Udemy

A large marketplace of individually created video courses covering practical skills, from software development to languages and business. About Udemy: Udemy is an online course marketplace where independent instructors create and sell video-based courses, covering a huge breadth of practical topics — often more hands-on and skill-specific than university-style platforms. Key Features: Enormous Course Library: Hundreds of thousands of courses across nearly every practical skill area. Lifetime Access: Most purchased courses can be accessed indefinitely once bought, not just for a subscription period. Frequent Discounts: Course prices are heavily discounted during frequent sales, often 80-90% off list price. Practical, Skill-Specific Focus: Strong for concrete skills like coding, design software, or specific business tools. How to Get Started: Create a free Udemy account and search for the specific skill or topic you want to learn. Check course ratings, reviews, and preview videos before purchasing. Buy the course, ideally during a sale, and work through video lessons at your own pace. Use the Q&A and course discussion sections if you get stuck on a specific concept. Important Notice: As with some other international platforms, access to Udemy can occasionally be inconsistent within mainland China due to local internet regulations — check current accessibility and be aware of local regulations regarding VPN use if needed.
