Alison: Online Education App Reviews

I love having access to all of these courses. My review is for Alison though. There seems to be no way to go back into search results without having to start your search all over again. And maybe it’s just Alison but I also cannot figure out how to “favorite” courses for the future. A bit frustrating for the user (me) but overall Alison is a nice start. Thank you devs!

I’m super into self learning and studying at a reasonable pace at all times. Work break, lunch break, waiting for appointments and so on. Feels like I’m utilizing my time more effectively to further my goals and pursue a higher education without going to expensive trade schools or colleges. Very easy to navigate.

Now sadly my only draw back with such a convenient app and way to learn are minor bugs. Sometimes it'll not bookmark where I am at in the lesson when I get back to it and I have to remember or scroll to my section.

Overall I love Alison. Plus I am not a bot. Just a normal soon to be father learning and trying to further my credentials for the future

Alison is actually free to learn from. After getting scammed by others; I found this one. The only time you pay is for a copy of the certificate or diploma. They do charge in Euros so keep that in mind when you pay. Also, you can access your account on your phone or computer. A few courses are not available on mobile version though. Still; I’m enjoying Alison.

I’m new to this website! But so far it’s pretty good! You have to pass tho to get the certificate! I failed 3 times! But I kept challenging myself and pass! Now looking forward for my certification in the mail! Thinking about taking up another course with them And tell my family/ friends! Congratulations to me! Work 💪🏽🙏🏾😊

So far, this app seems too good to be true. I really like the courses available and the depth explained under the courses and careers.

I agree with another review here, it would be super helpful if we were able to “save” a career we’re working towards and take courses based off of the skills and experience necessary to reach our goal, as opposed to simply “rating” the career.

I’m wondering if the premium membership is worth it…. I’m starting a course today and will update my rating as I learn more about this app.

This program is very good for personal interest type learning, rather than formal education. Explore new topics, or check your memory about topics you’ve learned previously. This is a much more educational alternative to many of the common activities on your phone or computer. In certain localities, completion of this coursework can be used to fulfill educational or work requirements for participation in government programs.

I love Alison and all of the courses it offers but if the devs read this please add a back button while searching and please save recent searches in the search bar. I strongly believe these two features would greatly improved the quality of life of Alison .

I have had this picturesque perfect image of what the rebranding of education would look like, and in my finest of visions, this app is an exact replica of how it went. The only suggestion, sections dedicated to specific careers: maybe a career quiz, road map, themed courses which are easy to throw together and bundle up brilliantly for resume and website.

Alison is really great and wonderful. I will suggest that Alison should be able to do auto save of lesson the user is taking to avoid skipping as as result of going back to the beginning or the stages left behind again.
Aside that, the platform is really wonderful.

I love that the classes are free and do not hold you to time frames; other than what you set yourself. I love that they are readily available at anytime, with no pressure on finishing. I work full time in the school system so Alison and all they have to offer gives me an opportunity to keep up on classroom/student study.

I enjoy learning new study materials. The lesson plans are very informative and knowledgeable about each course that I have taken. It is definitely a plus if your trying out something new, or just wanted to advance your skills set. You cannot go wrong.

Wow! I finally did what I always wanted to do. I’ve been working on cars since 2021 and finally I after that, I was ready to at least get my basic mechanic certification. And thanks to this app for the free course and only paying for the certificate. You guys are awesome! God Bless you all for that beautiful opportunity.😇🙏

I am impressed by the simplicity this guy offered in explaining how finance, risk & reward and capital works in society. I was taught some don’ts and I walked away with some dos. I can’t believe I started and finished this cert from start to finish in less than 3 hours. I recommend this course to everyone.

This application is great for learning on the go. Easy to manage, accessible courses for quick learning, and easy to use interactions. I recommend this for any, and everyone looking for more information on an array of subjects to get started with before attending college. Thank you!

Diverse & thorough courses made (mostly) to easily to complete & earn a certificate in as little as 1.5-3hrs!! I earned 4 certificates in one day with a little focus and determination! Now I am able to stack my certification section on my resume catered specifically for the jobs I want!

Alison is jam packed full of things my son and I find interesting. Thank you for the time and effort to put this information in an easy to access and read format.

For those that are auditory learners, this may not be the best option for you, but j have just begun the Solar Power course.

These courses are perfect for those who want to take a college-level class or a self improvement workshop. Easy to use. I like to minimize my screen and listen when I’m multitasking.

Great way to intellectually stimulate yourself, impress your boss, and have fun.

Plus, you’ll be a trivia all-star!

Overall a good app. Seems to remember your place between sessions. Better than the PC version as the PC version makes you wait 6 seconds while ads display so the smart phone version avoids that.

Would be nice if there was an audio version of the training I could listen to in the car or while riding a bike.

I love that I can learn so many new classes so I can upgrade my skills. It’s been so long since I’ve been to college and this was such a lucky to find for someone that cannot afford to go to college! Thank you from a single parent!

I was trying to buy my diploma before I finished my course thinking that I was paying for the course. I passed my tested and received to buy my diploma but it already took money off my card due to the pending transaction before I finished it. It’s saying to buy it but it took the money off my card already. Help please

For free, i cant complain! easy to follow modules and testing to get your certification, which does come at a cost!!! depending on how you want it, youre looking at a little over $25 to a little under $100 to get it. that is PER course certification. I dont know how credible these are yet, but its nice to have to show you did something at least. only thing i didnt like was how particular you have to make your answers or they mark it wrong. so be warned! i used "anti-freeze" instead of "antifreeze" and got marked wrong for it. that and i wish the coverage of courses covered more per topic so the price of getting these certs wasnt going to break me after completing all i intend to. bright side is it makes for a short course and test to have to do so if you only need it for some specific parts in a career, then its perfect without having to do everything else you dont need with it, as well.

I have finished several courses that have helped lead to a promotion at work. Additionally, the model of completing the course for free and purchasing the certificate upon completion has kept me motivated and in track to actually FINISH my courses. When I paid for Coursera monthly, I didn’t finish a SINGLE course. this app gives me real motivation. Additionally the courses I’ve taken leave me with tangible things I can apply immediately to my life and career. I LOVE Alison and I’m so grateful to have found it!!

So far the course I am taking ( management/ supervisory skills) is easy to read and offers practical resources within today's working environment . However due to the low economy it would be beneficial to allow a lower cost for certificates/ diplomas. Most people who are even considering taking online courses for the most part is because of the declining financial economy.

Easy to use, I’ve already got a diploma and a certification through this app, I’m currently working on another class and plan to do more following! Not bad in pricing either! I’m so glad the courses themselves are free I would never be able to afford to do schooling or classes otherwise, super grateful!

Straight forward user interface. Topic descriptions accurate. Course assessments are a combination of, both, multiple choice and fill in the blanks. I like how it allows you to search back through course section to reread before submitting final answers. Just don’t click review button if it’s not the final grade you’d like on your course exam before proceeding. Overall, I would recommend this program to others who are looking to acquire new knowledge or refresh on a topic.

This training module and app overall has been easy to use and navigate. I would recommend it to any person looking to bulk up their knowledge and certifications and a specific job field because that’s what business owners are looking for more so than a college degree per se, at least in a career field, like construction and manual labor.

This is a good app, and the classes are good and interesting. The classes themselves are accessible. But, the quizzes are not. Dragging and dropping answers into a box, makes this inaccessible. That is not helpful to the blind. Instead of dragging and dropping. Perhaps you can add checkboxes instead. That would be a lot better. I’m taking Aromatherapy for beginners, or something like that. I can’t remember the exact name of the course.

This is a awesome app. I love it. It’s helping me get into my career trade. Very useful for when you are trying to get hired into a new trade. Not expensive for the certification at the end! And you can study at your own pace! I love it and thank you to the people who made this happen! 10 out of 10 for sure!!!

I wanted to get into something new within my career itself. And honestly I can say that I found out about this app. And I noticed that I have certifications in the beauty industry as is and those certifications help me get the jobs I need to help take care of me and my daughter. I am a proud graduate of this app and I would highly recommend anyone who is looking or seeking information or just to boost up their careers or business this will be actually good for anyone who is looking to do so. I know that this app may certifications may not be universal but aye listen it will help us get some where in life !!! Thank you this app !!!

This has been one of the best apps I ever ever use, I appreciate this insight on my life journey as well as the benefits for me and my family and community, we was having many issues with our 3 kids with ADHD and God allow us to come across this amazing app that saved our life and changed our family lives forever. Thank you so much for your support and help💕💕💕💕💕

I have been in the process of trying to get a hold of someone for the last three days and every day it keeps telling me someone from Allison will be available tomorrow. There’s no one available today. I was in the middle of finishing my assessment to receive my certificate and was on question 19 of 25 and have gotten every question right up to that point and all my preassessment test received 100% on. Every time I would get to question 19 it would freeze not letting me proceed and submit for that answer. I would close out of it and go back in would not finish. I’d have to take the assessment all over again. I did five or six times and still the same. I’ve reached out for multiple days now and not getting any results from anyone besides an automated response of, someone will be available tomorrow. This is ridiculous and a horrible experience. I’ve had uninstalled and will be looking for a different route to take for my certificates and certifications from now on.
