Has anyone done a Udemy course ?

They seem to run a lot of online courses, they have teamed up with restless.co.uk who offer help and advice to active older people who want to volunteer or carry on working.

I have purchased 4 courses (music, illustrator, premiere pro). Excellent value for money at £10 each.

Sorry for the late reply, how did you get on with them?

[wayupnorth]

Good, just completed another for Adobe Indesign which I needed to replace old dtp software. Well worth £9.95 but would never pay the full rate for any course, they seem to be around £250. If you subscribe to their list there are regular offers but they only last a day or so.

I'm very much on the 'teach yourself' side of the fence. This usually involves me jumping in at the deep end, way over my head, then working my way back to the basics!

Teaching yourself leads you down many rabbit holes but you pick up some wonderful gems on the way that you don't usually get from dedicated courses.

Youtube, Google and the proliferance of ebooks has helped me enormously.

I agree with that Webtrekker, these just seem such incredibly good value, when they are on offer - and £9.99 will save a couple of hours lost in rabbit holes !

Prefer self teaching and rabbit holes here - pretty much anything I want to learn or problem i need sorted, someone has already been there and left a useful guide (or thread on a forum) or video on youtube, which is all accessible for free.
