If you've ever heard of auditing a class - that's exactly what this is. You get the knowledge, but you don't take tests or get actual credit. It's like sitting in the classroom as an observer, but the advantage of it being online is that the courses are self-paced. You do have to pay, IF you want a certificate verifying that you took the class.
Many colleges and universities offer similar programs. Googling "free Harvard courses" brought up the link above. Substitute "Harvard" with the name of the school you're interested in to see if they offer a similar program.

Carl Sagan would be in awe if he were still here.
I've been using ChatGPT to learn it by asking what I want it to do and then do that and test the code it provides.
It's great way to learn for me who is terrible at tests and studying.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank quark4
I work at one of the largest corporations in the world, and hire frequently. We made an offer to a candidate, he accepted it right away, and we started the background verification. It was during this phase that we found that the candidate had misrepresented an online course as a real credential. The offer was rescinded and the candidate was blacklisted.
After years of this abuse of big government stupidity. People say the answer is big government. Big government created the issue. Remember every $1. In taxes in less then 30% actually makes it to where it's supposed to.
This is a great post thank you Op. Free and near free education.
The world needs ditch diggers too. Learn a trade.
Read some history books to understand the larger and more powerful a government gets the worse the people suffer.
Also I paid for my education via summer jobs and working part time during college. GI Bill is a great way to get a free education. FYI.

I took some courses for fun back in like 2019 an they were teaching me stuff the nutrition community already was annexing. It was online so I was weight lifting while attending (srs; I listened while benching). But totally useless if eduction was my purpose
SD site/app has some issues with the redirect pointing to a site that is not https, which probably is hurting some sort of bottom line.
go dot redirectingat dot com
It's been that way for a couple days.

otherwise they can fire you later for lying about your education if you try to lie or imply you graduated from the actual institution.
Besides there is an abundance of knowledge free or subsidized today than ever before so it boils down to the individuals time, competency, and willingness. I would go to Kahn academy (a pay a sub) which had vastly better training than the in class for my kids, especially in math.
Do you feel textbooks on say Calculus should cost as much as they do?
It's not like how Calculus works has changed suddenly, right?
Mind you that education is considered a common good. Educated people are more valuable to society. They.ideally will make better decisions, require less government support and pay more taxes, due to higher earnings.
That's as opposed to fattening filthy rich universities that has massive endowment exceed major corporations.
