I received a mail that I can now access DeepLearning.AI courses for 1-Month free on Coursera but when I clicked the provided link to Coursera, I am still required to make payment. What am I not doing right? Or it’s just DeepLearning.AI toying with me 😥 ---

@iHack I saw this too and was considering it for the DES. I would also be interested in knowing how this works. Perhaps they just delay payment. ---

The registration method for the “one month free” offer is currently not working _(or the wording of the offer is confusing)_. Hopefully Coursera and/or DLAI staff will fix _or update_ it soon. (updates are in _italics_) ---

i suppose that what they mean by 1 free month is that you pay half the cost for 2 months, or at least is what i can infer from putting a course in the cart and seeing the price slashed in half. ---

I do not think that is what was intended. “Free month” and “Half-price for two months” are different concepts. ---

Yeah maybe, but the end result would be essentially the same, they won’t release the certificate if you do not pay, even if you finish and pass the tests during the free period. So either you get a free month and pay for the second to get certified or you pay half for two months and get certified. But you’re right, something is wrong because is not even clear you’re gonna be billed half for two months, that was just speculation. ---

yes. well it is not hard to get why 🙂 ---

Well… I mean if you put in that much effort that you are actually able to pull it off in that amount of time… ---

If this is the case, the campaign is misleading then. I could just audit the course, but I will miss out on the practical exercises. ---

no you can do the exercises, the only thing you won’t get is the certificate in the case you manage to finish the course in the trial period. Here there is a similar discussion: [Free First Month Course - Introductions - DeepLearning.AI](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/free-first-month-course/727488/12) ---

En mi caso, si no pago la matrícula, tampoco tengo acceso a los ejercicios y por tanto, para mi no tiene ninguna utilidad. ---

On Coursera you can “audit” classes for free. You get full course but mo grade or avademic credits. ---

I believe that “Audit” does not give you access to any of the graded assignments. ---

There are two different forum discussions on this topic. In order to minimize duplication and confusion, I’m going to close this one, and include a link to the primary thread. Please follow this thread for updates: > [@Free First Month Course](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/free-first-month-course/727488): > > I can’t get the first month free, it gives 50% at checkout. Can someone help me? ---
