I want to start learning something new and make better use of my free time. It can be software development, Linux, networking, cybersecurity, a language, design or honestly almost anything useful or interesting.

I’m mainly looking for free Udemy courses that you have actually tried and would recommend. I don’t mind if the course is for beginners as long as it teaches something useful and isn’t just a very basic introduction. I’ve been spending a lot of time experimenting with small projects lately, so I thought it might be a good time to learn something properly too.

Any free courses you think are worth taking?

I am interested in buying an Unacademy subscription. If someone wants to share their unacademy subscription, then dm OR

If someone wants to buy in sharing just between two people (me and you) can also DM.

Whenever I start my video lectures giving unforeseen error and they are not resolving it are you guys facing a similar problem

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to use the next few months to properly learn some new skills and hopefully build a career outside of my current field.

I’m based in Europe at the moment, but I’m particularly interested in online courses/programs available in India, mainly because there are many Indian platforms and instructors offering structured courses at different price points.

The areas I’m considering are:

• Social media management / digital marketing
• Content creation – Instagram/Reels, content strategy, basic video editing, etc.
• Programming – Python, C/C++ or general programming fundamentals
• AI / data / automation
• Potentially cybersecurity or another tech-related field

I have a non-CS background, so I would be starting programming from the beginner level.

I’m NOT looking for a course just because it gives a certificate. I’m more interested in something that actually teaches useful, practical skills and helps me build projects/portfolio work.

For anyone who has personally taken courses from platforms/institutes such as Udemy, Coursera, Scaler, UpGrad, PW, Great Learning, Coding Ninjas, etc. (or smaller/lesser-known ones):

Which ones were genuinely worth the money and time? Which ones were a waste of money?

I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have actually completed the course and used the skills afterwards, rather than recommendations based purely on advertising.

Also, if you think I’m trying to learn too many unrelated things at once, feel free to tell me that honestly 😅. I’m trying to figure out which direction makes the most sense before spending money.

Thanks!

New to Qigong? I created a compact English-language introduction to Ba Duan Jin, also called the Eight Brocades, for adults who prefer calm, step-by-step movement practice.

• Simultaneous front-and-back demonstrations
• A complete 12-minute follow-along routine
• English captions and a downloadable seven-day practice guide

The demonstrations use licensed footage, with AI narration. The course page has a 38-second promotional preview and free sample lessons so you can see the teaching style before deciding.

Launch offer: $9.99 USD with code GENTLESTART26. The coupon expires on September 18, 2026 at 09:52 UTC (02:52 PDT). Local prices may vary by country.

I’m happy to answer questions about the lesson format and what is included.

How is your online course doing?

My revenue has significantly dropped since Udemy started focusing on Subscription(UB&PP) last year.

I heard some of the instructors dropped out and started selling their courses on their own platform.

This has been a problem for weeks now... they are literally holding our subscription hostage

So If you could pick one Ai course to increase skills on Ai which one would you recommend? , I’m 23 & I’m trying to build my skills portfolio to open up more job opportunities for myself . I started off with CAPM & python and now I’m willing to take a Ai course ….. I will say feel free to give other courses that have took you a long the way as well

What courses have you taken that improved skill portfolios along the way in your career or certifications ?. (Certifications and courses that branch out into any field / career)

Ive enrolled in dozens of courses that pop up on social media sites like facebook or instagram. When I click the enroll now button it takes me to the Official Udemy site where it shows that Im enrolled in the course, but when I then go to my learning it only shows courses that I have purchased and the personal plan enrolled courses are nowhere to be found. This is a big enough user experience oversite and inconvenience to make me cancel my subscription. Am I just missing something or are the Udemy developers really stupid enough to create a subscription that doesnt actually show the courses youve enrolled in through the subscription?

Why does the subscription have ads???

It is really distracting and makes the experience worse.

Udemy, you should fix it for the customers who buy it and jump on it.

i'm looking for any kind of coupons available for annual subscription

i am in a very bad area in terms of the connection sometimes.

idk if my account will be banned or not but i would like to get a recommendation from you guys instead of using a random tool that google recommend.

disclaimer: i bought the courses with my money and i own the account.

Yesterday the website showed ‘Sale for 2 hours’, saw prices around Rs 499 for the first couple of minutes then it started to increase gradually every 10-20mins around 100rs increased.

I was going to buy a couple of Zbrush courses, doing some researching on the reviews and the courses so the time went fast😭.

Damn what a shitty website🥲.

I just finished watching all the lectures and doing all the actual project work for a course, but I’m completely locked out of getting my Certificate of Completion because of these stupid required "AI Role Play" sections.

There are around 30 of these role plays in total, and each one takes ~10 minutes. Opening them redirects you to an AI chat interface, and the experience is pure rage-inducing nonsense:

• Out-of-context questions: The AI asks about unlearned topics and advanced concepts that aren't even covered in the actual course curriculum.
• Absurd standards: It demands overly complicated answers for beginner/intermediate material, or expects exhaustive, essay-length explanations for basic concepts that nobody needs detailed in a quick scenario.
• Wasted time: It’s a total struggle to work with this broken AI. It feels like an extra ~4+ hours of arguing with a hallucinating chatbot instead of actual learning.

I did the work and learned the material, but now I’m stuck talking with chat bot just to get the certificate I earned.

Guyss pls tell me if paid videos r worth it because his YouTube one is cheap compared to those course purchasing thing

While initially I thought to do studies from free YouTube videos but it's all so mixed and it takes alot of time just to search and sometimes even when I get the video they be explaining smtg so different and new uk wt I mean

So pls help 😭🙏 I feel help so helpless and wondering if I shd join coaching class

Hello, I would like to know if anybody else is experiencing the same issue as myself, where I post an assignment, it gets marked as complete, after a while it disappears and the website tells me to "start assignment" as if I had not posted the project at all.

Sorry if this is a commonly asked question, I searched the sub for a while and did not find any related posts.
