Learning Resource Badges

Most of the non-credit vendor provided courses listed are offered as FREE and include a result of free badges / trophies / certificates / credentials in some cases. Be sure to search or look for "no cost" and "free" in the listing. We recommend never paying with a credit card unless you are wanting to cover the cost for a certification exam. As a general rule, most badges are free but formal exam certifications might cost to take the test following the course. o Many of the vendor provided courses here are part of a longer learning path that, when completed, may prepare you for a certification. After passing any badge or certification level, you are awarded a digital credential emblem or symbol to use on your resume, LinkedIn account or professional document.
