Are Alison courses free?

That means that we are allowed to provide the courses for free study, but only on the Alison website. They cannot be downloaded elsewhere. Often, these courses are commercially owned and Alison is the only way to access them freely. Then there are courses we own ourselves, and while free to use, they are not available off our site.

How do Alison courses work?

All Alison courses follow the basic structure of Course - Module - Topic - Assessment.Typically, Certificate courses have one assessment at the end of the course and Diploma courses have multiple assessments throughout.Assessments are designed to test your understanding of the content. They may include single or multiple-choice questions.
