We live in a time when studying has long existed, both offline and online. Now you can find many educational platforms on the Internet that help you get a new or additional education at the highest level. There are both Russian and foreign sites. One of the most popular is Coursera, which has earned a place in the niche of this industry.
Personally, I can't say that this is my favorite platform, I am more inspired by Future Learn, which has earned my love not only with its user-friendly interface and learning scheme but also with a very interesting number of programs presented on it.
However, today we will talk about something else…
Coursera offers us a wide range of certification and diploma programs, but as you should expect, you have to pay for everything good.
And Coursera here is no exception…
But do not be upset if there is no money for the program of your dreams…
Take a closer look and find one small phrase that will help you get a certificate for FREE. Financial Aid.
I must say right away, not all programs provide financial aid, so if you don't find this phrase, I'm sorry... You will have to pay)
