Class Central is a listing of online courses. They aggregate courses from many providers to make it easy to find the best courses on almost any subject, wherever they exist. They focus primarily on free (or free to audit) courses from universities, offered through massive open online course (MOOC) platforms. Whatever you are interested in learning, it is more than likely that their catalog includes a course that will meet your needs.

Through Class Central, you can find courses; review courses you’ve taken (and read other people’s reviews); follow universities, subjects and courses to receive personalized updates; and also plan and track your learning.

Class Central is a remote company with no physical offices. Their team consists of learners whose lives have been impacted by online education. Between them, they have done almost 300 online courses and 3 online degrees (including one self-directed degree equivalent). If their names look familiar, it may be because you have read articles we have written, or even because one of them has been a mentor in a course you took.

Their goal is to make online education work for everyone, so they’re constantly working on new features. If you have an idea for how to make Class Central more useful, please let them know.
