@krokodilo.. This is valid for only North America
Hope your address is in NA, else the code won't work.
I had no address, just the letter "a", which I think is likely partially why I got banned (again). The coupon only relies on your personal and shipping country being in the US. If you set it to US, the coupon will be accepted.
They offer a number of free multi-week courses, preparing you for their rather cheap certifications. Even if you don't take the certification exam, you can still pass the course-ending exam to get a cert-of-attendance. The training's pretty good quality and each course will take 1.5 to 6 hours each week. Depending on your schedule you can fit more than one in parallel.
Courses + attendance cert: free
DBA or developer exam: $150
Alibaba Cloud is offering Apsara Clouder Technical Certification for free too.

An acquaintance of mine just informed me about a way of doing the ISO27001 Foundational training and certification in a relatively cheap fashion. Online e-learnings and at-home proctored exams are nothing new of course, so here’s a set for ISO27001.
Innovative Learning are APMG and PECB accredited training organizations, so it’s not a fly-by-night operation.
If you consider APMG’s Foundation level: €299 gets you a month’s access to the e-learning, a practice exam (including review) and the actual exam. That’s a pretty decent price tag for something that’s often priced highly “because corporate customers!”.
To paraphrase my acquaintances’ experience: * The video content rings in around five (5) hours. * Video quality (resolution) is a bit “meh” at 360p. * They spent roughly fifteen (15) hours in preparation for the exam (video, selfstudy, practice exam). * The online exam uses ProctorU, one of the many Flash-based proctoring solutions.
So… If you’re in the need for a foundational cert and want to save some money, you could consider this option.
@FluffyBunny well ISO is something I'm definitely interested in and it's at nthe core of my career goals!
Good luck. I never did like ISO personally because it is subject to many different interpretations to the point that the auditors at my old workplace interpreted it in absurd ways.

That's true, and it's also true for all frameworks. I conducted many ISO and NIST assessments and wrote many strategies, it helps to know the frameworks well. I'm expected to be an expert on them, so this training is meant to fill some gaps (I hope) or at least to be a review.
you know, something to do instead of Netflix and useless news
I finished all the modules for ISO foundation yesterday, and I think I just take the exam now but I won't.
I've got things I need to prepare for work on Monday, I'll just do the practice test on tuesday and be done with it.
It was actually not bad, just a quick intro to ISO...my goal is to bridge any gaps I have and to review the framework since I'm expected to be an expert on it.
Good find
I'm also doing some modules on Pluralsight for ISO and AWS.

wow, I have not logged in to my CWNP account since 2008! I probably will not drop the $150 for the CWS exam, but the study material certainly is nostalgic.
