Professional Education, Testing and Certification Organization International (or PEOI for short)
was created, and is run by volunteers who believe that it is time for open post secondary
education be made available to all free of charge, and that the Internet is making this possible.
PEOI recognizes and expresses its deep gratitude for the large number of volunteers who come
through the good services of UN Online Volunteering. Note however that PEOI is
an autonomous educational organization, not affiliated with the UN.
Programs of study outline what courses students
should take to achieve proficiency in their desired career.
See the eight programs currently posted for more details. All pages on PEOI are open and free under Creative Commons license stated below, and studying is absolutely free of any charge, but a small voluntary donation would be appreciated, if you can afford it. |
PEOI's courses are not just some lecture notes,
but are designed to include full text, assignments, cases, exercises
review and test questions.
PEOI's courses take a long time to create. There are now courses under construction. But only courses are completed. All PEOI's courses can be studied, but only completed courses have testing and grading that can lead to award of course completion certificate. |
PEOI awards Course Completion Certificates to registered and enrolled students
with average of 70/100 or better in tests, submitted assignments and class discussions,
all of which at no charge. Do
register.
It's free.
