Alison provides a 'taste' of the course material so you can decide whether it is worth your time and money. Don't make the mistake of believing this app replaces paid tuition. There's a vast amount of courses to choose from, you can search by categories, or keywords. Courses selection is taken from a variety of degree options, including (but not limited to) certification and diploma. Highly recommend for prospective students who aren't sure about their career choice(s).

UI is simplified yet there is no tutorial (trial and error). Charts are very difficult to read on mobile - many charts read like you're learning how many syllables a word contains. It's very jarring! There are also quite a few grammatical errors. There are a broad swath of jobs skills to choose from however they appear random and overly basic with no structure. Adding a goals tab would benefit. Slides, thus far, are technical and offer little in the way of example, especially the "how."

Great classes. Most are very short and to the point. They are free unless you want/need a diploma or completion certificate. Most of the completion classes are about 1.5 hours and diploma classes start at about 10 hours. Good information if you just want to increase your knowledge of certain areas. I have taken about 20 different classes just to learn a little about everything. Also if your test questions do not load correctly, this app was designed for desktop/laptop applications not mobile.
