Excellent Find.  It's a $125 value.

Anyone complete an ed2go program?

One website says:
The ed2go network consists of more than 1,800 top colleges, universities, and other organizations. Each ed2go course can be taken from home or the office, as they are taken completely online over a 6 week period. Each course will be lead by a well- qualified instructor, and through an accredited college in your area. Once enrolled, students will be able to engage with their classmates, post questions and comments, and take quizzes that are automatically graded upon completion. Upon successful completion of the course assessment, a certificate will be awarded.

They never say who issues the Certificate.  You pay the College/University, but do they?  After does it show on an official college transcript?  Is this just some third party profit for colleges?

I have done an ed2go series through a local university for internet and social media marketing. The certificates say the university name on them. They are non-credit and will not show up on a transcript.

Here's another college with the same courses for free.

Same courses at Joliet Junior College:

Okay, so if anyone wants to take these things, Auburn University is now offering these free classes. I would think that would be the best looking certificate:

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is now offering these same free non-credit Ed2Go classes. I suppose the best use case in this situation is to find a college/university close to one's location and take them from there so that they fit nicely on a resume:
