Is what you want to learn something you'll actually use or is it more just passing curiosity? Because Udemy is totally worth it if it's practical stuff (programming, design, professional skills), but it needs to be content you're actually going to apply.
The trick nobody mentions is waiting for the massive sales - those courses are always heavily discounted, like 80-90% off, so never buy at full price, just wait a day or two and an offer will pop up.
And if it's about gardening, I remember some courses there are pretty basic, but there are some really good ones made by people who actually know what they're talking about.

I want to learn about flower arrangements and plants in general, stuff I'll actually use in the shop. I'm already pretty into it, but there's always something new to learn when it comes to techniques.
It really depends on what you're looking to learn and how you learn best. Udemy is good for practical, straightforward stuff - I use it a lot to pick up new pastry techniques, for example, and the prices are usually pretty affordable when they're on sale.
Now, if you want something more structured or with a certificate that actually carries weight in the job market, maybe it's worth checking out other options like university courses or platforms that are more recognized in your field. Overall, if you can really make the most of the video format and have the discipline to study on your own, it's definitely worth it, especially if the course has good reviews and covers exactly what you need.
The big advantage of Udemy in 2026 is that prices have dropped a lot and there are permanent discounts - like, hardly anyone pays full price. If you find a course for 10-15 euros, it becomes super affordable compared to traditional training programs. But the quality varies hugely, so it's crucial to read the reviews and check if the instructor really explains the subject well.
The problem is that a lot of people buy, watch 20 minutes of video and then abandon it. It works better when you have a clear goal - like "I want to learn X to do Y" - than if you're just exploring. And if you learn better with someone correcting you in real time or giving personalized feedback, online courses might leave you frustrated. But if you like learning at your own pace and have the discipline to finish what you start, you'll find it really good.
The final tip is don't buy on impulse. Wait for that discount coupon to pop up (it shows up frequently) and pick 1 or 2 well-reviewed courses that you're actually interested in. Otherwise you end up piling courses in your library and never complete any of them.
