Our free online courses deliver the same rigorous education and relevant learning outcomes as their paid counterparts. Each course is developed with the expertise and curriculum standards of top-tier educational institutions and industry professionals to ensure a robust and comprehensive learning experience. With the paid verified track, learners have access to graded assignments, exams, and a university or industry certificate upon course completion. Some courses on edX are also part of a professional certificate program, where learners earn valuable credentials through a series of courses. Verified learners earn a professional certificate upon completion of all the courses in the program.

While it is possible to earn university credits with free online courses, it is important to confirm with your university’s transfer credit policies and degree fulfillment requirements before starting. edX’s MicroBachelors and MicroMasters programs can also grant credits eligible for applying towards a full degree, subject to the policies of the credit-accepting institution.
