The program of this third edition featured new content on hydrogen.

The MOOC also recorded a remarkable completion rate (number of learners who finished the course) of 30.5%, well above the market average of 5 to 10%. The certification rate is also particularly high: 31.5% (those who are eligible to get a free certificate of success). Who are the learners of this MOOC? 64% of them are professionals and 26% are students.

With her certificate in hand, Siti Aziz, a Malaysian participant, shared her experience on LinkedIn.

"I savoured this seamless learning experience and quality content: videos by diverse lecturers, sketch notes, interactive quizzes (with passing marks!) and handouts (in 3-languages) – all for free!" she notes.

For his part, Amine Amrani, an engineering student at Polytech'Lille confirms:
"I really enjoyed following this MOOC organized by IFP School. It was a great opportunity to learn about the importance of energy transition, the different challenges we need to tackle and how Artificial Intelligence can help to achieve Paris Agreement goals. I highly recommend it!"
