The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) has a distance learning program called Education and Training Online, which provides courses in peace and conflict resolution. Many of these courses are free and they can be easily accessed online. Besides, USIP offers certificates for certain courses to trainees who successfully pass course exams online. Some of these courses are also available in Arabic, Farsi and Spanish.
While these courses can be relevant to students studying peace and conflict studies, they can be extremely useful for NGOs and other agencies in developing countries to understand conflict management and learn lessons from around the world and contribute their own experiences. As these courses have been developed in an interactive manner, trainees will get several opportunities to share their ideas. For those who cannot access internet continuously, the courses also provide pdf versions of the curriculum which can be downloaded and viewed offline. There are also Question & Answer sessions in the course which will help trainees to check their own progress of learning.
Some Courses are available in Arabic, Farsi and Spanish.
At the end of specified courses, there will be a certificate exam, also to be conducted online. If trainees pass this exam, they will be awarded with a certificate.
Currently, USIP’s Education and Training Online program has four online courses open for anyone to study. These courses are:
* Certificate Course in Conflict Analysis
Start the online course here.
* Certificate Course in Negotiation and Conflict Management
Start the online course here.
* Certificate Course in Interfaith Conflict Resolution
Start the online course here.
* Introductory Course on the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe)
No certificate available.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted to test your understanding of terms and concepts. When the course is complete, you will have the opportunity to take a certificate exam. If you pass the exam, you will earn the Certificate of Course Completion in Conflict Analysis, Negotiation and Conflict Management or Interfaith Conflict Resolution.

how are these certificates usefull in academics.. do they carry sufficient value to be produced at the time of personal interviews?
Dear subhalakshmi,
I am not sure how I should respond to your question. Every knowledge can be useful in your life. I don't know if any of your future employers would value this certificates, because it depends on the employers and the job, for which you would be applying. Seeing as many of the courses are free, that means that you would need to invest only your time. If you are interested in them, I would suggest you go and take them.
Kind regards

Dear subhalakshmi,
Glad to hear that you've decided to take the online courses. Hope you'll find use for them in the future.
As for your inquiry about more free online courses… well, I've searched our database and only found this one http://www.mladiinfo.com/2011/11/16/online-traini… , but it's only for journalists, so if you are not one, you cannot take it. All of the other courses have expired. I would suggest you check our database yourself, maybe you will find something I've missed.
Kind regards
