edX and Coursera also only offer certifications that you passed a class for money now.

You can still take the classes on your own but have no "proof" (It's arguable that certification has any value for your career, but I did like the "I unlocked an achievement!" feeling..)



Yeah I think it's interesting that the proof is being sold, when things like college degrees rarely get checked.
