Availability and pricing are set by each provider. “Free to learn” means the course is free and the certificate may cost extra.
An independent directory. Cocoon is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the providers listed here unless we say so. Course names, brands and logos belong to their owners and are shown only to identify their courses. Every “View course” link takes you to the provider’s own page, where enrolment, pricing, certificates and support are handled by them, not by Cocoon. Details were checked on 26 September 2026 and can change; please confirm on the provider’s site before you pay. A listing is not a recommendation; where the learning guide recommends something, that is general guidance, not professional advice.
Lists, comparisons and how-tos, built from this directory.
Almost every major tech company runs a free academy for its own products. Microsoft Learn, Google Skills, AWS Skill Builder, Salesforce Trailhead, HubSpot Academy and Odoo’s eLearning are free to study; you usually pay only if you want the proctored exam. The AI labs have joined in: Anthropic Academy and OpenAI Academy are free, and Hugging Face, Kaggle and Microsoft give away courses that used to cost hundreds. This page sorts them into three shelves so you can pick one and finish it.
Prices, free offers and certificate fees change. Everything here was checked against each provider’s own site on 26 September 2026; if something has moved, tell us at ammar@mycocoon.life. Cocoon has no affiliate deal with any provider listed, and nobody paid to be here. Prefer hands-on labs? Cocoon’s free AI course is sixteen of them, no fee.
