![[2025] Massive List of Thousands of Free Certificates and Badges](https://usatimes247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/free-certificates-banner-ZWL0aX.png)
In this article, read by over 10 million people, Class Central has compiled the single largest collection of free certificate courses available online.
Certificates can motivate learners to complete online courses. When the modern online course movement began, platforms such as Coursera and edX offered free certificates. But by 2015, these had largely been replaced by paid ones.
Fortunately, a few universities including Harvard and Stanford still offer some free certificates. And so do some platforms like FutureLearn and LinkedIn Learning. Finally, Google, Microsoft, and other companies also started offering free certificates to promote their products.
Free certificates can be hard to find. So we compiled them all here, testing each platform, and earning a few certificates ourselves along the way. We’ve spent many hours on this article, and we’ll continue to update it.
If you know of a free certificate not listed here, please share it in the comments.
While Coursera and edX are not currently offering free certificates, you can learn from almost all of their courses for free.
Please note, Class Central is not involved in running the courses or issuing certificates. This is a dynamic field and you may discover that a course you choose is no longer available, or doesn’t have a free certificate any more. We recommend you always check before starting a course.
