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.
The range of courses is amazing. But sometimes the quality of sound and video is not that great.
All in all you have to know which one is good. Maybe do some research.
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.
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 have become a habitual user of Udemy for all my basic educational and informational needs. Other than perhaps Amazon.com Kindle books, I tend towards Udemy's instructors for a recent drawing course, finance course, etc. Some information given here tends to be too generic to be dependable and useful, but overall I like Udemy's course offerings and panel of instructors. The only concern I have with this site is the low prices they charge which may or may not be as scrupulous treatment of instructors as one can give a person who is educating others. The customer service here has improved significantly in terms of delay in response times to a support ticket and resolution of student issues in the last 2 years (since 2018), though I haven't utilized Udemy as an instructor so I cannot comment on the level of customer support shown for them. If you are an instructor I recommend you not give out much information and that you use caution unless you are not expecting high return on investment for giving the instruction to others.
I used it to find courses when I was changing a job. There were plenty offers and so many discounts! Easy search and understandable interface.
There's a few courses that have high quality video but some don't. So I usually just buy courses when they are on sale because you don't know what you are going to get until you buy it.
Some good courses too but just low quality for the money.
Plus, so hard to contact a human. Still waiting.
On this Udemy programme, we can get and learn something we want to know just by the online learning.
Udemy provides an assortment of courses at a reasonable price. So far, the classes that I have used have been good quality and helpful. However, I have also purchased some courses that I eventually failed to complete because they really didn't match my needs compared to the description
I like the platform and feel like you get a good value when you catch courses on sale. Why not 5 stars? Several courses that I paid for, I found later on Youtube. When I mentioned it it was well past 30 days and past the refund point. SO just double check before you buy. Don't ever but things at the full price!
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!
A lot of free courses and pretty easy and comfortable to learn new things. Some courses are not really informative but it's up to students to switch to any other course any time you want.
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.
Very good website, lots of courses to choose from, some are even free so you can find something even without spending money which is really good when looking for new job.
I have been using udemy for two years and the courses are good with less price. I am able to purchase and study on my own from mobile and laptop easily.
I've found a few free courses and It was much fun to study them. I like online learning with no strict deadlines and no marks.
Answer: I would not recommend taking the beginner computer coarses if you have absolutly no computer experience. Even the essential skills for word is difficult without prior knowledge. They are too fast and go too in-depth for beginner stage. Not good...
Answer: Most of them are entry level courses that don't have any accreditation offered to students but there is a messaging feature that students can use once logged in to ask instructors if they have accredited status. As of the last search results about 866 entries have been returned for Reiki, some of which offer certification but not accreditation. I personally have not taken a Reiki course so I cannot comment on the offerings and quality.
Answer: It should indicate the presence of accreditation and type offered in the course description; most course listing allow students logged into Udemy to contact the instructor via messaging.
