Using Online Courses to Learn a Skill or Build Knowledge

[Nomad]

Online learning is great, but not all courses are created equal. Many platforms allow anyone to upload a course, even if they are not experts, and there is no proper quality control in place. While platforms like Udemy have a lot of course options, quality can vary widely. Before enrolling, check reviews, instructor credentials, and course previews.

Have you ever taken a course that didn’t meet your expectations? What platforms do you trust most?

I use online courses to learn skills or build knowledge, choosing platforms like Coursera for data analysis or Udemy for digital marketing. I study at my pace, apply concepts, and boost my expertise effectively.

I have never bought a course, but if I did, I would take many aspects into account. For example, there are course sellers who offer a lot of free knowledge, whether on YouTube or wherever. For example, if I apply their free content and it gives me results, then I think it would be worth paying for their course. However, if not, it is not worth it since it would be an unnecessary waste of money.

Online courses are a great way to learn at your own pace. I’ve used them to pick up marketing and design skills. They’re flexible, affordable, and often come with communities or certificates that help reinforce what you’ve learned.
