Just wondering what happens if you don't complete it do you have to pay anything?
I fancy doing a couple to bulk up my CV but don’t want to waste my time if they are in reality worthless.

Its worthless if you want to convince employers that you are as qualified as someone who did a degree on it.
If your friends got the same marks in the course and job experience as you, then this might help. A very little.
More so than the certificate helping your CV, if you learn something which will benefit what you'd like to do then that's worth it. One course teaches you how to create a search engine and the syntax/ style can be used across different programming languages. If youve done a degree/ are interested in similar topics I think it'll widen your knowledge...
Plus some of these unis are the best in the world and the lecturers must be good.

Think I'm going to do the introduction to physics, wish I had got my head down at school rather.
