Quote: Three or more IT Masters Free Short Courseshttps://itmasters.edu.au/apply/applying-for-credit/
IT Masters offer an on-going series of free short courses that each cover part of one of the subjects from the Charles Sturt University qualifications featured on the IT Masters website. Subject to the conditions below, students who successfully complete three or more of the short courses will be eligible for one industry elective subject of credit towards one of the Charles Sturt University postgraduate qualifications featured on this website.
Credit for IT Masters short courses is only available for IT Masters elective subjects. Master degree students who have completed all electives may not be able to claim credit.
Credit for the IT Master free short courses is only available for the Charles Sturt University postgraduate qualifications listed on the IT Masters Website.
Only one subject credit can be claimed for IT Masters short courses (to see whether you qualify for other credit, fill out our Eligibility Form).
This credit arrangement does not apply to the Doctorate of Information Technology course. The maximum level of credit available is no more than 50% of any course.
Credit for can be claimed before or after you enrol, and current students can claim credit at any time up until graduation.
So to me it looks like you only get credit if you're enrolled(or enrolling) in one of their IT grad programs.
I was able to sign up for a class with just a name and email, though so if one wants to take it for just certificate of completion, should be painless to sign up. I saw that some of the courses actually include a bunch of hands on labs which is pretty cool.(the pentesting class has an integrated CTF).
