What do I get when I buy an online course?
This differs per platform where you buy the course and even on a single platform their can be some variety in what you get. It is therefore important to double-check the characteristics of each. Courseroot tries to help you in this respect by presenting the most important characteristics in the search results. However, it is your responsibility to evaluate the course properly on the platform you intend to take it from.
Do I get a certificate when I complete an online course?
Not necessarily. This differs per platform and whether you are willing to pay or not. Udacity for example does not provide certificates for their free courses, though their nanodegree programs give one of the most prestiges online degrees currently available. EdX and Coursera both provide certificates of completion as well but only if you pay for them. It is important to check the availability and quality of a certificate on the original platform page that we link to.
