E-Learning and Online Courses are a Hot Trend
Online education may or may not be the way of the future for distance learning; but what we are seeing today is a trend where leading online course providers like Udemy, Skillshare, Udacity, EdX, Coursera, and many more, are offering their online classes to millions of students from all over the world. For the purpose of this article I will focus on Udemy, simply because it’s my favourite eLearning website. However, I do intend to write about other online-course websites in the near future when I have enough experience, or I find someone who has sufficient valuable information on those online-course websites
Getting Started With Udemy
Read through this article if you’re not familiar with online course training, but you are interested in getting started in the eLearning world. In my opinion, Udemy is the ideal place to begin. Let’s start by having a quick look at the website and how you can create your account in just minutes. However, click here; Udemy Reviews if you’d like to read full reviews on Udemy. As of December, 2017, more than 16 million students from around the globe have joined Udemy. And, Udemy hosts more than 50,000 online classes.

Just looking at these numbers tells us that the online education market is huge, and that students worldwide are committed to learning and honing their skills. And the students who do study with Udemy are people who love to learn; whether it be new skills or expanding their current expertise and knowledge, thus becoming even more professional and sought-after in their own field.

The main factor that sets Udemy apart from other MOOCs is that they offer online tutorials for students, helping them to keep up-to-date with their skills. It’s like ‘after-graduation’ training. Successful people understand that we never stop learning, and it’s the same with our careers: if you want to be successful in your chosen field then you’ll need a lot more than just a University degree – your learning will continue for the rest of your life.
In fact, the key to success is to never become complacent – meaning, never think you know it all. Udemy can help you achieve your goals without having to participate in real classes. Physical classes mean you must have the time and money to dedicate yourself to these classes, whereas when you study with Udemy you can achieve the same results, but from the comfort of your own home.
The Pros of Studying with Udemy
Udemy courses are affordable. This means that studying with Udemy is low-risk: students have the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge, or alternatively move to new areas of study. I, personally, have been studying with Udemy for over two years (since 2013) and have purchased about 60+ courses. I’ve explored many new and unfamiliar areas of study that have given me great insights and new ideas for my business.
Udemy’s policy is a Money-Back Guarantee! If you’re unhappy with the course, simply ask for a refund – it’s that easy! Personally, I’ve only had to ask for a refund for two of their courses.
You’ll receive a Udemy ‘Certificate of Completion’ once you’ve completed the course. This Certificate will look great on your LinkedIn profile and your resume. (Read an article on how to obtain your own Certificate of Completion from Udemy. - here.)
Their customer service is quite good. When I experienced a payment issue I emailed Udemy support. The staff quickly resolved the issue, so I was very happy with the service I received. You can read more here: How to buy Udemy course.
They run a ‘Udemy for Business’ program, whereby your company joins Udemy to allow staff members easy access to selective training courses.
Udemy also offer mobile applications allowing you to learn on-the-go. Using this App, you can also download the course for offline learning, which is a huge benefit to any student.
You can download the Udemy App for iOS from the App Store here; Udemy iOS App – available for iPad and iPhone.
You can download the Udemy App for Android from The Google Play Store here; Udemy Android App .
The Cons of Studying With Udemy
I sometimes feel that there are too many courses being offered on the same topic, and it can be confusing. You need to do your research and read the reviews on each course; written of course by real students. It also doesn’t hurt to do some research on the instructors and this might help you make a final decision on which course to take.
Even though Udemy provides a massive course library on their platform, some topics don’t provide advanced courses. It appears to me that entry and intermediate courses are offered to attract large numbers of students; whereas topics that require advanced skills are sometimes offered on teachers’ own websites and charged out at more expensive rates. Of course this is fair and reasonable, but it would be more suitable to students if advanced courses were offered here too. As a student, I prefer to not have to switch from one website to another, because it does distract from the learning experience.
I hope I’ve provided you with sufficient information to have a basic understanding of Udemy and its offerings for students. Udemy is a giant, online learning website, so if you think it’s time, and you’re ready, let’s get started! Time to create your Udemy account!
