The American Dream Academy (TADA) coming to an end in April 2024

[Vle045]

Just recieved this email…

After two years providing skills training to Americans from across the country, The American Dream Academy (TADA) program will be ending on April 30, 2024.


What this means:
You can continue working towards completion of your TADA coursework until April 30, 2024, and all learners who complete TADA’s requirements by then will receive the TADA badge. 
Support for learners, such as Study Hall, will continue through April 30, 2024.
You will receive information about alternative programs offered by Coursera and other partners that are free or discounted for learners who wish to continue their learning after April 30, 2024.

New learners may register until October 16, 2023.

To learn more, view the Current Learners FAQs on the TADA website. There will be an Information Session in September. Details to come.
We thank you for being part of TADA and wish you success as you advance toward your dreams. 
With admiration and respect,
The American Dream Academy Team

From the TADA website:
Coursera and our partners are extending free and discounted access options so that TADA learners can continue their coursework beyond April 30, 2024. We will share more details on these options during a September information session and in followup emails.

Hmm.

Basically, I would recommend completing anything you can that grants ACE college credit. Once done, if anything interests you such as a non credit cert, go for that afterwards. Use your time wisely on this and complete the ones that interest you most...

Just got an email stating that the American Dream Academy program in conjunction with Coursera is being terminated effective April 30, 2024. New learners may still register for a program until October 16, 2023. If you haven't completed a certificate program by the 4/30/24 end date, Coursera will be offering "free and discounted" access to programs, with additional info coming in September.

It will be sad to see this one go, as it's a great program.

I hope something similar will come along after. It is a shame that we people trying to get their college courses done get more things taken away then given.

On the bright side, even if paid for, the certificates can work out to be significantly cheaper than SDC for the same number of credits. TADA has been a great resource for us to find out how different schools accept the credits, so people in the future won't have to pay for certificates that won't be useful to them.

Considering that each cert is worth 3 or 4 courses for many of these colleges, $59 a month would still be a good deal.

I would bet that the discounted rate will be $39 or less.

The rate for the Google certificates is already $39/mo. Hopefully, they'll be cheaper still.
