Hello Nellie,

This course will provide accreditation - but there is a charge for
assessment and accreditation services. Participation is free and open to
anyone of course.. but we have not yet worked out a way to make assessment
and accreditation free :)

Full details are on the wiki.. let me know if its unclear.
