[2026] 300+ Free Digital Marketing Certificates & Badges
Free Digital Marketing Certificates & Badges

Previously, we compiled thousands of online courses that provide free certificates and badges. The compilation proved hugely popular, receiving well over 10M views. You can find all the courses with free certificates here.

Class Central has 7,200+ digital marketing courses, most with paid certificates. So we decided to search digital marketing courses with free certificates. 

Digital marketing is a broad domain that includes search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, social media marketing, affiliate marketing, email marketing, public relations, and more.

We tracked down as many free certificate courses as we could — including courses from Google, Meta, and X — and we tested each learning platform, earning a few certificates along the way.

We’ll keep updating this list as new offerings appear. If you find more, please let us know in the comments!

Allegations of Fraudulent Surrogacy Practices Surface at Hyderabad Fertility Clinic
HYDERABAD: Gopalapuram police have registered five new cases against the head of Srushti Fertility Clinic Dr Athaluri Namratha alias Pachipala Namratha, and others based on complaints lodged by five sets of victims. While in one case a couple alleged that the doctor handed them a baby whose DNA did not match theirs, three other couples accused the clinic of adopting dubious methods. They claimed that they had already paid the money — anywhere from Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 19 lakh — and even deposited their biological samples when they grew suspicious about the operations of Dr Namratha and her clinic. The frauds occurred between 2019 and 2025. Cops are yet to ascertain details of the fifth case.
