| About The Provider |
Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,
prosperity, and equality for everyone. Alison was founded in Galway, Ireland, in 2007
and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
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. |
This free online course takes you on a journey where you will learn about finance and where it came from, how financial theories were developed, how ideological and government experiments shaped economies, and the rise and fall of financial markets.
The course begins by introducing you to what creates and drives a market. You will learn about key aspects of corporate finance such as financial markets, risk, bubbles, mergers and acquisitions. The course reviews the rise and fall of financial markets, including the causes and impacts of the 2008 U.S. financial housing collapse. The course also shows you how to decode financial stories in the news, and will give you the ability to recognize financial ideas as they show up in everyday life. It discusses influential thinkers who shaped society, crazy scams that worked (for a while), and demystifies financial concepts into simple ideas everyone can understand.
So start this free course today and learn about financial concepts, and key aspects of corporate finance.
