During the Covid-19 situation, I have purchased several Udemy courses and have found them to be incredibly educational and valuable. They offer a vast amount of content, so it can be hard to find what is right for you but the course previews are really helpful to enable you to check the course you are looking at is right for you, before you purchase it.A great online resource.
I was offered a free trial for a graphic design course, I signed up but soon realised that I was too busy to be able to complete it, I thought I had cancelled my account until today when £49.99 had been withdrawn from my bank. I contacted udemy who replied saying they would not refund me, I tried phoning them to just be given automated responses. Awful customer service and I will definitely never ever recommend. Do not use Udemy as it’s a scam and many others along side myself have fallen victim to this company.
Some of the courses are excellent value for money, but you have to be very careful as some are incredibly basic. As an example, I took a course that claimed to be a "complete" web development course. The reality is that it was a somewhat decent introductory course, but was missing so much that to claim to be "complete" is grossly overstating things. Nothing at all on front or back end frameworks, nothing on build tools, no mention even of version control! That said, when the courses cost in the region of £10 - 15, even the basic ones are not too bad for complete beginners. My biggest gripe with the platform however is the pricing. On occasion I see courses in the range of £10 - 15, only to then see the price go up to £199.99 once I've signed into my account, ready to buy the course. Typically, if you wait, there'll be a period during which the price will come down, and you may be able to get the course for around £10 - 20. But I find this is an incredibly poor way to treat longstanding customers and because of this I cannot recommend the platform.
So, hm. Yeah, of course there are some junk courses on Udemy. But all and all it's been a complete blessing. I've spent over $2,000 over the last 10 years on $10 Udemy courses. That's less than the cost on a single college class at RIT, which luckily the Army paid for :)In MBA school they didn't teach us the important stuff to run a business. Stuff like Linux, LLC formation, profit and loss statements, risk evaluations, taxes, investment or intellectual property.All that I learned on Udemy. Pick your courses well, anyways you can refund junk ones, and go to town. $10 is nothing to learn some of the crazy helpful things I've learned on their platform. Highly recommended. Pro tip: Check out Chris Haroun. That guys is a God send.
I subscribed to Udemy Master Photography Course, the course was discounted from $199 to around $18, I was also prompted to subscribed to the night photo course for just £10 more, for a total of around £24 (GBP). Paid with my credit card and started the course. After 4 weeks, I couldn't access the course, thought it was strange so reached out to Udemy CS and they told me that my payment was blocked, i checked withe bank and credit card company but the payment was made and received by Udemy on the day of payment 4 weeks ago. I complained to Udemy but they ask to prove that payment was made, so i went back to my bank to find out that Udemy was trying to claim monthly payments through a recurring payment request which the bank did block. The course was paid in full, all be it discounted, up front and hence Udemy shouldn't require any additional payment. Beware. Check your credit card payments.
When you purchase a course with Udemy you are supposed to have LIFETIME access. I have purchased material that I knew I would need i the future and now the course is no longer available for me to use although they have a similar course on the same subject but will not give me access to that. I will not purchase courses in the future with this company because of this and will look to seek alternative training providers.
