I have been taking online courses for more than 3 years now. I have come across yet another enlightening site that offers numerous courses and one can easily find a course of their interest.<\/p>\n

Free online courses offered by futureLearn<\/a> are a wonderful initiative. FutureLearn<\/a> was launched in 2012. It is based in the UK. Today it offers a great variety of courses from renowned universities. You can access them on your desktop, mobile, tablet, etc.<\/p>\n

Almost all courses are free of cost. You have to pay a fee only when you want to purchase the certificate. Again t<\/span>he fee is not too high.<\/p>\n

Partners<\/h3>\n

It is a private company jointly owned by The Open University and The SEEK Group. The Open University has been in distant learning and online education for 50 years.<\/p>\n

Some of the top UK and international institutes, British Council, British Libraries, British Museum, and the National Film and Television School are partners with FutureLearn. Hence, it is quite an authentic and reliable platform for online education.<\/p>\n

They also work with professional bodies like the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)\u00a0 and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).<\/p>\n

FutureLearn is supported by businesses like the BBC and Marks & Spencer and the UK Government.<\/p>\n

Purpose<\/h3>\n

Their purpose is to offer high quality, tailor-made courses. They are always looking for ways to improve their offerings via customer feedback.<\/p>\n

Unique Features<\/h3>\n

Their masters and postgraduate certificates can be a plus to your CV in the current situation as most of you are at home and acquiring an accredited degree\/course can help you land a job\/enhance your current position. It has a free 2 weeks trial course so that you have time to decide if you want to enroll in it.<\/p>\n

According to Professor Beverley Oliver, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Education,
\n\u201cFutureLearn is an innovative global platform at the forefront of online course delivery. These courses offer a highly interactive social learning experience delivered to you in easily manageable steps.\u201d<\/em>

The best thing about FutureLearn is a flexible learning and engaging its students in discussions with each other in a global manner. This gives students the opportunity to communicate with people from the same field but from a diverse background thus adding value to their experience.<\/p>\n
