The best place to learn programing for free and be certified

When I started my IT education, I don't have money to go to IT school. At that time I completed high school and was in the house doing nothing.

An idea came to me to look for free IT programs online and I embarked on the search. I came across several of free online coarse, some certificate and others diploma.

I started some and it was complex to me but I came across one site named www.alison.com and it has what I was looking for. This website has series of online free certificate and diploma programs.

It is absolutely free to join. I joined this site and finished 3 diploma courses within 3 weeks and I got perfect basic knowledge in these programs.

I continued to do more courses and finished over 8 certificates and 6 diploma courses before going to collage.

Alison.com has courses other than just IT programs and you can do as many as you can.

The interesting thing is the certificates that I paid for later and was sent to me.

If you want to learn web design, affiliate marketing, programing and any other thing, check on this site.
