The Meta Front-End Developer Certificate is a Coursera program you take at coursera.org. You can audit the individual courses for free, which gives you the videos and readings. The graded projects, the capstone, and the certificate need a Coursera subscription or per-course payment, with financial aid available. Meta builds and hosts it only on Coursera, so there is no separate free version elsewhere. We are not in Coursera's affiliate program, so we earn nothing whether you audit or pay. Audit it if you want to learn React and front-end basics for free, or pay for the full track if you want the graded work and the Meta credential on your resume.
The program is beginner level and takes about 4 months at 10 hours a week, rated around 4.7 out of 5 by learners (source: coursera.org Meta Front-End Developer certificate page).
