Yes. You can start learning javascript on Coursera for free in two ways:

1. Preview the first module of many javascript courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
2. Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

To learn JavaScript, start with online courses or tutorials that provide a structured approach. Practice coding regularly, work on small projects, and gradually increase the complexity of your tasks. Engaging with coding communities can also provide support and motivation.‎

Typical topics covered in JavaScript courses include syntax and operators, functions, objects, arrays, the Document Object Model (DOM), event handling, and AJAX. Advanced courses may also cover frameworks, libraries, and best practices for writing efficient code.‎

For training and upskilling employees, the IBM JavaScript Backend Professional Certificate and the Microsoft JavaScript Starter Kit Professional Certificate are excellent choices. These programs are designed to equip learners with practical skills applicable in the workplace.‎
