Knowledge, Learning, Community

The short answer is "no" but it's worth reading this item to see how Pat Bowden gets to drawing that conclusion. Because after all, even at $279.99 per year, FutureLearn Unlimited seems to offer good value, providing as it does access with certificates to hundreds of online courses. And if you don't have Unlimited, your access to the course disappears after its done. But you're not actually going to take hundreds of courses from FutureLearn. There are many online course providers. Bowden has taken 130 courses online from numerous providers and comments, "It would be an expensive hobby to pay for all those certificates." I'll say! The current pricing strategy is designed to push you into one or two providers as you try to justify the cost of your subscription.
