I really enjoyed the learning process which helps me gained a lot of skills and I'm very satisfied with the certificate.
Customer Experience is quite positive and programmes are commendable.I believe that this kind of service is very important in empowering people who otherwise,would not get such good career skills for free in the market. Please continue and improve even more, where necessary.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, john b.! We are really glad you are enjoying Alison. We hope you continue learning and empowering yourself! Good luck from the Alison team.
I have been studying on Alison for the last 3 years and it has been an exciting journey. All the courses I took over these year made a difference on my CV and helped me to go further in my career. I have also enjoyed all the extra free tools that Alison has been incorporating over the years, such as the resume builder and the wellbeing assessment. Thank you Alison for doing what you are doing. I am so grateful to be part of this.
Tip for consumers:
I would recommend the site to any professional looking to be up to date on their career fields, not only for the courses, but also for all the tools and practical advice they share even in social media.

Whoever initiated this service did great. I have had two diplomas so far. I can program expertly after taking the short courses covered by this site. It is a great initiative to build career skills.
Hi Cindy! It is great to know you are a happy learner :) Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Alison. Keep learning!
Alison worst website.
It's been 4months already I haven't received my certificate. They said there were doing courier but when I ask the tracking id they are saying we don't have tracking id unfortunately in future if they have they will provide. It's really bs.
They ask me to purchase the certificate and it takes only 4 to 6 weeks now It's more that I am losing my patience.Nobody takes 4months to send package in any place. I never recommend this app and website really bs.
Hi Vyshnavi, we are so sorry you have had a bad experience with us. Please provide your Alison ID so that we can rectify this or alternatively, you can contact our customer service team directly at support@alison.com. Thank you and apologies for all the distress caused.
Your voucher won't be applied automatically nor easily. Also, if you want a printed certificate, you must pay for digital all over again. They swapped my selection, and NEVER issue refunds. Beware.
Tip for consumers:
Triple check all, and take screenshots every step of the way.
