are under the free certificate promo now. i too need this advise!!
Rhonda
I am in a similar situation and would like to know how to update my courses to include the free certificate or how to cancel and re-enrol for the free certificate.

Duplicate response:
Done some further research and found the following link that may be of assistance to others in a similar circumstance of being enrolled and not completed prior to this offer:
https://learner.coursera.help/hc/en-us/articles/208279756-Unenroll-from-a-course
Manoel Cortes Mendez
Yes, it’s possible. You simply need to unenroll from the course, then re-enroll. We’ve added instructions on how to do that at the top of the article.
Sarah
You don’t even need to unenroll it provided that you’ve already finished the course. I finished 2 courses before knowing about it. I just follow the link through class central, go to my completed courses and clicked purchase certificate. And it’s free!
KRISHNENDU
Very helpful list. I got enlisted to 7 courses and spread it in my social domain so that most of us could get benefitted from this great piece of information. Thanks, CC.

Hello Mr Shah,

Hey!
Thanks a lot for the post!
I have a question, how much time I get to complete the course? Every course shows a one week due time for each weeks’ lecture to be completed. If I can’t complete first weeks’ lecture within the first week, will I lose the course?
Please, do help.
Thank you again!
Dhawal Shah
The schedule is just a suggestion, you don’t have to stick to it. You can always move your progress to the next session if you fall behind.

Thanks a lot man! Appreciate it!
Anush
Hi! Have a question regarding 85 free certificates till May 31.
I want to choose Social Psychology, and I see the discount on Coursera, it’s ok. But the thing is that the course itself takes 7 weeks, but May 31 will come in 6 weeks, so will I receive the certificate?
What should I do?
Thanks
Dhawal Shah
Once you “purchase” you have 180 days to get the certificate.

Dear Dhawal,
This is amazing! I am so excited.
However, Dhawal it would be lovely to find a few free certificate courses for Law topics as well.
I list doesn’t cover any law courses. 🙁

If I have enrolled in a course (which should be having 180 days to complete it), I unenrolled it after that to re-enroll for the free cert, is there an extension of 180 days? Thanks

Great course! Inspiring! Great instructors

I had already started a course before I saw this promotion. If I unenroll and re-enroll to get the free certificate, will I lose all of the progress I have made in the course to date?

Thank you very much for this really helpful list! Just would like to inform that this course: “COVID-19: What You Need to Know (CME Eligible) from Osmosis” is NOT free, I tried several times and each time it asked me to pay.
Required
I took it, and it was free for me WITH certificate. You will be prompted to pay, but then the price is discounted to $0 during checkout. When you go to enroll, you MUST make sure the promotional banner is displayed on the page, otherwise the promo code doesn’t get applied, and you won’t get the discount.

Venjie Oclaret
Sir, I’m glad that I’ve come across your post. I was able to enroll in 3 courses and was able to purchase the courses (with free certificate for each) at zero cost. For those wondering how that’s possible, just click the course listed by Mr Shah above. You will then be directed to a site (not Coursera yet). Then, click GO TO CLASS (far-right of the screen). You are then directed to Coursera, just scroll up and down until on top of the page, you’ll see a dialogue box telling you that you can take the course for free. Click enroll, choose the one with $ payment. At check-out, automatically the course fee goes to zero.
Lizi Kupatadze
Hi,
Do I get the free certificate if I register before May 30th but finish the course later?
Don
Would you be explain in more detail how you were able to find out these courses offer free certificates? Do they have different http address or must be generated from a promo? Just really curious how you went through all that.
Further, now I see that the deadline is July 31. I was wondering if you are going to update if more courses will be offered that offer certificates and if it will be updated in this blog or somewhere else.
Thank you!
Dhawal Shah
Yes, the plan is to update the course list soon. I did a quick check and found there were some new courses (and maybe some courses that were removed).
You can follow the links in the Coursera announcement post to see all the courses. Its a bit cubersome because they are spread across different pages/categories. We just compiled them into a single page. And yes there is a promo based on the category. We automatically add them to our Course pages.
Donald
Great!
Thank you so much. Looks like Coursera’s offer has extended to July but does that mean we will have to complete within 180 days if we purchased for free certificate in May? Or do we simply unenroll and enroll?
It’s not a huge deal but just wanted to see what my options are so I can prioritized.
Thanks for all you do!

This course isn’t offering a free certificate. Please look into it if you can help.

Sahil
The coursera banner says “Discount applied at checkout. One-time use only. Offer valid until 7/31/2020, while supplies last”.
Any idea what “while supplies last” means? Is it a per course enrollment limit or for the entire suite of free courses?
Hazal
I was wondering the same thing…
Kerstin Heimann
Hello,

Thank you for your help.

Hello!
I’ve just completed the ‘Managing the Company of Future’ course. I thought I was going to get the certificate for free as per this post, but it is asking me to pay €45.
Could you please help? I do not know what I’ve done wrong.
Thanks a lot!
Richard
Hi Dhawal,
Thanks for compiling such a wonderful list for all of us.
Just wanna ask a quick one.
It was stated that there will be 180 days to earn the certificate upon checkout, but once I earned it, will I get lifetime access to the content?
Cheers.
Dhawal Shah
I think you can still access the content as long as it’s hosted on Coursera, but will loose access to graded assignments.
Bilal Mohmand
thank you so much Mr shah i just Applied for 4 courses and its all free with a certficate
just click on the course here and wait a second the click on enroll free button select the purchase option it will take you directly to 100 % discount free of cost
Required
Thanks for the list. I tried one course so far, and it worked. I was able to take the course WITH certificate for free. I see from some of the other comments people have had trouble. You MUST make sure the promotion banner appears on the course page, or no discount will be applied during checkout. If you don’t see the promotional banner, try refreshing the page, or visit the page using the links provided on this site (as the url has additional parameters appended which seem to help trigger the banner).
Nick
Thanks for this! I will definitely attempt a course the next weeks.
Panch
Will we lose the progress made so far in the course if we unenroll and then re-enroll in the same course ?

Where did the course: Probability and Statistics: To p or not to P? in this list go?
I the course on the list a few days ago but I am unable to find it now.

Unfortunately, Coursera removed the course from the courses that offer free certificate.
jayant pathak
I have just checked some courses…but those are not free instead it is going to direct payment page while enrolling… Did refresh it too many times … What to do?
muqaddas amin
those courses which are not showing COVID-19 notification , are not free at all . you have to pay for purchasing certificate.
Tina
Great article, thank you. I found this very useful!
Hannah VC
Thanks for this! I enrolled in Strategy of content marketing and initially it was free but now when I go to “My courses” there’s a notice to “upgrade to get a certificate”
If i follow the steps to unenroll and enroll again, would I lose my progress? I’m already in week 4.. hope you can recommend best action to take. Thanks in advance!
L
I just unenrolled and reenrolled my course (different from yours) and my progress was preserved. I should say when I clicked on unenroll, a prompt came up telling me my progress will be preserved and asking for confirmation, so if you click on unenroll and no such prompt comes up, be careful.
Aneesh
Thanks a lot Dhawal. This was extremely helpful. I am glad that I found this resource. I would like you to tell that I completed 10 of these courses, technical and non technical. Thank you again
L
I am not sure if my problem is the same as anyone’s, but I enrolled last month in Think Again and I have just completed it. However, the certificate is not free. I am pretty sure I selected the wrong option of “Free course” as opposed to “purchase course” when enrolling.
I am doing another course which I have not finished and I am sure I made the same mistake with this one too, but I was able to un-enrol/re-enrol and do it properly this time. Whether it will result in a free cert is still to be seen. Unfortunately I can’t even un-enrol/re-enrol Think Again since I have completed the course. Is there a way to make the cert for Think Again free now?
Sunny
Dear Dhawal, thank you for creating this website and share all the wonderful education resources. Much appreciated. 🙂
Gary Juliano
I would just like to say I’m not sure how I found class central but somehow I stumbled upon. I think this is one of the best things I have done in a long time, I am taking courses I totally could not afford I didn’t think they were accredited but I’m doing for self enhancement I have been recommending to others. I would like to thank everyone involved with this, I appreciate more than a simple Thank you but for now that will have to do. Thank you so much & I would hope many others have expressed that also.
Agapito D. Castillo Jr
Thank you very much! I already finished two courses and automatically received my e-certificate.
I hope someday another set of courses will give 100% free to enroll.
God bless.

Did you get the certificate instantly?

Good day Dhawal,

I have followed the same procedure mentioned above to enroll the course.Has anyone received the certificate yet? Just wanted to confirm whether we receive a certificate at the end or not?

Dear Dhawal and all,
Thank you so much for sharing the links in this wonderful website. I have learnt alot from the courses in the past 2 months during the lockdown. I have completed 8 courses and am planning to tackle a few more before July. Wishing you all the best and take care.

The enrollment option was just there yesterday. But when I came back today. I cant see the enrollment option anywhere, on any of the courses mentioned above. What’s happened.
Vanessa
I am currently enrolled into two courses from Coursera from this list and was interested in joining a third one from this list as well (medical neuroscience). However, it is not allowing me to enroll for free like it did with my other two courses. I have also followed the instructions in waiting for a banner to show up, have refreshed my browser and have even tried clearing out my cookies…no luck. Just like the comment above mine, I am also experiencing the same issue.
Racha
Hi i’m taking a free course with free certificate that you said the offer will be expired in the end of july so if i don”t finish the course before july i won’t have the certificate?

Hi,
“ If you were already auditing a course listed here and would like to re-enroll to get the free certificate, here’s how: 1. Log into Coursera. 2. Go to My Courses. 3. Click on the three-dots icon on the top-right of the course card. 4. Click on Unenroll. Then, follow the steps in the gif above to re-enroll with a free certificate.”
I have finished the course (for free) so there is no option to “re enroll” it.
Can you advise how to get the free certification?
Thanks

Hi Dhawal Shah thank you for the wonderful oppourtunity you created for us. I purchased some of the courses for free. Did I want to complete all the courses before 31st July 2020? Or I can learn it later at anytime and I can earn free certificate whenever I completed the courses?. Please let me know.
Meghna
Hi,
I went to enroll for one of the free certificate courses above. During checkout, it doesn’t show “Pay Now” button or anything like that. It simply says “Go To Course”.
After I click go to course, It is not showing in my purchases. Please help..

I just enrolled in a couple of free Coursera certificate courses, but since it looks like the pandemic continues, is it possible the deadline can be extended to the last day of August instead, for those of us who discovered these great offerings a bit late?

To avail the courser together offer, follow these steps:
Firstly it would be better if you use the website (desktop version) rather than the mobile app.
– Go to the course through Class Central link (Use the Go to Class button).
– Wait till the page loads completely and the promotion banner appears (Refresh if it doesn’t or try again later).
– Click on the Enroll for free button, you’ll see the a page which can have options (If it is available for free without certificate or can be audited).
– Choose the paid option which has the amount stated with a strikethrough. It should state that ‘the promotion will be applied at checkout’. Then click Continue.
– You’ll be redirected to the cart, make sure it shows Total amount: 0.
You may be given the option to simply Go to Course or you will have to do the entire payment procedure of amount = 0 (like filling in the card details and everything).
– Congratulations, you’ve successfully enrolled to the full course and will be getting a certificate on completion at no cost.
You have 180 days after enrolling into a course to finish it.
Note: You will not see this course in your purchases but you can see it under ‘My Courses’ section.
Note: Mostly you won’t be able to unenroll form a course if you have used the offer.
Note: You can enroll in as many courses as you want. But the offer is applicable only once per course per account.
If by mistake you’ve actually paid for a course while trying to avail the offer, you can definitely ask for a refund. Check this to know more about refunds: https://learner.coursera.help/hc/en-us/articles/208280266#collapsecc_refund_policies
If you are one of those who have JUST RECENTLY audited a course or enrolled for free where you won’t get a certificate, you can unenroll from the course and re-enroll using the promotion offer so that you can get a certificate as well.
Note: I’m not sure if you’ll retain your progress or not and that’s the reason I mentioned JUST RECENTLY. Mostly you would retain, it’s just that I’m not totally sure.
I’m just a student and I had similar doubts so I wrote this up to clarify them for me as well as for all of you. I hope I was able to help solve the major queries that we had.
I actually wanted to know how can I reset my deadlines to sooner or later, I would like if someone could help me with this. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Sushmita

So I enrolled into the AWS Computer Vision: Getting Started with GluonCV course, and that if im not able to finish this course by 2020, that means I have to pay to continue? or will it mean an automatic payment so then I’ll have to cancel and unenroll from this course, with no chance of a refund?
Thanks.

So far I have been able to apply the promo to all the courses I’ve taken. The promo banner for the course ‘Intro to programming with Matlab’ one of their listed free course however, doesn’t pop up. (Can only enroll for 7 day free trial). Would love to know if there’s anyway to go about this. Thanks
Wes
I’m having the same problem.
Abha
I tried to enroll in this course-
Inspiring Leadership through Emotional Intelligence from Case Western Reserve University
but it isn’t showing the free banner for me.
When I clicked on enroll, it guided me to a payment page, to access 7-day free trial.
I only want to this course, not any others in the specialization.
Please help.
Dhawal Shah
Looks like this course was converted from a standalone course into a course that is part of a specialization. This means that a free certificate is no longer offered.
You can signup still signup for free (without the certificate). Instructions here: https://www.classcentral.com/report/coursera-signup-for-free/

Recently, I completed some courses on above list, but when I viewed my certificate, I did not find instructor signature on it. What should i do? How to contact Coursera? Thanks.
Patricia
Please ignore this message & that above question, I already contact Coursera. Thanks.
Sooraj
So just like you said, I’ve attended the course named Psychological First Aid but I can’t find any option to get the certificate after the completion of the course. On the profile tab under the course’s name, there’s a tagline “buy the certificate” but when I open it, it’s taking me to the course. So I am stuck right now. Have you got any idea how to fix this? (I enrolled using the discount but now I can’t find the certificate)

I though all of the courses listed above are free. though when I checked the proggraming intro for MATLAB is still requires you to pay a fee.
Akhil
Hi Dhawal, thank you for the amazing list of free courses.
Although, some courses such as “English for Journalism, “Transmedia Storytelling” etc.. show as FREE on the Coursera homepage, none of them have the promo link attached to them, and end up asking for payment.
I have attached the screenshot link below, please take a look and advise me on the same. –

The only course I have seen with the fee waived is the Covid Contract Tracing course. All of the others have a fee or need the monthly fee.
Um

Steven Coppard

thank you so much for the chance to do the courses for free

Some courses cannot be enrolled with a full disscout now listed above. And one more problem, I cannot unenroll the course by clicking the 3-dots bottom because it turns out only assess the course, but no bottom of enrolling.
Anu
Hello Class central ,
i have doubts. i don’t want to pay for entire Coursera plus or subscription thing or free trail for 7 days. i only want to learn for free courses without certificates and paid courses with certificates separately. What should i do?
rasheed

Alva
Hi, is the free certificate promotion still active?
I’m not getting any promotional banner when I click into “go to class”, and it’s asking for 62 dollars for the certificate.
I’ve tried on two courses – Social Psychology and The Arts and Science of Human Relationships.
Please let me know, thanks, Alva

Unfortunately, we don’t know either. It’s been a while since Coursera has announced new free certificates.
