About our Courses:

Learners on Coursera can purchase Course Certificates (ranging from $29 to $125), which provide identity verification and official recognition from our partners once a learner completes a course. 

In addition to hundreds of Course Certificates, Coursera offers Specializations (ranging from $39 to $99) -- targeted sequences of courses in high-demand subject areas including data science, business foundations, digital marketing, and software engineering. Each Specialization concludes with a final project often developed in collaboration with a corporate partner such as Google, Instagram, or Snapdeal. Specializations are attractive to a growing number of professionals who seek timely, relevant education throughout their lives and careers.

Under our Specialization portfolio, we have career-focused Specializations called Professional Certificates (starting at $39). These products receive the same treatment and commissioning as Specializations. Whether you're looking to start a new career or change your current one, Professional Certificates on Coursera help you become job-ready.
