Udemy is always has been a learner’s favorite platform. It gives us the freedom to select the course we choose and complete it at our own pace. With millions of courses available on Udemy, choosing the right course to suit our learning needs can sometimes be challenging.
In a good course, we should be provided with all necessary information, examples that apply the knowledge to real-world situations, quizzes to test our understanding, and guidance in carving the learning path.
In this blog, I’ll be telling about how you can select the right course for yourself which can fulfill your learning need. There are a few ways to find the right course on Udemy:
1. Use the search bar on the Udemy website to search for specific keywords related to the topic you're interested in.
In order to find certain courses, it is important to use specific keywords. For example, Using a keyword such as Marcros in Excel for searching the courses is recommended instead of using a keyword like Excel courses if you want to learn only about macros in Microsoft Excel.
2. Check the course content.
You should look at the course content or table of contents when selecting the right course. The table of content gives the overview of the topics that are been covered in the course and you can check whether the course is covering all the relevant topics you are looking for.
3. Look at the reviews and ratings of the course before you buy.
Always look for the course review as this can give you an idea of the quality of the course and whether it is right for you. You can also look through the comments because individuals frequently discuss the positives and negatives of the course in the comments.
4. Look at the instructor's profile and other courses they have created.
This can give you an idea of their expertise and teaching style. You can also search for the instructor on social media or on google to check their credibility. Check for their areas of expertise, year of experience, education qualification and testimonials.
5. Take a free preview of the course before you buy.
This enables you to get a feel for the structure and content of the course. Additionally, by using the free preview, you can learn more about the instructor's teaching methodology. For instance, some instructors simply read the slides aloud without providing any additional context or providing examples throughout the course, which is a poor method of teaching.
6. Look for a course that has lifetime access and that is mobile-compatible.
It's better to look for the courses that have the limetime access as you don't need to pay the course price again if you decide to revisit the course material or go over a specific topic later.
So these are the few tips which can help you to find the right course on Udemy that will help you achieve your learning goals.
