Udemy - Reviews and experiences

Not impressed, but glad it arrived, honestly.

I signed up last month because I needed Python skills quick for an interview. Logged in that night and access was instant — pleasant surprise. Course pages and downloads arrived cleanly, the onboarding email was clear and support actually answered within a few hours when a video froze. Not flawless — a couple small typos — but the delivery and customer service made it usable right away.

The courses are hit and miss depending on the instructor, which can be annoying. It would be nice to have a filter for the lower quality ones. But my biggest problem is with the platform itself. The videos keep pausing, which is slowing me down. I can watch videos on other sites just fine, so I'm wondering if Udemy's servers aren't up to par.

I just finished this 40-hour online course and let me tell you, the video player was brutal. Even though my internet is solid, the videos kept freezing, buffering, and cutting out. I had to reload the page over and over again. It was such a pain and took up so much time. I was really let down by the whole thing and I won't be signing up for any more courses from them.
