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!

Some courses are great
January 18, 2021

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 Another course was outdated!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!

Could be better.
June 30, 2017

Udemy has a good iOS ap which allows me to use it anywhere, even at the gym. Some courses are great and totally worth the time. Others not so: unlike Coursera, anyone can become a Udemy instructor and sometimes courses are not so good as you expect. I took a drawing course from them, and some parts of it weren't that good because the instructor didn't take the time to explain some essentials. Yet, I think anyone can find something to their liking at Udemy, and their prices are irresistible.

I took several design courses from Udemy. Got them with a 99% discount. Udemy is a great source for those willing to educate themselves. But always read reviews of a course before you start it. Otherwise, you might end up immersed into mediocre content. These days, almost anyone who tries hard enough can get their course up and running on MOOC websites and platforms, and, unfortunately, Udemy often falls victim to mediocre educators.

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 ;)

Udemy is working really good for me. I bought Unity3D and few other IT oriented courses and am really happy with them. Sadly, Udemy android app isn't all that great because of their video player. As for normal website - it's cool-looking and works pretty good.

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.

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.

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.

This site is the place you want to go to learn about almost any subject. Udemy's vast course selection covers areas from Art, Technology, Health and Fitness and much more Udemy has what you need. Udemy is not completely free some courses you do have to pay for but there are still plenty of free courses to choose from. Also the payed courses are still relatively cheap and is a good trade off in regards to how much you can learn. Each course also has a discussion panel in which people taking the same course can communicate. With this kind of variety Udemy is really a good resource for people in all trades.
