Is The Course 100% Free? The Truth About The Certificate
This is one of the most common questions. Yes, access to all classes and study materials is completely free. You can watch all course content without paying anything at all.
The only paid part is optional: the issuance of the verified completion certificate by Harvard University. If you want to have the official document to add to your resume, you will need to pay a fee. However, the lack of the certificate does not prevent learning.
