I have no idea if this is open internationally, but it looks interesting and might be worth a try.

Interesting... but does this diploma hold any credit ???

Huh

Not sure if this is just a certificate.

This looks really interesting. By the way, I have been really curious: how do you find all these potentially free courses, Erie? I would love to explore some myself.

It doesn't look like you get any credit. But I am not familiar with how college/university works in Ireland.

ylmir!

I put in certain search strings into twitter search, eventbrite and other search engines.  The free classes today came from "free college course."  I also search for "free university course," "college credit" and a couple of other ones.  Some of the search strings are not productive and I stop using them to search.  But some of them continually turn up little gems.

I could take it up a notch.  I used to create Google alerts for grants and dump them into an RSS feed reader.

That's really interesting. I've been looking into what it would take to make some rudimentary twitter/reddit bots, so maybe I should consider also programming my own "find free stuff" bots haha.

"Thanks for your interest unfortunately this programme is only for those that live within Borough in Northern Ireland.

Thanks again"

I sent a message to the coordinator and this was the response. So, no dice.
