Who is Mike?
Mike Feerick, the Founder and CEO of Alison, first conceived the idea that education and skills training could be made free online using an advertising / certification model in late 2005. He decided to change the business model of a paid online learning business focused on IT Desktop training called Advance Learning, into the free online learning platform Alison is today, launching the free learning platform in April 2007.
Mike’s work with Alison focuses on competence rather than credential. It has become one of the largest certifying organizations worldwide with 2.5m graduates. Over 1.5m people worldwide will complete a free course on Alison.com in 2020.
