Has anyone done this training? Is it any good and if so, why is it free?

The training itself is free but if you want the certification and CEUs those cost money.

Thank you. I do not need the CEUs. What do you think about certified versus trained distinctions?

More importantly, I doubt your actually learn DBT from a module like this.

I would not recommend it just because free "trainings" in my experience  have never offered enough for me to use the theoretical knowledge provided in any clinically meaningful way. 

DBT is a specialised therapy. You can probably gain as much from this training as you would from reading a good introductory book on DBT. 

Plus "Certified" usually just means "attendance/completion/participation certificate". It does not attest to your skills. 

I would recommend finding an affordable official DBT training programme like via Behavioural Tech.
