Only As Good as The Content – Etc.
To anyone who may have had a negative experience with Udemy/udemy.com, I offer these words of advice, as someone who has successfully completed three or four courses, and is in the middle of two others: 1. REMEMBER, UDEMY IS A PLATFORM. Just like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc, the content is only as good as the creator. If you can't preview the course before you purchase, it's probably not worth purchasing. 2. WAIT FOR THE SALES. There are constantly sales on courses on Udemy. Sign up on the platform, enter the types of things you are interested in learning about, and WAIT. There's no point paying R1,500 (or more!) for a course that will eventually go on sale for R200, R220, etc. 3. UDEMY.COM (by and large) DOES NOT OFFER QUALIFICATIONS. It's about developing yourself as a person. Those are the types of courses you should be looking for on Udemy. 4. YOU HAVE A 30-DAY WINDOW TO CLAIM A MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE ON JUST ABOUT ANY COURSE. Unless that course was purchased with Udemy credits (in which case your refund will be in terms of credits), you were gifted your course, and in terms of a few other scenarios. 5. SOME OF THE LECTURERS ARE EXTREMELY BORING. You won't know that until you get into the course material. 6. SOME OF THE LECTURERS MAY APPEAR EXTREMELY BORING, BUT ARE ACTUALLY GREAT. Again, you won't know that until you get into the course material.
Other than that, my experience of Udemy has been great. You just have to make sure that the course you pick is of interest to you. And, as a tip, take notes as you go through the lectures.
That's it from me...

7. ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO THE COURSE'S RATING. If it's rated highly (4,5 and higher), that's great. If you can, see if you can a few other courses by the same creator, and see if they rate equally highly.
