Udacity doesn't offer certificates for their courses. However, you can take any of their courses for free. You'll just need to sign up for a free account. This is what OMSCS had to say on their blog about taking classes ahead of time:
While these classes share the exact content Georgia Tech OMSCS students use, they do not include the projects and exams that are part of the program. We hope that the course content will empower our students to learn advanced concepts in engineering that can help them succeed in their careers. Successful completion of these courses will not earn a Udacity certificate but will be great preparation for students seeking to pursue the graduate degree at Georgia Tech, earn a professional education certificate with GTPE or just reference different engineering concepts.
