Why are the Udemy instructors giving away free Udemy Coupons?
Every instructor has worked for hours on each of their courses. As new courses get launched, the instructors have no way to get their course in front of an audience to get some feedback. So, instructors share free coupons for their courses to get feedback from the students. We attheprogrammingbuddy.club work with these instructors to get their courses available to our buddies.
Is Udemy safe to use?
Yes, payments on Udemy are safe. It is no different than paying for other services on an application or website and inputting your payment information before receiving your goods. Just be sure to keep your account secure, do not share your udemy accounts.
Can Udemy courses get you a job?
Earning a skill is more valuable than earning a job these days. Skills are your most valuable asset. They can help you qualify for jobs you want and get promoted to more advanced positions within your organization. Unfortunately, it is difficult for many people to balance taking courses with work and family obligations. We have had many students, who have taken just Udemy courses, started a job as well as started freelancing with the skills they have learned.
