Alison
About
Alison is an Ireland-based e-learning platform, founded to provide free online courses, lectures, and video-lectures, enabling users to study at their own pace. Operating on a freemium and proprietary license model, all courses are free to take, with users having the option to pay for ad removal or to obtain official certificates, diplomas, and attestation letters upon achieving an 80% or higher score in rigorous assessments. While its certifications are not institutionally recognized, Alison distinguishes itself by its serious approach to assessment, tracking attempts and providing a unique student ID for achievement verification, positioning it as a strong contender among both free and paid online learning platforms.
