About APlus Courses

APlus Courses helps you choose an online course for the job you want. It ranks courses by the skills entry-level employers are asking for right now, tracks courses that are free or discounted, and lays out study plans for IT certifications.

The site first ran from 2020 to 2023 as a small collection of course reviews. It comes back on 20 November 2026, rebuilt around one question: which course is most likely to help you get hired?

Who runs it

APlus Courses is run by Nihal Mohammed, who also built FirstJobby, a job board for internships and entry-level jobs. The two sites work together: FirstJobby shows which skills employers ask for, and APlus Courses points to the courses that teach them.

How we pick courses

• We start from real job postings. We count how often each skill appears in live entry-level postings on FirstJobby, so a ranking reflects what employers want this month.
• We use facts you can check. The syllabus, the instructor, the length, the price, whether there is a certificate, and the ratings together with how many people gave them.
• We say what we don't know. Prices and ratings change. Each page shows when it was last checked, and you should confirm the details on the provider's own page before you pay.

What we never do

• We never say we took a course we didn't take.
• We never invent a review, a quote or a number.
• We never let a payment change a ranking. A sponsored placement is always labelled.

How the site makes money

Some links to course providers are affiliate links: if you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Pages with affiliate links say so at the top. The site may also show ads. Read the affiliate disclosure for the details.
