Hi everyone! I discovered this deal online, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience learning with Amity Future Academy? It appears to be comparable to Udacity, and the deal looks pretty sweet to me.

Quote:What is Free Learning Month?
Amity Future Academy launching free learning month. During this month you will get free access to programs designed by world-class universities and industry experts for free.
Do I get a certificate of completion?
Yes, you will get the certificate from Amity Future Academy on the completion of each course.
What do you think? There are some programs that are really interesting, but I am a little wary as I have never heard about them before.

Looked interesting, but the topics covered in the courses I have a bit of background in (Data Science, Machine Learning and Cybersecurity) seem like they only go over some pretty surface-level. Also looks pretty new, they were established in 2019:
https://www.highereducationdigest.com/am...e-academy/
BS in Data Science & Analytics and BA in Computer Science and Mathematics at TESU (June 2019 to June 2020)
In-progress:
MS in Cybersecurity at NYU (January 2021 to December 2022?)
MCIT in Information Security and Assurance at NAU (September 2020 to March 2021)

Since a "diploma" is not the same as a "degree" (or even a certificate), you're fine. You're just going to learn some stuff. You don't even have to tell anyone about it if you don't think it's worth anything. You don't have to finish either, you can just quit if you don't think it's worth your time.

It will be our little secret.
BTW, this link seems to suggest that Amity collaborated with eCornell on the data science certificate:

But the linked post was talking about getting your degree there, this post is about free online courses. Not sure what the problem would be in utilizing free stuff...
