Alison was founded in Galway in 2007 and has grown organically to become a major force in online education. Today, with more than 11 million learners in 195 countries, Alison is changing how the world learns.

We are committed to equality and access to education irrespective of gender, geography, economic status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So we offer a range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN declared that everyone is entitled to a free education. That statement will always inspire us.

Alison was started and is run by Mike Feerick. Mike is first and foremost a businessman, but one with a difference. He happens to believe that the better you do financially, the more good you can do.

Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise. We make our money through advertising, merchandise and the sale of Certificates and Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one.

TESTIMONIAL:

"Alison provides the knowledge to help individuals reach their goals and start their journey to a better education. To me, it is a great motivation. Alison is a great career builder – an inspiration to those who thought gaining an education is impossible due to life circumstances. It also gave me the push to continue studying, knowing that all that you need to complete your goal is possible. The learning environment that it provides is beneficial to everyone.".......
