free courses
No-cost learning options
Free courses are educational classes or programs offered at no cost to the learner.
The term typically refers to online learning: I took several free courses on web development.
Universities, companies, and platforms like Coursera and Khan Academy offer free courses ranging from casual introductions to rigorous certificate programs.
The adjective free distinguishes them from paid alternatives, though some free courses charge for certificates or additional features.
