Get ready to apply

Built only from what this listing states.

The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. What to get ready

An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.

In their words: “A free FUN MOOC account, made with an email address.”

2. Dates

Closes 15 January 2027, in 85 days.
Aim to send it by 12 January 2027. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. Our advice

Download checklist (.txt) Send to WhatsApp

The download is a small text file. You can read it later without data. It also lists each condition they set, so you can tick yourself against them. WhatsApp sends the same list to you, or to somebody helping you.

Tips for applying for a free course

General advice from us, the same for every course. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.

Check how many hours a week it needs, and whether you have that time for the whole length of it.
Check how much data it uses. Videos use a lot; ask whether there is a download or text version, or use free Wi-Fi where you can.
Finish it. A finished course with a certificate is worth more on a CV than three started ones.
When you finish, add it to your CV with the name, who gave it, and the month you finished.

If there is an interview or a test

If there is a test to get in, ask what it covers and practise with any free sample they give.

All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.
