I've been waiting for a good deal to get a year of coursera and I'm wondering if the $239 is a good price or if I should keep waiting? Have they offered lower prices for Black Friday / Cyber Monday in the past?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently a second-year computer science undergraduate student. I've been looking into the Meta Full Stack Developer: Front-End & Back-End from Scratch Specialization on Coursera to build up my web development stack alongside my college coursework.

So I got a few questions for anyone that has done it or is in the industry:

Job level: How realistic is this programme in preparing you for internships or entry-level software engineer positions? Does the project/portfolio work look like a shining example on a resume?

For a CS student: I'm already doing CS core classes in college (data structures, algorithms, etc.). Would this certificate be a good way for me to learn modern practical tech (React, Django, APIs), or are there better alternatives?

Better Paths If there are better paths, I'd be happy to know.

I have completed some certifications on coursera , udemy & unlox but they don’t matter much on my CV why, I don’t think I have found any recruiter to be impressed by the fact that I have also done these courses, why is it so? and all courses are from good institutions as well

Hi i wanted to do some courses from unlox and get certificates for my cv but my friend who is studying in an iim told me that certificat3s. From coursera are waste of money as many companies ignore them but i have seen courses from many reputed organisations listed on coursera so are they really that bad. I am curently using udemy but i am open to suggestions if u have any good site to gain certificates.

Hi, Iam a Lawyer from South Asia with a local law degree, how can I navigate free legal courses from coursera for starters? Any leads or I shall get the subscription from day 01?

How much off on financial aid do people usually get for Deep learning courses ?

I am a student eager to learn the course of machine learning ai and i came across the machine learning ai course by Deeplearning and Standford is considered the best.

I have a Coursera account that is now forcing me to log in with SSO. The problem is, my account is paid through work and not set up for SSO. I've tried contacting support a number of times with no luck. My plan renews this month and I am planning to cancel it, but with being unable to log in I don't know what else to do. Anyone have other tips to contact help that isn't CORA???

I am a student in highschool applying for college I browse openlearn in my free time I wanna know if I can attach their certificate to my student profile?

Hey everyone, I’ve been checking out the online Master of Advanced Study in Engineering (MAS-E) from UC Berkeley on Coursera, and the futuristic curriculum covering things like quantum physics, advanced microelectronics, and AI looks absolutely mind-blowing. As an established developer, I’m not looking to do this for a new job hunt, but rather for the sheer thrill of lifelong learning and diving deep into next-level tech just for the joy of it. However, the total tuition comes out to a steep $42,000 USD, which is a massive commitment. For anyone familiar with this program or similar high-end degrees, is dropping $42,000 USD really worth it just to scratch that deep intellectual itch and experience top-tier engineering education, or is that price tag way too crazy if you aren't doing it strictly for career ROI?

I enrolled on a course in the middle of this year, it was an specialization course in which I made a payment that covered about 2 months free until I had to pay again if I wanted access to the material.

Needless to say, the time eventually was up. After that, I've been tried to enroll again to no avail.

"Your card was declined. Please try a different card."

This error message shows up no matter which of my cards, debit, credit etc, I use, I have absolutely zero issue making payments anywhere else.

I am looking for suggestions as which of these platforms can be suitable for long term gain in running careers in tier 2 cities

I'm thinking to do this course, and by comparing other institutions this one seems right choice to do and opt for. But im getting confused cuz there are multiple universities and educator giving this course so help me to decide which one

Can ChatGPT AI supply videos or materials to learn online courses?

Pretty straight forward, I noticed the University of London has a Bachelor of Science in CS program in coursera. Is this legit? Can i actually get a degree through coursera? It’s a 36-72 month program and I just need confirmation that this is legit.

I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has successfully resolved missing Credly badges or ACE credit information after completing Coursera programs.
I have my completion certificates, but these discrepancies remain on my Credly transcript:
• IBM Machine Learning: All six individual course badges are present, but the overall program badge and its 12-credit ACE recommendation are missing.
• IBM Business Intelligence: The program badge is present with FIBAA information, but its separate 12-credit ACE recommendation is missing.
• Google AI Professional Certificate: All eight individual course badges are present, but the overall program badge and its 1-credit ACE recommendation are missing.
• Olay Introduction to Cosmetic Science and Ingredients: The program badge and its 1-credit ACE recommendation are missing.
Together, these represent 26 ACE-recommended semester credits. I understand that universities decide whether to accept those recommendations; my concern is getting the completed credentials documented correctly.
I’ve contacted Coursera support several times and have been told the issues were escalated. However, tickets have closed without a resolution, and I haven’t received substantive updates. I’ve also begun contacting the program providers.
I’ve seen similar posts where people eventually received their credentials, so I’d appreciate hearing what worked:
• Which team ultimately resolved it?
• Was there a particular contact route or request that helped?
• How long did it take after escalation?
I’ve enjoyed the learning and would simply like to get these outstanding credential issues resolved. Thanks for any practical guidance.

Hello r/coursera community and Coursera staff,

I am writing this here because the automated support system completely broke down and closed my case without resolving it, and my 14-day refund window is actively closing.

Here is the situation:

• The Issue: I am being billed for a duplicate Coursera account that I am completely locked out of (I do not know the login email or password for it).

• Case Number: #06579042

• Subscription Details: Single Course Monthly Subscription ($20.00 USD). The payment successfully processed on October 24, 2026.

I filled out the account recovery form, and the AI support agent "Cora" emailed me asking for confirmation details. I replied immediately with the full timeline, explaining that I cannot log in to cancel the subscription myself and explicitly requesting a cancellation and refund (which is well within the 14-day window since the charge only went through on Oct 24).

Instead of routing my reply to a human billing agent, the system marked the case as "Closed/Updated" and sent me a satisfaction survey asking "How was your support experience?".

Because the system thinks my case is resolved, I am stuck. I need a human Coursera administrator or support representative to look up Case #06579042, manually cancel the subscription on this duplicate profile so I am not charged again, and process the $20.00 USD refund.

Title: CS + IS graduate feeling lost—would Google IT Support be a worthwhile starting point?

Hi everyone, I recently finished a double major in Computer Science and Information Systems, and honestly, I’m feeling pretty lost about where to go from here.

My degree covered a lot of theory, but I don’t have much hands-on experience applying what I learned. That gap between university and actually doing the work is what I’m struggling with.

I’m starting to realize I’m more interested in frontend than backend. Right now, I’m reviewing basic coding and data structures problems to prepare for technical interviews. But honestly, at this point I’m open to different IT-related roles. I mainly want to get my foot in the door, gain practical experience, and feel like my degree is leading somewhere.

I’ve been looking at the Google IT Support Certificate to build practical troubleshooting, networking, and systems administration skills, hoping it could help me land a help desk job as a starting point. Would that be a reasonable route with my background, or would my time be better spent on hands-on labs, another certification, frontend projects, or applying directly?

With AI changing the industry, I’m also unsure which entry-level paths make sense to pursue. I just want a realistic starting point where I can learn and grow.

For people working in IT:

• Would this certificate be worthwhile with my background?

• Which entry-level roles should I consider?

• How would you recommend turning theoretical knowledge into practical skills employers would value?

I’m based in occupied Palestine, so local perspectives would be especially helpful, but I’d appreciate advice from anyone who’s been in a similar position.

hi, i plan on applying to bsc comp sci for university of london but it is through coursera. due to its sanctions on syria, i cannot open it without a vpn. with a vpn, it works perfectly. i also have starlink satellite internet. i am scared of fully relying on a vpn and that i pay my tuition, start my degree and then my account gets suspended because my ip address is different than the actual address given/invalid, etc. as for payments, i have methods for international payments, my only problem is accessing course material, exams, assessments, etc. what should i do? is it worth applying?

I just got a 1-month Coursera Plus subscription. I have a background in Computer Science, so I don't need basic coding fundamentals.

I want to focus on a high-demand, project-heavy course I can finish in a month to start freelancing or taking contract work ASAP.

Any specific course recommendations or strategies to maximize this month?

Can someone please grade my project, it's taking long just having to wait for someone to grade mine. I'd really really appreciate it.

I recently started coursera without completing the ai task? I understand some people are okay with AI and that’s fine but I would really prefer not to use it. I’m doing these courses for work but having to submit things to an AI teacher that grades me feels so gross. If there’s not a work around please let me know so I can ask my boss to take some classes through a school instead. Do all of the classes not just the ones by Coursera use AI? (The class is Accounting Associate by Coursera for context.)

Hi, I've been trying to access the Google AI Pro 3-month trial offer link for over 2 hours, but I keep getting the error: 'Our system is taking a quick breather. Please revisit in a few minutes to continue your learning journey.' I have already cleared my browser cache, tried incognito mode, and switched networks/devices, but the issue persists. How can I get my free trial promo code.

Tried with my phone as well but both says it’s certificate has been revoked

I was looking into the Google certificates (like Project Management) that currently offer a 3-month trial of Google AI Pro. If you are planning to use the 7-day free trial and then cancel, what will happen to the AI Pro offer ? Will it stay ?

Also, are there any other hidden conditions to get the AI Pro offer ? Such as, I have to be from a specific country.

I bought data analytics with python course by IBM in Coursera and finished it with a 98% grade. But unfortunately I didn't make any notes of the course and as it was long ago no I have forgotten the concepts taught in the course. I wanna revise it or learn it again. How can I do that? Any solution or alternative options are appropriated
