If before it was a distant dream to be able to study in a ivy league university, now it's more and more real. What's more, the opportunity knocks on the door with the offer of approximately 500 free online courses from Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, among other institutions. Available at Classcentral platform, 400 of them offer certification.
In summary, Classcentral's role is to encompass, in a single page, the training offered by different institutions on the most varied platforms, online and free of charge. Some of these are Canvas Network, Coursera, edX and Kadenze.
The complete list of courses is available at platform website. On the page, it is possible to filter the area of interest in the menu and select courses by alphabetical order, user evaluation and dates. The trainings are taught in English and, in some cases, have the subtitles in Portuguese.
How to enroll in courses?
Because the courses are offered by different platforms, the access attributed to training is different. Therefore, it is necessary to register on the platform, or even login through a Google or Facebook account, and then enroll in the desired course.

Most of the formations are self-paced, that is, they are individualized and can be done at any time, in the time defined by the student. However, some have limited start dates and, if the student misses the enrollment period, they may not be able to access the content.
When selecting the desired course, the student has a simple description containing the syllabus and total workload. But, in the example of courses self-paced, an estimated number of hours per week for dedication to the course is calculated, in addition to the number of weeks or months in which the course will be completed, if there is discipline in the performance.
Another interesting piece of information is that, although online and free, courses have some prerequisites, for example, prior knowledge in the area.
