Inclusion rule. A provider is listed when its own pages state what the question asks. Order. Providers in alphabetical order.
Starting with no-charge material shows how a provider teaches before paying for a longer course.
Tool makers' material teaches their own product; it is a good way to learn a tool, less so filmmaking in general.
An enrol-for-free button on a course platform can sit beside a paid subscription, so the terms of any certificate are worth reading before starting.
