[2024] Massive List of Thousands of Free Certificates and Badges

The single largest collection of free certificate courses available online, curated for you by Class Central.

In this article, read by over 10M people, Class Central has compiled the single largest collection of free certificate courses available online.

Certificates can motivate learners to complete online courses. When the modern online course movement began, platforms like Coursera and edX offered free certificates. But by 2015, these had largely been replaced by paid ones.

Fortunately, universities like Harvard and Stanford still offer some free certificates. And so do platforms like FutureLearn and LinkedIn Learning. Finally, companies like Google and Microsoft also started offering free certificates to promote their products.

Free certificates can be hard to find. So we compiled them all here, testing each platform, and earning a few certificates ourselves along the way. We’ve spent many hours on this article, and we’ll continue to update it.

If you know a free certificate not listed here, please share it in the comments.

While Coursera and edX are not currently offering free certificates, you can learn from almost all of their courses for free.

Please note, Class Central is not involved in running the courses or issuing certificates. This is a dynamic field and you may discover that a course you choose is no longer available, or doesn’t have a free certificate any more. We recommend you always check before starting a course.

          For a verified certificate, you need to pay. Verified certificates are supposed to be shown if you are applying to a job because it makes it easier but I don’t think its worth learning. You will be able to get a free certificate without the silver shiny thing (which means its verified.)

    Is there anything comparable to this for the non-STEM students?
    Would love to see more history, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, humanities, theology, and criminal justice type courses.
