Learn anywhere, anytime. That is Udemy’s tagline and it couldn’t be any more true. As a prospective student, you get access to over 1,000 free courses. Yes, free courses! For categories that are more advanced, you can pay a fee to learn. The price is often much, much less than what you would pay at a college.
Udemy is the world’s largest destination for online courses. From photography to Microsoft Excel, from learning astronomy to learning how to build an app, Udemy has a plethora of courses to choose to meet your interests and desires. In fact, as of this writing 2 million students in nearly 200 countries are taking online courses and improving their skills on Udemy.

Each course on Udemy is designed and taught by an expert instructor. So whether you want to get promoted, break into a new industry, start a company, or just further a passion, Udemy is available to help you achieve your goals.
Below are some reviews from current or past Udemy students:
“The beauty of Udemy is that anyone, anywhere with an internet connection can learn from the world’s experts. Most courses are taught on demand, meaning you can take them at your own pace, and every course includes a discussion board where you can interact with the instructor and your fellow students. The best part is that most courses are free(!)… and even the paid courses cost far less than what you’d pay at a local college or university.”

“[T]he underlying idea driving Udemy is simple: the site makes it easy to both take and offer courses (free and paid). The most basic courses consist only of video lectures. The more advanced courses mix video lectures with workbooks, samples, and sometimes audio that can be downloaded to your iPod. All the courses I sampled provide lifetime access (once you buy the course, the material is yours forever) and a 30-day guarantee (a sign of confidence given that 30 days is enough to watch all the material for most courses). The platform is cleverly setup so that you can access your courses from any Internet-connected device, and the user interface is crisp and intuitive.”

“I wanted to point out a cool advantage you get with Udemy courses. When you subscribe to any course – you get the unique (and optional) benefit of sharing feedback to the platform. This enables you to post comments, questions, or problems directly where the author can see and respond to them… [T]his really is the closest you can get to having him mentor you in person!”
