Foire Aux Questions
Quand aurai-je accès aux vidéos de cours et aux devoirs ?
L’accès à des vidéos de cours et des devoirs dépend de votre type d’inscription. Si vous suivez un cours en mode auditeur libre, vous pourrez voir la plupart des contenus de cours gratuitement. Pour accéder aux devoirs notés et obtenir un certificat, vous devrez acheter une expérience de certificat, pendant ou après avoir assister au cours en tant qu’auditeur libre. Si vous ne visualisez pas l’option auditeur libre :
Il est possible que le cours ne propose pas d’option auditeur libre. Vous pouvez en revanche accéder à un essai gratuit ou faire une demande d'aide financière.
Le cours propose peut-être « Cours complet, aucun certificat » à la place. Cette option vous permet de voir tous les contenus de cours, de soumettre les évaluations requises et d'obtenir une note finale. Cependant, vous ne pourrez pas acheter une expérience de certificat.
À quoi ai-je droit si j'achète le Certificat ?
Lorsque vous achetez un Certificat, vous bénéficiez d'un accès à tout le contenu du cours, y compris les devoirs notés. Lorsque vous avez terminé et réussi le cours, votre Certificat électronique est ajouté à votre page Accomplissements. À partir de cette page, vous pouvez imprimer votre Certificat ou l'ajouter à votre profil LinkedIn. Si vous souhaitez seulement lire et visualiser le contenu du cours, vous pouvez accéder gratuitement au cours en tant qu'auditeur libre.
Une aide financière est-elle possible ?
Oui. Dans certains programmes d’apprentissage, vous pouvez demander une aide financière ou une bourse d’études si vous ne pouvez pas payer les frais d’inscription. Si une aide financière ou une bourse d’études est disponible pour le programme d’apprentissage choisi, vous trouverez un lien pour faire une demande sur la page de description.
