Pretty self-explanatory title.
Is there any way to get coursera certs for free? I'm aware that if you complete the cert before the 7-day free trail then yes it is, but it there any other way to do this?
Can you do multiple free trials?
(Wanting certs relevant to Business/CS/Data Science)
Thanks in advance..

Not free but at a discount by following these steps on the Coursera Plus membership, report back and update us if there are some changes to the info:
https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera
"If you are a resident of India, or have a VPN set to an Indian location, it is possible to acquire any of the Google Professional Certificates at a significantly discounted rate. You would forfeit the free trial period. The rates (not including taxes) are 1086 INR (~$14 USD) for 1 month, 2173 INR (~$28 USD) for 3 months and 3259 INR (~$42 USD) for 6 months. Simply add the certificate to your cart while connected to an Indian VPN location, and disconnect at the checkout page to avoid triggering fraud warnings with your credit card. The same can be done for other global south countries (e.g. the Philippines, South Africa) for $14 USD."

You can audit most courses for free, learn the material, then go back and do the free trial. You may be able to stack some free trials for courses with similar content. For example, some of the IBM data science certs built toward each other, but I was able to do two free trials on different specializations with slightly different courses.
