Before you enroll

Allow time to create and review project documents, beyond the lesson videos. A course completion certificate is separate from a professional certification exam. Adapt the methods to your project’s size, delivery approach and constraints rather than copying every template unchanged.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice
