The Free Course Access Guide
A single printable page comparing free trial online course platforms — trial length, whether a card is required, and whether the certificate is really free. The research from every guide on this site, condensed into one reference you can check before you sign up anywhere.
What's inside
- A side-by-side chart of major platforms' free trial length and card requirements.
- Which platforms issue free certificates, and which gate them behind an upgrade.
- Direct links to each platform's actual signup page — not a redirect maze.
- A one-page format built to print or keep open in a second tab while you sign up.
