Udemy

Udemy is a global online learning platform and marketplace designed to help individuals and organizations develop practical skills through flexible, on-demand education. Its catalog covers a wide range of subjects, including business, technology, programming, personal development, design, marketing, languages, music, health, and other professional and personal interests. Courses are created and managed by instructors with subject-matter expertise and can include video lectures, written materials, downloadable resources, quizzes, and other learning activities, allowing learners to progress according to their own schedules.

Alongside its consumer marketplace, Udemy provides Udemy Business, which gives companies, governments, and other organizations access to curated business and technical learning content for workforce development. In May 2026, Udemy and Coursera completed their corporate combination, bringing the two companies together while continuing to operate their existing learning platforms separately during the integration process. Udemy users currently retain access to their existing courses, subscriptions, certificates, and learning experiences as the combined company works toward a more unified skills platform.

Summary

Udemy is an online learning platform offering courses across professional, technical, creative, and personal-development subjects. Its marketplace connects learners with instructors, while Udemy Business provides organizations with structured skills-development content. Following its 2026 combination with Coursera, Udemy continues to operate as a distinct platform while broader integration progresses.
