Want to learn a new skill for work, or finally try that hobby? Udemy is an online learning marketplace with a huge library of video courses taught by independent instructors. Topics range from Excel, coding, and bookkeeping to photography, drawing, music, writing, and personal growth.
Tips for using Udemy
- Don't pay full price. Udemy runs sales often, and many courses drop to a small fraction of the listed price.
- Look for free courses. You can filter search results to show free courses.
- Check reviews and preview videos before buying, since quality varies by instructor.
- Learn at your own pace. Purchased courses can usually be watched again whenever you like.
Before you spend money, check your public library. Many libraries offer free access to online learning platforms with a library card. For more free options, see Free College: Tuition-Free Colleges and Free Online Classes and LearnFree.
