Alisson Education offers a structured approach to learning with a focus on quality and accessibility. Their courses cover a variety of topics and are designed to be comprehensive and user-friendly. The platform is beneficial for those looking to upskill or explore new subjects at their own pace. However, some users may find that course depth varies, and advanced learners might need more detailed material. Overall, it’s a valuable resource for accessible learning.

The app is good but the customer support system is too bad . I completed my course and after paying my fees for claiming the certificate, I paid the money but haven't received any certificate till now . It's too bad for a student like me who pays such a huge amount for a course and didn't even receive the certificate. After asking again and again the customer support system they are still not responding to my issue .

I’m editing this since I can’t reply. I did say the learning is free, but the certificate prices are high, and the app has too many ads, making it hard to study. Also, I want to correct you, Alison is not the only platform offering free courses. Others like Google Digital Garage and HP Life do too. This is not hate, just honest feedback to help others know what to expect.

Hi Siziphiwe! We're the only platform offering ALL courses for free. We charge for Certificates to help us create more free courses. If you can't purchase a Certificate, share your Alison Profile, which updates with your completed courses, at no cost. High-quality learning on our platform is always free. No other app offers this.
