Udemy Reviews

Hello, I have taken some Udemy courses. Some were quite good. But be careful of the ones that ask personal data from you. Some pretend it is for certification, but they may abuse it. In my case, I never share my email address with people I do not know, but I gave it to a Udemy instructor from India (Advanced Innovation Group Pro Excellence or AIGPE) and clicked on some links that I should have not clicked on. Ever since I have been receiving one after another ransom attack and phishing attempt and you name it. That was my number one email address and basically it is no longer usable. I contacted Udemy but they refused to do anything about it, probably because they just care about the sale, not what happens afterwards.

While I find the courses I am taking are fairly good, they are only available online, but intermittingly so through the last few days, some parts of the courses do not open altogether. More frustrating is that there is no email or phone number to contact! Frustrated customer!

Misunderstanding,

A very absurd act of Udemy! I'm Vietnamese in Russia, I've been buying and studying Udemy's courses all year. I paid all for a course and it is Udemy's obligation to deliver the course according to my bill, but now why won't udemy let me continue my studies just because I'm in Russia? This action is a blatant act of stealing and appropriating property in a blatant manner.

I have been an Udemy customer for more than a decade. I bought courses and have more than 100 titles that I have archived and used for reference when needed. I got excellent support for getting some discount codes when prices were too high. My purchases were high and also refunds. Refunds were requested because the course did not meet my expectations. Udemy has an apparent and unambiguous refund policy where if you are not satisfied for any reason, a refund will be processed with no questions asked.

This Site shows you every type of content and when you purchase it, they will play once or twice and after that they will block your account saying that you have violated their policies and after that they will never communicate with you. Even after sending them multiple emails. Contacting them is a headache, if you check their chat support they would just create a ticket and tell that our concerned team would contact you. Now their team is so busy that they would contact after two days and if you reply on their emails that I have not violated any terms and want to communicate they will never reply to your emails. This is my experience purchased the subscription and not able to use it. They are not ever refunding my money as well. Therefore they only swallow the money.

If you have a Mac, I would avoid purchasing anything on Udemy. The explanations for Mac are less and not precise as for pc. The helpers are not trained to answers academic questions but only registering concerned (Basically when it's time to take your money). I was unable to switch dbg for lldb because it was simply not available for my Mac Big Sur for codelite. I found out after researching online. Also some commands in within were not available for Mac. And I texted to get an answer and instead of answering the solution, when I finally got to the instructor, he simply deflected the question and demanded me to ask the question somewhere else. Now I'm stuck with a credit 29 $ and all the prices for other classes are back to 140$ in which I'm not interested anyway. I would happily give my 29$ credit to someone with a PC.

Paid for a guitar course, which is useless.... Tried to get a refund but this was denied. Udemy is a scam, pure and simple. The guitar course is led by an instructor who spends his time talking but not teaching anything at all.... Scam.

Udemy.com is real scam organization. Here is my experience. I have purchased 3 courses from Udemy and paid 1080 INR from my phone wallet. I have not received access to my purchased courses. When I contact Udemy customer support, the said they have not received money but I can see that money was deducted from my phone wallet and I have transaction id. Funny thing is, During my discussion with Udemy customer care representative before I provide them transaction id, they said even though I have transaction id they can't help in providing access to my purchased courses. After 48 hours, they mentioned that they have not received money and hence they cannot provide access to my purchased courses. Even though you have a transaction id which clearly chows that payment was done to Udemy india as shown below. I request all who wants to purchase courses from Udemy, just think twice and it is up to you. I AM SURE THIS IS A BIG SCAM.

Udemy is a scam!!! Save your money. I bought a course 5 days ago. The course was terrible and very hard to understand. I sent them a request and it was ignored. I kept trying to listen to the instructor it literally got worse. I finally had enough and requested a full refund. They denied it although I had only gone 19% through, their own website says a "Significant portion needs to be used." 19% is not significant. Secondly, they promise 30 days, what a lie. Do not ever use udemy. I am contacting my bank and let them handle it. I am also posting this to Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Yelp and BBB.

I want to update my previous post. I finally received my refund after numerous emails to Udemy. My credit was paid into my bank account this morning. I wish their refund process was so complicated and time consuming.

On 10/25 I signed up for a trial on "Master Digital Marketing- Google Certificate", then 3 days later I noticed it was not for me, the Facebook training was outdated and more. I then went to the website, jumped hoops, to request for a refund, but learned that "I had signed into the course too many times", per UDEMY description so I did not qualify for the refund. The course is outdated and the refund is bogus. My caveat is sign up for UDEMY.COM curses at your own risk. UDEMY.COM refund policy is bogus!

The required Google Widevine DRM makes the Udemy platform a lot more unattractive. Even making a screenshot of an interesting schedule is being blocked. This seems pretty bad to me. There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

This is one of the good websites where a person can learn from any domain and any field at a very affordable costs..... This is useful and beneficial for the both tutors and the students who are learning from it... Thanks Udemy...

Utilized a trial account, forgot to cancel and didn't use services. Was refused a refund. Contacted support and got a copy paste answer. Have used Udemy a lot in the past but won't anymore unless they get some common sense.

Udemy has changed its refund policy of late. It is not refunding the amount immediately and say it is violation of policy. You will not get response even if you request explanation. Best policy is read the course details, read social forums, understand the feedback of the course designer. Make a choice. There are lot of alternatives like LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, edX, Skillshare, pluralsight, Frontend Masters, YouTube education sites, 2U, DataCamp, DataPro and many of them. Do proper research and do not take it from Company words be it Udemy or Coursera. I realized it after I had very bad experience with Udemy.

Purchased a Business Intelligence Analyst Course 2021. I bought it on sale for $14.99. It was convoluted, terribly confusing and I was listening to lectures two and three times without understanding it. So, I applied for a refund, which they denied because I was still taking the course, but it had been past 30 days. I think it's ridiculous that they refuse to issue a refund. I bought the course 30 days prior on sale but didn't begin the course until a week and a half ago. I had another course in my Udemy cart for $165 which I took out because I think their customer service and policy is ridiculous. I'm going to take online classes from one of the many other companies out there from now on.

During lockdown, after losing all my music jobs, I started looking to do some formal online learning. Udemy offered many courses, some as low as $12.99, which made it easy on the wallet. I've taken a number of courses in orchestration, composition, MIDI programming, etc. and while I like some more than others (personal preference as to teaching styles), *all* of them were informative, well presented and the lecturers clearly understood their subject matter. The great thing about Udemy, is, if there's a course that is more costly (i.e. $99), just wait and chances are it will be $12-20 before long. They are constantly having sales. Udemy saved my sanity this year at a very reasonable cost, and taught me quite a bit during the process. Two thumbs up!

The company has a rudimentary algorithm from what I researched that appears to favor people that are earning them more money, the issue with this is the older teachers who were around longer appear to get much more attention than an instructor that is more educated or more qualified and brand new, from what I can see any new instructor on the platform does not have a shot in hell of growing because of their limited growth since they no longer appear to heavily market and instead have the nerve to ask the creators to market. If their favorite creator reports a competitor Udemy will automatically side with the favorite creator who is filling their greedy pockets. Furthermore, the classes I have taken are made by young students that have no certifications nor degrees to back their teaching.

I was absolutely shocked to see that Udemy had such bad reviews! I am 15, and I started using Udemy because I wanted to learn Unity, (a game engine) and purchased 4 courses on the subject. The first one I started was the ultimate guide to unity. I am only about halfway into it, and I am VERY pleased! the videos are very high quality, and the courses have a note-making system that I find extremely useful! I cannot say anything about the other courses I purchased, but I believe they will be the same.

Hi Friends, I'm sharing my very worst experience with Udemy Trust & Safety as well Copyrights Team... I wanted to do preparation for RPA courses and enrolled to 3 Instructors courses. One of the Instructor (A) courses are very famous and most reliable which recommended by my friend. Other instructor (B) was newbie however I enrolled to his course based on reviews (Fake/Paid) on the course. When I finished 1st instructor (A) course (completed practicing all questions in mock tests) I started to practice question on other instructor course and I truly shocked b'coz same questions, contents I found which I already practiced on 1st Instructor course (A). Means this guy has copied Instructor (A) entire course including questions, images, explanation as well descriptions too.

Purchases class and then requested refund approximately five minutes later on the same day. Got receipts and they still kept money. Had to get CC to refund. The End. Never use them ever again for life.

Several of the classes I paid for were taken down and I was directed to go to support and request a refund. I have contacted support several times to request for a refund and no response. The amount to be refunded is just under $80.

After purchasing a long course I was DENIED A REFUND a day later. In order to find out if there was any information I could use, I had to click around a lot at 2x speed which disqualified me from a refund. There is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE so you cannot request a refund. These courses are not usually updated often even if the "updated on" date is recent. This means they could have updated only a tiny section of the entire course. Between not honoring their advertised refund policy, misrepresenting the updates, and allowing poor creators, I would look at almost any other course site. There is a reason their classes are so cheap - they're just Youtube videos you pay for.

I didn't find Udemy's interface friendly, I tried to open a course, it gave me features of another course, that didn't match with the course I am opening. Moreover, I got internet issues while opening the course. While, when I open a game or site, it opens quickly.

I have been a fan of Udemy for a long time and currently have over 85 courses in my account. I find the platform user friendly and you can contact the instructors no matter how long ago the course was posted.

I enjoyed learn the new skills for life coaching and health and wellness. It allowed me to learn about nutrition and ways to be healthy and help others. Learning from the instructor and the easy to follow step gave me motivation and wanting to learn more. I have taken 5 course so far and enjoyed all 5 learned a lot. Will return for more course materials for more learning experience soon.

I took a course on 'writing with a flair'. The presenter claimed to be a Wall Street journalist. He keeps referring to- 'I can do this... The course will do this'... There was a lot of claim and no action. Was very disappointed. So I asked for a refund. I purchased this just before Covid. Due to Covid I had been unable to attend to this course until later. They now say, as it's past the 30 day period they won't refund. Very disappointed in the course and their policies.

Please please never ever buy Udemy, they are the worst. I bought subscription, no I cant cancel, they have no contact info. Fakers. Liars. Cheated with my adding on subscriptions and taken my money. 1 TRILLION UNLIKES, HATES, THESE ARE TOTALLY THE WORST.

Never trust Udemy. It is the most pathetic, unworthy and untrustful site. Here are the reasons:

I enrolled for one of the Udemy courses and found that after the 30 day money back guarantee period had expired the online tutorials went down from 13 hours to 8 minutes, if this is not sharp practice what is?

When seeing all over the experience with Udemy is too bad and I never recommend anyone to go for udemy. Type of YouTube channels are better than udemy.. At least you can save your money. Because udemy doesn't have:

Many of my coworkers choose to use Udemy for continuing education. I feel it has the best selection, training and curriculum vs others I have tried. Yes, the courses may be longer than others, but they're more detailed.

A few days ago I tried to change my email address at Udemy. Their form required me to change my password also, didn't want to... but I did it. However, Udemy NEVER recognized the changes, and now I can't get access to my account. Udemy is the only online company I have ever dealt with that has no human support service at all. They do not have a contact form, a phone number or online chat. Their address is: Udemy, 600 Harrison St., San Francisco, CA 94107. At this point I have no option but to have my lawyer send them a letter.

Whenever a course is purchased it says it will be available for lifetime. Later on when Udemy doesn't like the course they just remove it without any notice. When you go back to the course, a message will be shown saying the course is removed and they are sorry for the inconvenience. Making to go through all the process of having to get a refund then finding another course again which you might like, with no certainty that it will be available next time you visit.

My account was locked as I forgot my password. I wrote to Udemy and they asked me to verify by taking a video claiming that I, as an instructor, have the ownership of the courses. I explained that I am not an instructor and I should not do this verification. I only purchased courses to study. I requested to speak to a person on the phone instead of writing emails, but it was refused. I asked whether I am writing to a robot or a human and they never replied. I paid for the courses and I can not access to my products. The service at Udemy is extremely bad.

I had dealt with Udemy in the past and, after being assured they had ironed out the bugs in their log-in and customer support pages, I decided to try them again. That was my second and last time that I will waste my time with this outfit since they seem much more interested in taking your money than providing the services they promise. Try YouTube: the quality of instruction is just as good and it doesn't cost you a thing.

The bookkeeping courses were simple and had a good gradient. I didn't feel confused or lost at any time during the two first couress. The third course was QuickBooks and that got a bit complicated as there was some omitted steps that was not explained. On the other hand if you are going to be super specific the course would take over 100 hours. I figured it out and the explanations given by the instructor was otherwise detalied. When I emailed him he answered within 48 hours on the two first courses but hasn't answered anything on my third course so not sure what is up.

I HATE the aggressive "95% off" all the time, I know that it is normal that the courses are 10 bucks, and that Udemy is just adding hundreds of dollars on to the price so they can say that they have a "limited time offer 95% off" now and then. When I actually want to buy a course, it's super expensive and I have to wait until they get a "sale" so I can get it at the normal price. And I bet some poor folks are going to buy the courses when they are enormously over-priced. I don't accept this marketing approach and once again, it's such a shame to see so many good courses being on this bad storefront. But if you're not bothered by that, it's a pretty alright service.

I'm in the middle of taking two different Udemy courses, Java Programming Masterclass and the Complete 2019 Web Development. I paid about about 15 USD for these courses and both are excellent (IMHO). I know that some people have had bad experiences with Udemy courses and I think that maybe because Udemy doesn't seem to be very good at setting the standards for courses they offer. So some are good and some not so good.
