Yes this course is offered full online just fill the form and join the meetings they will interview you later to check if you qualify for the free web design course.
I did this course months ago, you need to participate in the virtual class session almost 3 hours daily the course length it is about 12 weeks of study to finished this courses one is the beginners and advance web design course.

@gams007, just wondering for the virtual classes, are these set times? Do they have different hours to select from?
RE: free 7 credit course - Cofffeee - 12-27-2021
I tried to enroll in web dev course in August and.was told- i have to attend some classes in person.
I wonder if this one is the same .... hope its fully online
RE: free 7 credit course - rachel83az - 12-27-2021
When I did this, it was entirely online. There was exactly one class time. If you couldn't make it to the Zoom sessions, too bad. You needed to be able to attend. For anyone in Europe, these were 2-3 hour classes held in the middle of the night (evening in the USA). Attending from 1-4am is a bit rough, IMO.
That said, if your schedule permits, it's a decent credit opportunity for this who can take it.

That is true Rachel I recommend any one who need RA credits to take this opportunity it completely free for 7 credits, is very important to participate in the zoom meeting to get enrolled.
RE: free 7 credit course - Goldilocks! - 01-04-2022
For those of you who completed these courses in a previous cohort, do you need to be on camera during the zoom classes? I’m thinking of doing this, but the set times are during dinner and my kids’ bedtime routines, so I’m curious if I could make this work. If I don’t have to be onscreen for the three hour classes, that might work.
RE: free 7 credit course - rachel83az - 01-05-2022
At least in the previous cohort I was in, most students were never on camera during the evening class and the mics were muted unless you needed to ask a question. Several students made dinner and/or put kids to bed during class. I only know this because sometimes someone forgot to mute their mic and you could hear pots and pans or rambunctious kids being herded off to bed.
Due to the nature of the program, they're pretty forgiving about things like that.

Just to update those who are interested in the courses for future. Apparently they refuse to offer it for those who are outside USA.
