Has anyone here taken any classes with ALISON?
Free Online Courses, Workplace Skills Training, Interactive Education and Multimedia Learning | ALISON
It looks like a great free website to take classes for many different subjects. You can even take a diploma program, although I am not sure if the classes for a diploma program would transfer to a degree.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has used it before? If so, do you know if the classes are ACE reviewed? I know that's important with the Big Three.
I would love to go ahead & get started, but didn't want to spend time on it if I am not able to utilize the classes.
Thanks again!

I haven't taken any of these yet, but the state I live in offers the ALISON programs through their internet unemployment website. I've heard some really mixed reviews on the site. Unless its something you can't learn any other way, I'd probably go through a program that is either ACE or NCCRS recommended & taught by Saylor, Coursera, FEMA, SkillSoft, etc, since they would be easier to get credits for.

Don't see any results for a search for ALISON on ACE's site. Is there another name the company goes by?

Bummer, but thanks

I was not able to find another name. SweetSecret advised to go elsewhere.
It just may be for personal use, like if you want to learn for personal enrichment.
