Reviews
"The notion of getting an MBA is not a bad one at all. There are many professions that require an advanced degree and I'm certain that an MBA can help you on your path to success. However, the reality is that most people don't go for the hard work involved in attending school. They simply want the title without doing much of anything." - jdking0212
"Just enrolled in my first course at Udemy. It's a no-brainer. Be sure to check out the 30-day free trial before you buy anything. You'll be able to see if you like the platform or not. I don't see any reason to go anywhere else other than Udemy." - B. O'Riley

"Udemy was one of the best decisions I made for myself and my professional development. All their professors offer something different and helpful, and they have helped me reach my full potential. I started my professional development journey with Udemy's business fundamentals video course. In just six months it helped me develop strong leadership skills and a new set of tools to make better business decisions in my job, at home and in any other situation." - SarahBeth
Udemy has been featured in Forbes, CNN Tech, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times because of their effective teaching methods that engage students.
"What makes Udemy stand out from other online learning platforms is the way courses are structured. [..] I know that my time is valuable, and I want to learn online in the most effective way. Think about Udemy as a classroom where your instructor meets with you every week, goes over the homework and gives feedback. It's like getting professional instruction from a certified instructor." - Jeffrey N.
Unlike traditional mass-produced education courses, Udemy courses are created by real experts who teach real people in a live environment, rather than using canned lectures that rely on textbooks.
"I think it's great how Udemy gets to meet people and ask them questions instead of lecturing at them all the time. It makes the experience much more interactive and engaging. I also like how Udemy has these quizzes or short tests throughout each lesson to make sure you're understanding everything the instructor is trying to get across." - Rachel B.
Udemy courses are taught by expert instructors that are experienced in the subject they teach, whether they're a professor, entrepreneur or professional developer. They're chosen because their teaching methods engage students in a way that's both unique and effective.
"I can't say enough good things about this course with Felix Bougainvillea. He explains things well and takes you through different practical examples, with each new topic building on top of the one before it. He also brings in real-time examples from his own life (which I think is pretty awesome!) that really help cement the message. I would highly recommend this course to anyone." - Alex L.
Udemy was founded in 2011 with the mission of empowering anyone to turn their passions into a business. Today, they are a global platform where almost anything can be turned into a course, from knitting to coding to photography and more.
"I cannot say enough about how helpful this course was for my future entrepreneurial endeavors! Mr. Bougainvillea's ability to take complex concepts and make them easy to grasp was exactly what I needed. I can say with certainty that I am far more prepared to start a business than I was before taking this class." - Lindsay P.
Udemy connects students looking for a new skill or hobby to the right instructors, who create courses to teach those skills or hobbies. Instructors are paid once they've created the course and reached the threshold of students they needed to make it worth their while.
"I have learned more from Udemy courses than in any classroom experience where the instructor wants to lecture you and, in my opinion, all of these courses are better taught by real people at a cost that is much lower than an online MBA that is not as effective." - Jan L.
Students and instructors can rate each other on Udemy after each course or session, which helps instructors improve their teaching and helps students reach their goals.
"This course exceeded my expectations. The instructor was engaging, knowledgeable of the subject matter and also provided immediate feedback on other relevant questions that came up from other students. He took time to ensure all questions were answered in a timely manner." - Jeanne S.
In addition to teaching thousands of students, Udemy has helped thousands of instructors build successful online businesses by making their courses available around the world, providing them with data to grow their audience, connecting them with huge talent pools and helping them find commercial sponsorships for courses.
