6 Udemy Courses Under $50 That Will Make You More Productive at Work

April 13, 2015

Nelson Mandela once said that education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Unlike earlier times when getting an education or learning a new skill was expensive and restricted to institutions, today the internet has made it possible to access fantastic learning resources for little or nothing.

Udemy one of the world’s leading online learning marketplaces has over 25000 courses on a wide range of subjects from health and fitness to music, pet care and training. The courses are taught by over 14000 expert instructors at prices anyone can afford. In this post we take a look at five of the best Udemy courses under $50 that will have you using your time more efficiently and make you more productive at work.

Are Udemy Courses Worth Your Time and Money?

Before we take a look at some of Udemy's Best Office Productivity courses, here's a look at some of the pros and cons of doing an online course at Udemy.

  • All courses are available on demand.
  • You can learn at your own pace any time you want.
  • You can take up a course on any device - a Mac, PC, tablet or smartphone.
  • There are over 25000 courses to choose from, on any subject.
  • Courses are highly affordable; many courses are free, others priced between $10 to $500. 
  • Tip: Udemy offers plenty of big discounts on its courses, so if you find one you want to take up one that's too expensive, just add it to your wishlist and wait for a promotional offer to show up (if you are in no hurry to study).
  • Courses are available in many languages including Spanish, Turkish, Italian, Portuguese and German.
  • Many courses offer exercises to work out and quizzes to assess your understanding.
  • Some courses also offer a certificate of completion.
  • You can chat with fellow students, ask questions and engage with the instructor of a course.
  • A refund policy is available if you are not satisfied with a course.

There are also some things you need to keep in mind when taking up an Udemy course.

  • Different students have different learning needs and all courses may not match your learning requirements.
  • Not all courses are professionally designed. Anyone can create a Udemy course, and some courses look like a YouTube compilation, so it is wise to check reviews and previews before signing up for one.

Now that you are aware of the various aspects of taking up a Udemy course, here is our pick of the top ones you can consider trying.

Entering the World of Excel

This course is the clearest and simplest description of Excel for the beginner that I have come across. Although I felt that Jed was moving too quickly for me in the beginning, but I watched the lecture again and it made good sense to me. It is evident that Jed (the lecturer) is deeply steeped in Excel and most willing to share his knowledge with anyone interested. I look forward to continuing my learning with Jed via additional lectures given by him. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for me.

The Smartest 2 Hours You Will Ever Spend!

I just spent about 2 hours going through Scott's course. I've already implemented many of his suggestions (really fast). My guess is this will save me an hour (at least) every single day. Think about that over the period of a day, a week and a month. In two days you recapture your time spend in this course - everyday after that - if is free time! Thanks Scott - appreciate it...
