IBM's SkillsBuild platform offers free foundational-level courses on cybersecurity, data analysis, and project management, amongst others. Some of the courses also give a Credly badge upon completion, if you're into that.

Very different. This is very surface-level.

Yeah, these seem very basic or early "intro" courses to the subject just to see if the student would like to further study the topic. It's a good idea to take these if you're a total newbie... Otherwise, if it doesn't have ACE credit, having this extra badge might not do anything for people who already have higher level badges already.

The courses don't have ACE credit. The only IBM courses with ACE credit are the Coursera ones.
Credly badges ≠ ACE credit.
