Improve your skills with Alison, the Free online education portal

Postby kat82 » 16 Oct 2018, 08:58

I have heard and seen many people say “I didn’t study because I had no money”. This slogan to me is no longer applicable since technology has almost made everything easy. If you can’t find school fees and etc, how about using the free learning option available on the Internet?

Whether you want to study a professional course for example about health, computers, apps development, scientist, and etc, Alison is known to offer all of the above and thousands of more others which anyone can make use of and improve their skills.

A friend of mine recently got a Diploma in Android apps development from Alison. The only cost he met was for the PDF diploma parchment since it had to be mailed from Alison base to his address here in Uganda. This friend of mine now boosts to own an International recognized diploma, and which is indeed real.

From upgrading one’s English to learning practical know how, fact is Alison free online learning and education can help you reach a goal or target for as long as one is determined and willing.

Who is Alison?

According to Wikipedia, Alsion, an e-Learning online portal was found in 2007 by one Mike Feerick in Galway, Ireland. To date, Alison demonstrates a wide range of subjects and topics covering almost anything and everything that can be learnt. The reason why they exist is to offer free education to those in need no matter the origin, tribe or even race.

What kind of courses does Alison offer?

Alison offers both certificate and diploma courses in the various subjects. When you visit their portal, you will be welcomed by a wide range of subjects and topics which you can chose from. Alison has more than “1000 high quality courses available across 9 distinct categories”. They include but not limited to Health, humanities, science, marketing, business, lifestyle, information technology, math and etc.

Who qualifies to study free on Alison?

Many of those who “claim” that I didn’t study must not be serious. The fact is that Alison is free for all people no matter where you belong or even come from. An example is me, I am studying on Alison. But I come from Uganda, a country located in Africa. I have so far studied more than 5 courses two being diplomas and the rest being certificates. Rest be assured that anyone including you and others qualify.

Requirements to join Alison?

Let me be honest on this. One requirement I can say is internet. Many of you have smartphones and computers which makes you qualify. But of course, you need internet connection to access the portal. Also, an email address. That is all.

How to join and get started with Alison free education?

- Visit Alison website
- Click sign up
- Enter first, last name, email and password of choice.
- Hit sign up and follow email verification.

That is all. Bingo you are done. No more “I didn’t study” slogans.

You said it - if you want to learn the information is there and it's free of cost. I like how these programs are not restricted and people are free to learn just about any subject they desire.

It's good news we can access thru mobile because I don't have computer. About the certificate..how can we get it aside from paying? Do we need to take an online exam before they give certificate? How much is the cost per certificate?

One of them is Diploma in project management. Good one, that's my comment on it. With this Diploma, I learnt how to deal with projects right from conception to end. Truth is I am able to do monitoring, evaluation, appraisal, feasibility studies and so forth. The knowledge and skills I acquired have been helpful towards helping me handle my small business. That is why Immediately after, I added a service of project management and consulting. People are coming, work is moving on and am at least doing what I learnt from Alison.

Also, you can try LinkedIn Learning. You can get a certificate right after finishing a course. You can enjoy the free courses for a month, and if you wish to extend, you have to pay a certain amount.

This is my first time to hear about LinkedIn learning. I will search for it and see if it works for me.

I have used Alison to learn new skills and also upskill myself. It is similar to Udemy but a free platform. They also have premium version.
