Udemy

Udemy is the world's most visited online learning marketplace — a platform that has democratized access to professional education by assembling the largest collection of on-demand courses in existence and making them accessible to learners and organizations in every country on earth at a fraction of the cost of traditional professional development. Founded in 2010 by Eren Bali, Gagan Biyani, and Oktay Caglar, Udemy was built on the insight that the world's existing expertise — distributed across practitioners, professionals, and domain experts who had never before had a practical channel to share their knowledge commercially — could be unlocked through a two-sided marketplace that gave instructors the tools and the audience to build professional education businesses, and gave learners access to practical, skills-focused instruction unavailable anywhere else at accessible prices. The Udemy marketplace today hosts over 210,000 courses across categories spanning programming and software development, data science and machine learning, business and entrepreneurship, design and creative arts, marketing and copywriting, personal productivity, and dozens of other professional and personal development domains. Udemy's instructor community of over 60,000 instructors from 180 countries produces course content that is inherently more current, more practical, and more responsive to market demand than the curriculum of traditional educational institutions — with new courses launching within weeks of emerging technologies, frameworks, and professional practices reaching mainstream adoption. Udemy's ratings and reviews system, with hundreds of millions of student reviews accumulated across the platform's catalog, creates a quality signal that guides learners to the most effective instruction available for any topic. Udemy Business — the platform's enterprise offering — provides organizations with curated, license-managed access to Udemy's catalog for employee upskilling, leadership development, and technical training, with analytics and learning management capabilities that give HR and L&D teams visibility into how their workforce is developing over time. The platform serves over 16,000 enterprise customers including Volkswagen, Adidas, Nasdaq, Samsung, and thousands of other global organizations that rely on Udemy Business to keep their teams current in a rapidly evolving skills landscape. For individuals seeking to advance their careers through practical skills acquisition, and for organizations seeking the most cost-effective and comprehensive approach to continuous workforce development, Udemy is the most scalable and most democratically accessible professional education platform ever created.
