Non-Credit vs For-Credit Courses

[Vle045]

I only do non-credit courses when they're free or low-cost, but I've also been fortunate to receive free access to LinkedIn Learning via schools attended and my current employer. My current employer also gives free access to Skillsoft.

I am with you on that. I tend to sign up for most of the free courses that interest me.  Sometimes too many at a time.  I complete some of them but not all of them.   So many interesting opportunities for very little cost or free.

LinkedIn Learning - I have that through my current school.
Sophia - I have free as an Avon Rep until March 2023, but these would be technically for-credit for most people.
ASU - I signed up for the free 100 million learners courses.  Those can later be for-credit, but no one knows the fee for that.
USF - I finished the Diversity equity and inclusion certificate that was free last year.
Coursera Plus - This one is not free, but they usually have a nice discount in January for the year.
American Dream Academy - opportunity to get one free for-credit certificate.
Walden University - Finished free term with non-credit business essentials courses.  I was hoping to finish at least one for-credit course but didn’t quite get there.  I don’t think they offer the free term any more.
eRasmussen - they have several free certificates, but I have not signed up for any. 
Troy University - they have two free courses this summer starting on Monday.
