What it does
Get Certified for Free publishes ten free courses (Using AI, Real Estate Basics, Running a Nonprofit, Personal Finance, Starting a Small Business, Digital Marketing, Staying Safe Online, Spreadsheets, Workplace Communication, Project Management). Each has five levels (Intro, Foundations, Intermediate, Advanced, Capstone) with study notes and a six-question multiple-choice quiz. Passing (5 of 6) opens a short form for your name and email, then the browser downloads a named PDF and a course certificate is emailed. Passing all five levels in one browser unlocks a track certificate the same way. Certificates are issued in the site's name and are not accredited or licensed credentials.
Services and features
- 10 course tracks at /courses/
- 300 original quiz questions with explanations, graded in the browser.
- PDF certificates of completion: the browser draws a named PDF, and the course certificate is emailed after you enter your name and email. There is no account and no public verification service.
- A free certifications guide at /free-certifications/ that explains certificates versus certifications versus licenses.
- Machine-readable files at /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, /llms-context.txt, /agents.txt, /ai.txt, /llm-info/, and /identity/.
Methodology
Lessons summarize widely accepted basics and cite the issuing agency for rules (IRS, FTC, FDIC, NCUA, CFPB-style disclosures). Figures such as FDIC coverage ($250,000) and Form 990 thresholds were checked on November 12, 2026. Content is general education, not legal, tax, financial, or professional advice.
