I recognize Coursera has a cornucopia of useful courses, but their customer service is terrible. I recently signed up for a free 30 day Coursera+ trial and enrolled in an IBM certificate. After completing four of seven courses, they locked my access to course 5 and 7. Numerous emails to customer service haven't gotten the courses unlocked. They keep pushing back the dates that courses 5 and 7 will be available. I think this is a trick to force you to renew.
It is getting much harder to find links for the free 30 day trial.

Most of the trials were only 7 days, it's great you scored a 30 day trial...

This trial was restricted to IBM courses but that's okay because they have a lot of great IBM courses. What's not okay is working so hard to finish the certificate quickly but having Coursera block courses 5 & 7 for almost another month.
This IBM trial is ongoing until the end of the year. I was emailed about it by Coursera.
I appreciate you posting these certificates.
