Last I checked, the audit option is time limited. So if a course says it typically takes 4-6 weeks, the material is only available for 6 weeks, after that u lose access & have to pay. Are u aware if it’s still like this?
I myself, have a passion to learn new things and branch into new fields. I think it's a very affordable price for the resources! Especially the career options, and the separation of programs and singular courses. I agree
You can apply for financial aid if you want, but it's limited to the specialization courses only. For masters and other accredited college degrees, they don't offer you financial aid.
@@ratnakarmayank First you have to create an account. Then search for the course you want to enroll in. Go to the home page of your desired course. Look for the button that says enroll now. Don't click on it. Somewhere near the button, you will find the option for financial aid. Click on it and fill out the form. Once you have submitted the form, Coursera would review your responses and if you are eligible, they will grant you financial aid. Financial aid is limited to the certificate and specialization courses. You will not be granted financial aid for bachelor's or master's degree programs.
@@ratnakarmayank Yes, Financial Aid is available only for specializations and certificate courses. For Bachelor's degree/Master's degree courses, they don't give you Financial Aid.
I like it overall, especially their Python training. I agree that the pricing and financial aid system seems a bit confusing. Also the program last updates seem needs to be added. However, these are all minor issues and doesn't take away from the core teaching offered in the courses.

@@personnamedkayla Hey Kayla, unfortunately I stopped shortly after I started due to things happening in my life. I am actually going to start with linux (basics) edx and then move onto the cloud engineer bootcamp. IBM isnt that well known in South Africa
@@marek419 I have taken 3 courses. Unfortunately the very first one that I took was not that good, it seemed that the attached material needed some update (but please don't trust much of what I am saying because I am complete beginner, so maybe it was me that I didn't know how to use the material), so I didn't finish the first course. I try two other and I am really happy with them. In conclusion, I will keep taking more Corsera courses.
I am in the Microsoft AI Fundamentals course and after a few hours, I cant go back. Its nothing but 1-2 min videos with no real exercises and the lady us talking extremely fast with no explanation. Thats not teaching...I cant..
It is obvious that they would charge some amount for such premium and easy to access courses! Also, I got my financial aid approved by them. So, money won't be a barrier here. Also, if you really want to learn, you can do it without certificates too. At the end, what matters are your skills and not number of certificates! Good luck!
thank you for the review! haven't tried Coursera yet it does seem as you are saying. interface design seems kind of boring and overwhelming for a non-tech professional.
Usually no, most Coursera courses ara not accredited, therefore no transfer of credits to university, unless it is stated in Coursera that your course are accredited
Hey, I don't understand the difference of coursera plus and pay each course and financial aid. I want to take a certificate from the courses. So which payments do I choose?
At the time of me writing this when you’re viewing a course it openly states that peer reviews, “hands on” things, certificates etc are not available through auditing courses.
Coursera steals money from people,they charge for subscription even after paying and finishing your course,they don't even send notification that you are subscribed or next payment is on....they just charge!This is the worst experince i ever had with anyone!
Just email them to cancel and ask for refund. Its mentioned that its a subscription! They are not stealing your money. Read the terms. It's just like any other subscription like Netflix or Amazon Prime.
@@MS7.7 It's not working that way,once they took the money for montlhy subscription you cannot ask for refund,i readed the terms 20 times,once subscription payment is done no mney back,i have sent 10 mails and got the same answer!No option here to attach photo of my profile on coursera where it says non refundable though....
@@aleksandartrajanoski3975 wow thats unfortunate. I believe they have satisfaction money back guarantee. I bought courses only not subscription. But I did buy products by mistake on Amazon and subscribed to Spotify and I canceled them and both refunded the money no questions asked. If what happened to you is true then that's shady from them.
@@remy7663 Who said i decided to pay?There is no i decide it's subscription amd before you get charged you are not getting any warning or whatsoever,i'd rather pay 500 bucks for certificate or course than draining my account without warning and without dispaying it clearly what's happening!
Yes you can you will have 6months for one course ans 1 year for specialization access to that course ... So you can complete any time within that time. Always go for financial aid for every course.

You can save them. There’s a button for it

When it first started back around 2014 2015 Coursera was all the way free but there was less of a selection
It started in 2012
free with certificate or audit only?
@@aaronjohn786 I believe it was free with Certification for most...some did have a cost but it was small
I like it overall, especially their Python training.
I agree that the pricing and financial aid system seems a bit confusing. Also the program last updates seem needs to be added. However, these are all minor issues and doesn't take away from the core teaching offered in the courses.
do they have "group work" or "group project"? in coursera? because my big reason for learning online is to learn individually haha
When you see a video with "is it worth it?" in the title then you immediately look at the description and see an affiliate link, you know you're in for some bullshit.
for me the audit option doesn't appear
It's hard to take a video reviewing courses seriously from someone selling their own courses
I'm lucky that my college sponsors all these programs free of cost. That too, till the time we study in the college.
What college?
I just signed up for the IBM Full Stack Cloud Developer course. I literally can't find one review on it here or anywhere *gulp*. Thanks for another awesome video dudette :D

This was a great review. I'm considering taking the Python Courses and I'm still deciding but after this I'm leaning towards doing Coursera.
Minding my business watching videos on Coursera/Edx when I realized this was RTC speaking. Heyyy sis! 😍
Great video. A very slow roast of the chicken.
What do you mean?
@@Did447 slow roast of the chicken

With you on the pricing. It is a mess, hard to understand. I am just starting a course, so we will see how does it go. 👀

@@marek419 are entire classes free depending on what they are?
Did you end up paying or doing the free audit thing?
@@inataliarm I did audit.
are you planing to do a coursera vs udemy? or both vs edX?

So can I actually acquired degrees using coursera? If not what online system does?
This is a great review. Very helpful in evaluating training options.

Coursea is not for free anymore. They removed the Audit button
You can still audit
Thanks for the review.
On Udacity next please!
You can take the courses for free. Thats what I have been doing to stay sane. However i wondered if anyone who paid has any its worth it stories
thank you for the review! haven't tried Coursera yet it does seem as you are saying. interface design seems kind of boring and overwhelming for a non-tech professional.
how i can download coursera app on desktop window 10?
Good review. Btw how u'd rate edx vs coursera?
Does getting a certificate transfer my credits to a university?
I believe it depends on the course, and it says it for each one when you check it out. They’re pretty upfront about everything.
Usually no, most Coursera courses ara not accredited, therefore no transfer of credits to university, unless it is stated in Coursera that your course are accredited
some do, very rare wwo
Hi! Would you recommend coursera to learn data science and AI?
Ty very much. We need alternatives...constructive. Thanx again.
No - they are confusing as hell
Python is hot, probably hotter than Java and c
I think it's definitely worth it for beginners
waiting for a Udemy course review
Hey, I don't understand the difference of coursera plus and pay each course and financial aid. I want to take a certificate from the courses. So which payments do I choose?
Just apply financial aid for the course you want to do, in 15 days you will get the course for free
What is the age requirement of Coursera?
i know you can start at 16 but i’m not sure the age limit
I'm 16 and currently studying 1 specialization course at Coursera😊
Totally agree,
Ok
eda 😰
@@anvithaa2058 did ur mom also send u this 😣
is there any flexible source to get Masters digree in less amount online pattern, I m from Pakistan....
I think coursera is amazing, but they’re just outdated and they try and trick you in the payment plans😂
You can't do labs as well on the free audit option. Found this midway through the course 😂
At the time of me writing this when you’re viewing a course it openly states that peer reviews, “hands on” things, certificates etc are not available through auditing courses.
Hii.. Can I do online graduation program through this platform and will it be worth
For me there is no benefits from this courses.
