Frequently asked questions
Are all edX courses on this page directly from edX?
Yes — every course links back to the original edX page. We compare and review edX's courses; we don't host or resell the content.
How do you decide which edX courses to include?
We add edXcourses that track current industry skills reports — not an even spread across every topic. A course only makes the list if it's relevant and genuinely useful, not just because it exists.
Does edX offer free courses?
Use the Price filter above to see which edX courses on this page are free to audit versus paid. Free audit typically gives full video content; paid tiers add graded work and the certificate.
How does edX compare to other providers?
The comparison table above ranks edX's top courses here against the same criteria — price, certificate, duration, and level — that we apply to every other provider, so you can judge fit rather than brand alone.
