With over 200K courses and 660M enrollments, and despite the start of the year being marred by layoffs, Udemy is one of the largest online learning platforms in the world.
Last month, Class Central updated its list of the 250 Top Udemy Courses of All Time, which included Udemy’s most popular courses, both free and paid.
But in an extensive analysis conducted by my colleagues @dhawal and @archisha, we found that 10% of Udemy’s catalog is free. Considering how large the catalog is, this represents a considerable number of free courses.
So, in this article, we’ve put together a list of Udemy’s 250 most popular free online courses.
A couple of years ago, Udemy went public, just like Coursera a few months prior — two events we had anticipated in our comparison of the two online learning giants.
