Before, I did like this site and what it had to offer. I was able to get a discounted free trial ONCE and that was years ago. Suddenly out of the blue my card has been charged and I only have $20 left to my name! The bank is closed and I haven't gotten a message back from the support team. I was randomly charged $96 for something I don't even use anymore! Please, someone just refund me or give me help, I have a medical appointment this week and I need this settled ASAP
I, as well as many others, have the same problem, after two months of free trial I was billed 99$ without notice. Funny thing is to be a Pro you pay only 15 a month. Now I am a proud member as they took 100$ from me which is a lot and I am not even Pro. Not sure why they taxed me that much, to just surf the basic tutorials alike a free trial member? Cancel your account now! It will save you serious headaches as their customer services is pure bs. They don't even have a phone number. Just a bs form to complain and request "help" for your issues. Never again am I gonna start a free trial with my "money card" nowhere because of this awful experience. SKILLSHARE ENJOY YOUR 100$. I am better of with youtube and I am dead serious!
Skillshare is the best way to never stop learning. I've raved to my immediate family and many close friends about this platform and will continue to do so. As someone with a full-time job and many hobbies/interests completely unrelated to my work, Skillshare has been the perfect way to ensure I'm able to dedicate time (even if it's just 15 minutes!) to my passions.
I was charged for $99 dollars without any notice that my free trial had run up. Plus I do not remember agreeing to a full year of charging for a membership I had no use for. I have sent a report in through their support ticket system and have not heard back yet. I better get my money back. Would not recommend this service.
Hi Jupiter — I hope you've heard back from our Support Team by now! If not, please send us a private message here with your email address, and we'll make sure someone gets back to you ASAP.
At a higher education institute, Skillshare.com is available to students
And staff for professional and personal development.
It has a variety of courses that can be applicable to anyone.
I would highly recommend Skillshare.com to colleagues and I think
It's best suited for increasing knowledge on topics that you may not
Be familiar with.
Skillshare provides our developers with an impressive breadth and
Depth of training videos. Bleeding edge technology is covered with
Comprehensive tutorials.
When taking first steps with a new programming language or
Framework, Skillshare is a really solid place to start.
Tutorials are clear and give you a comprehensive grounding in the
What/why/how of technologies.
I have been using Skillshare for about a year and have found it a valuable resource. The courses often have high production quality and many come with exercise files and projects to get real practice. I've used some courses to get up to speed quickly on creative software. Other courses I've taken just to explore a new technique or media.
The curated workshops are deeper dives into a particular subject and come with their own projects and deadlines. It takes some organization and discipline to keep on top of the assignments, but it is rewarding to share your work with your fellow workshop students in the gallery.
I signed up for skillshare on a whim because I needed some help with a graphic design concept for school. After figuring that out (yay!) I started to explore the site. They have classes about almost everything! I've really enjoyed spending time on the site.
Hi Marlene — Thank you for your review, and the feedback! It's great to hear you've been able to learn graphic design and more on Skillshare, and we hope to make improvements to our search functionality in the future. Happy learning!
I got skillshare like everyone else, on a trial. After a week or two of use, I stopped even though my trial was three months long. I am a college student working minimum wage to barely pay for my classes that total up to hundreds of dollars. Without warning, skillshare SCAMS $120 from my bank account! I am appalled by this and extremely worried that I won't be able to pay for my classes. I am in the verge of tears creating this review. I just want a refund from this corporation so that I could pay for my classes.
Hello friends, today I introduced a very nice study portal app or website. I used this app for 2 month. It is SkillShare app. My best recommendation to study online. Here you can get all types of courses you want. They provide you video lectures. And the best thing is that, if you enrolled any course, that you used for lifetime. And it provides very nice interface that attracts any student and good customer care service.
Skillshare has been incredibly effective in broadening my pool of knowledge. As
A writer and digital strategist, it's given me background in the technical aspect of
Web design and helped me learn what is and isn't possible when it comes to
Writing for the web.
Supremely skilled, very professional instructors and teachers, authentic people sharing frankly their success and failure you can really choose from a variety of approaches, methods and teaching styles and find exactly what suits you.
Skillshare is the best place to learn almost everything in illustration (and much more). The teachers are great, the tutorials fantastic, I'm really enjoying every second I spend on the site, I'm learning so much, thank you all!
SkillShare is one of the best resources a university or corporation can
Use.
Many large cities in the US even have a relationship with
SkillShare.com, so if you have a library card you can get access to
Their library.
Industry expert authors/instructors -- you're learning from people
With pedigree.
I think Skillshare classes very useful, so far I could find any topic I'm interested in. Teachers are easy to follow, even for whoever doesn't speak fluent English.
Saving classes allows me to keep on following whenever I have time: iPhone/Ipad apps are very helpful.
I absolutely LOVE Skillshare. There is so much quality learning content on there, some absolute stellar teachers, and I'm really learning and creating a lot thanks to the wisdom I'm gleaning from the courses I undertake (just be discerning. There are also some not-so-brilliant teachers. Not bad, just average. But if you listen to your gut you'll find some absolute gems!)
I, like many who have also reviewed, signed up with a free-trial. This morning I was charged $99.00 USD without any warning. I never used any classes on this site during my trial and after signing up I don't even think I logged in until today after I checked my bank account. I sent an email immediately after I saw the transaction (because there is no phone number to call...) and still almost 12 hours later, have not heard anything. I am completely disgusted with this so-called "business". I am still in school and trying to save for a trip to Italy and $100 that could go into my savings, are now in the pockets of thieves. From what I've read, I'm not getting that money back... When you see multiple people have complained about this, wouldn't you look into changing your policy? I cannot believe someone would run a company this terribly. I hope you can look into this and make sure it doesn't happen again. I am sick over this.
Hi Zoe — I'm sorry your issue wasn't resolved more quickly when you wrote to our team at Skillshare! I hope that everything has been worked out now. If you still need help with this issue, please write to us at help@skillshare.com. We'd be happy to look into the charge for you.
Scammed me out of £84 after taking my money they are not willing to refund and have even cancelled the membership I've paid for. No way other than email to contact them. Avoid at all cost, most of the content can be found on YouTube or Google anyway.
I automatically was charged IDR1.321.383 (equals to 98$) yesterday - need a refund badly - because I won't be able to pay credit card bill. Never intend to use the annual plan and yet they rip me off without prior notice. Horrible experience.
Don't sign up for a "free" trial on this site as you will be charged $167 per year with no way of ending youe subscription short of changing your card. These guys are thieves!
