“I purchased a course on financial basics here.”

sss g.
6/17/24

The course includes: 3 hours of on-demand video Full lifetime access A certificate of completion Before buying the course, you can check the program on the website to see which topics will be covered, etc. The knowledge I gained here has been beneficial. I believe everyone should be financially literate.

“I would never recommend Udemy”

NIcola P.
10/8/15

As a training company, we have been treated atrociously by Udemy. Having uploaded a single pilot course, we have been seemingly underpaid and the course has been sold way below the agreed fee (without consultation from Udemy). We have contacted Udemy to try and resolve the issue but have not even received acknowledgement of the issue. For trainers thinking of using Udemy - think very carefully before committing to anything. The link below gives another reason as to why you should at least express caution when doing so http://osherove.com/blog/2014/5/7/why-i-stopped-selling-courses-on-udemy.html. I really regret having ventured into any kind of venture with them.

On this Udemy programme, we can get and learn something we want to know just by the online learning.

I wanted to improve my Excel skills. The courses at Udemy helped me with this, they also gave me a discount. I want to say that customer service is at the highest level and training, although at low prices, is of high quality. The information that I received here and still receive, I can freely apply in my work, this is what I needed. The goal has been reached

You do get what you pay for. However, I love the selection of courses and I would not be able to afford all that I purchased here anywhere else. I took a great intro yoga course and on my way to learn Excel and improve my Microsoft Office skills. We will see how my hip hop class is. Some complain about the course quality, but really when you pay $10 - $15 they aren't going to be stellar or the best around. But for budget courses, I think you get what you should expect. Happy Learning all.

If I'm not mistaken, I ended up at Udemy via Social Stack, and to SS via Boing Boing (?). I've bought some courses that were good and some of them so complete that I haven't had the time to finish them. It's great that you can check them out at your pace. The courses offer interaction between the students and the instructors. The store is easy to navigate and secure. No problems at all, but I've also taken free courses that were a waste of time. I'd go for the best rated ones, unless you have plenty of free time ;)

Tip for consumers:

I have enrolled in Udemy's "User Experience Design Fundamentals" course. I thought that Joe Natoli did a good job of teaching how to design web sites and mobile apps that users love and will return to again. I have some experience in this field, so for me the course appeared a bit superficial. I wish the course had a bit more depth and advanced content.

I bought a ux-design course pack. Two courses were great, they transformed the way I approached my design projects. Another course was outdated! With examples from the early 2000s! A total waste of time!

First courses I got here were related to design. They turned out to be helful without doubts and use many tricks when designing anything (for my personal purposes only). The next course I'd love to take is excel and word. They are the simple progs used daily, but there are so many secrets to be learned and remembered.

Besides< as I can see there are discounts on the website right now. Great!

I like the process of discovering new things. Classical education can be boring and I don't feel I can track my progress when in college. But here I learn new things daily and I like the online format of education much more. I've just started a new course in machine learning. It's really interesting.

I have used udemy for awhile now and they have a good variety of courses on photoshop and I used it for some camera tutorials. Because of the variability of the quality of the instructor, it is hit or miss. Some are excellent and professional and others appears as if a kid from college is looking to make an extra buck. Worth a shot but I wouldn't soley rely on udemy for all of your tutorial needs.

Udemy makes it easy for you to find the education you want, at a price you can afford. As a software programmer it is important for me to stay up to date on new updates to the languages I use, and Udemy has a large catalog of courses to help me. I've even picked up some new languages because the courses of fun and easy to use. Udemy itself is smartly constructed to give you access to your courses and course material easily. I highly recomment Udemy.

The support is pitiful. The quality of a lot of courses is close to 0. All courses are on a "LIMITED TIME" offer with a 90% discount that changes the price of a 1 hour video from 200$ to 10$ and the real price only changes during actual discounts like Black Friday. Really shady and horrible marketing in the long term. I am disappointed as this used to be my favorite MOOC but now they became a cash-grab company.

I took a couple of courses from Udemy and liked them--it's much like Amazon in that people are allowed to load their courses up and Udemy doesn't censor them or vouch for them. Just as you might get a bad self-published book on Amazon, you may get bad courses on Udemy.

The good thing is that if you get a bad course you are able to get your money back. 100% back. No questions asked. So there's no risk in signing up for courses.

I liked the model so much--I'm all for letting people sell what they want and letting the market dictate how long they stay in business--that I made some courses and put them on Udemy.

Both buying and selling on Udemy have been great experiences for me. I've learned a ton and I've made a decent amount of money. I'm totally pleased and have told all my friends and family that they should be buying and selling on Udemy. It's a great marketplace and the staff are wonderful. Really first class.

I'm a literary agent and my job is to make my authors money. I can tell you this: Udemy pays course creators more than publishers pay authors. It's a wonderful deal.

Recently, I started to do SEO on my own website. But I need to learn it from an online course as because I don't have time to take a course from an institution. So I choose a course from peter kent.
I think this is the best SEO course from Udemy and recently they are having an offer. I want to share a coupon discount which will get you 190$ discount which means $200 dollar course just in $10 here is the coupon code: TENDOLLAR
Use this and get 190$ discount

Material was reall good especially java script examples are very useful. Videos are recorded but all are limited time and creates interest to learn more.

I have completed over a dozen courses from economics to software development. They have all been very good; some have been exceptional. I have about 20 more waiting for me.

Udemy is as good a site as most instructors are likely to find. Although the ease of use and course offerings is JUST shy of our number one pick.
