Free non-credit certificates

[rachel83az]

If you like to collect certificates, I just found https://nextgenu.org/ 

They claim that they provide course material to many universities and that multiple universities will accept NextGenU courses for credit, but I can find no evidence of this. 

The closest I can find is their Master's of Public Health: https://phu.nextgenu.org/

If you're in one of the top richest countries according to World Bank numbers, you pay $3000 for the MPH: https://phu.nextgenu.org/program-fees/ and then you get a degree from Euclid University.

Unfortunately Euclid University seems to be of dubious value (at least for Americans). https://www.euclid.int/legal.asp and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUCLID_(un...ted_States

I can't find any other college or university that admits to taking NextGenU courses for credit in the same way that some schools accept some edX courses for credit, though it is possible that I wasn't using the correct search terms. They might at least be worth PLA credit at somewhere like TESU.

For most students, I would say that these courses are good for personal development to see if you want to continue to an actual degree program in the health field. Otherwise, they're mostly for fun.
