SEActual trash. Actual trash. They claim their concept is free education, with an added option to pay in case you want a diploma, but some of the courses straight up only offer you a THIRD of the course before asking you to pay to see the rest. Its a disgusting bait and switch one wouldn't expect from an enterprise touting about its ties to actual universities. Avoid at all costs. Also, the customer service is - as many have said - garbage.

DEThanks again Thanks again, was a pleasure ! The only thing that was really annoying was the material and there exercises in the machine learning that were broken all the times so you needed to keep guessing and hoping that it will work out in the end. So Please dear course providers in the future stay tuned to your published material and keeping up to date and get us hanging in there ... Thanks a lot !

GBEDX can be used in different ways EDX can be used in different ways. I personally have used EDX since its inception. I am a huge fan of e-learning and wrote to the UK government 40 years ago when the internet started with the massive opportunity it presented to improve UK education - deaf ears of course (read Rory Stewart's book on how government does not work). But EDX and FutureLearn have provided significant resources for everyone in the world online and if you 'audit' the course (as I do) then they are completely free. Yes some vary in quality, but some of the courses I have reviewed are simply the best courses I have ever taken in my life - and I have a UK Hons Degree done way back when. So, I suggest people stop & think before paying - Audit the course FIRST - then, if it is good quality and is what you expect, only then pay if you really need a certificate.

GBBad customer service I have used the chat to ask questions about the course and the person (should've take the name -_-) on top of taking ages to reply, kept on telling me to "google it" , she/he clearly didn't know anything about the course (Front-End web dev). Now seeing all the bad reviews of this platform I will not proceed to the course.

GBHonestly edX is my favourite site to do… Honestly edX is my favourite site to do these courses. The fee you pay for the certificates if you go that route are indefinite, so you can do the course as you please. Other sites you would have to pay monthly and depending if you don't complete within the month you'll only pay more. So, price wise really good. The courses I've taken are really well done. Quality instruction and depending on the course good forum interaction too. I've also done free courses and are exactly like the payed ones difference being the certificate. So, if you don't want to pay you still get quality instruction.
