Are free courses of worth value?

Of course they are, however before picking up any course (no mater if paid or free), make a research, check comments and be sure it will help you grow!

in most cases, you can find as much information for free as in the paid courses. It might be less structured though.

Absolutely! Anything which provides you with knowledge and helps to boost your skills is valuable. And if it's free, it's a big plus!

During the pandemic, I took loads of free courses alongside some very affordable Udemy & Coursera courses. These experiences essentially led to my career pivot! I also love that LinkedIn allows you to feature most courses on your profile as well.

I mostly take the courses for self-improvement and often just watch the video lectures and few quizzes based on that. That's something worthy, in my opinion.

Correlation isn't causation. Most paid courses are better than free courses - but that isn't necessarily due to the pricetag.

it depends if you aim is to get knowledge or to get a certificate, if its knowledge, you can try edx, there are many courses that will give you access to video for a limited time, so you can gain the knowledge, but you won't get a certificate, I still found it very helpful.

Yes, you can learn about the latest developments in your industry without disrupting your schedule or investing a lot of money.

Free online courses cover some of today’s hottest subjects, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to social media marketing and search engine optimization (SEO). If you’re unsure about using new skills professionally, a free online course is a great way to dip your toe in the water.

Absolutely, It doesn't matter whether it is free or paid course if you are learning and gaining knowledge out of it.

It depends on the value that we give to them. If we are really motivated to learn from free materials, I'm sure we'll gather a lot of knowledge. sometimes, even from premium courses, we might not learn much.
