Most courses are offered with an option to learn for free for a limited time (course length plus 14 days). You can opt to pay for a course upgrade which will give you access to the course for as long as it exists on FutureLearn, access to course tests and enable you to qualify for a certificate. The cost of upgrading varies depending on the course, and generally ranges from £24 to £69 per course. You can also buy unlimited access for one year for £209.
