Courses offer one of the most cost-efficient ways to pursue a degree or certificate program outside of enrolling in a college or university class. While the website doesn't offer courses specifically in child care, it does offer courses commonly found in related degree programs for teachers or child care providers.Unlike most free online courses, which usually don't award academic credit to students who complete them, the course can be used to earn an alternative form of real college credit. Learning materials include free lesson transcripts as well as short video lessons and self-assessment quizzes available to registered members who pay a nominal fee.
