Online non-scammy economics courses (with some sort of certification)?

Hi guys! So, just in short my gf would like to learn a bit about trading, import/export etc, as a way to change career path. She’s trying to figure out what kind of course to do. Since she’s working, it would need to be an online course, but I’m not sure which ones are…not so scammy? Maybe, with a recognized not-made-up certification? I’m not sure where to start looking for this. It would be ideal if the course included some tutor to guide/evaluate her progress, not just a bunch of packed online videos “here you go, figure it out”. Does such a thing even exist?

Thanks!

…how does the tutor part work?

You can find a tutor online. Just Google them.

Can you…elaborate?? Online tutor? How does this work? Is this part of the course? Do you search an online course and a separate online tutor? Where?

The Open University appears to be internationally available: about.open.ac.uk

I don’t think he provides certificates (at least not that anyone would take seriously), but Khan Academy has great economics content.

Check for extension courses or certificate programs at universities. Most schools provide online options for many courses (I got a mostly online MBA pre-COVID from my local university when I was making a career change).

Here’s an example from Harvard for what you might be looking for
