successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone

Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
