Many South African employers do accept free online courses, as long as you can show what you learned. A certificate on its own rarely gets you the interview. What you did with the course does.
Choose courses from known providers, such as universities, SETAs and large software companies. Then list them under a short Training heading on your CV.
Employers want proof of effort, and a finished course is exactly that. Fatima IsaacsAdd the course to your LinkedIn profile too, with a line about one thing you can now do.
Which courses are worth your time
Pick topics linked to the jobs you want. Excel, communication and project basics are asked for again and again in local job adverts.
How to show them on your CV
Write the course name, the provider and the month you finished. Keep it to one line each, and only list the ones that matter.
