I think $168 a year is very fair. I would do the monthly $32 a month because of the heads up you mentioned. The way I see it, when I was in college, there were other students that just didn’t want to be there. I sat in front of the class like a nerd. Trust me I’m no nerd. Anyway, thank you so much for the info.

yeah but somehow I find Skillshare has better standards on the video and audio quality. Udemy makes me mad ,when you pay for a course about music theory with really terrible audio (a lot of background noise, recorded with the cheapest mic, probably from a headset... 🙉) although there are a lot of FREE Udemy courses to se see,😀
@thugpug4392 Жыл бұрын
@Bettina Corbitt check out your library first you might get access to many of the same courses for free. For example the CompTIA A+ course I found on my free LinkedIn Learning stuff is the same course as a guy I know paid for on Udemy. You also might be able to find books or other material to borrow. There's even libraries that offer free in-person classes for stuff. Always check your local libraries (your city and any library you can reasonably drive to).

I think it also depends heavily on the subject you want to learn about, I wanted to learn video/photo editing and watercolors, the more technical side of the video/photo editing was much better explained in a course but the watercolor courses were just so basic, stuff you could learn on KZbin for free. There are some subjects that just need a more detailed explanation more than others, like intricate settings of editing software

I tried skillshare when it first started and was terribly disappointed. I am sure there may have been many changes since then, but I found the classes poor quality and not any better than what I had found for free on KZbin. I had purchased an annual membership, but when I tried to cancel a month in, they would not prorate the membership. In other words, I cancelled but still had to pay for the year. UGH! Great review by the way :)

I canceled my subscription and they still charged me 280$ for a yearly subscription which I never even signed up for. I found out and I canceled my subscription, deleted my payment information, but they still managed to charge me 280$ for the 2nd time in a couple of days, and they are completely ignoring my emails. I emptied my bank account and they keep trying to charge me the same amount over and over again but thankfully now the payment isn't going through, I found other people who had the same issue so be careful.

I believe you can learn anything on KZbin, but you have to find it. Skillshare has more organized in depth classes on a specific subject so it is much more efficient. With that said, I’m still a huge fan of KZbin to find the answer and learn new things 😊

I don't think $168 per year is very expensive to get access to all those courses. I think it's fair as long as you use it regularly. If they don't charge money then no one will want to teach on there. It's not very expensive. Netflix is about the same price, and it's just entertainment mostly. Online courses give you skills that make you more marketable.
