UDEMY Courses & Certifications Online

Several options are available for accessing Udemy's courses based on the learning needs and financial situation of the individual:

(1) One-time purchase (Courses On Demand): Courses can be purchased, and lifetime access is granted so that courses can be learned at one's own pace with no time limit.

(2) Udemy Personal Plan (Subscription): The user gets unlimited access to thousands of top-rated courses with a monthly or annual payment. The advantage here is that the access lasts only as long as the subscription stays active.

(3) Free Udemy Courses: Instructors may offer a few courses free of charge, giving access to just the videos but no certificates or extra services like direct Q&A with the instructor.

(4) Udemy Business: This plan is for organizations and offers large teams access to collections of courses for skill development.

1. After completing all the curriculum items of a course, the trophy above the course player will change color, and you will see a notification indicating the certificate of completion is ready.

2. Click on the trophy. Then, click Get Certificate to view the certificate.

3. You will now be able to see the certificate. To download it, click Download on the lower right-hand side of the page.

Certificates can be saved as a .pdf or .jpg file so that you can easily share your accomplishments. Click Share to share your certificate on various social media platforms. 

Using the Q&A section is the quickest way to get your questions about a course on Simplilearn answered. However, if the instructor for the paid course has enabled direct messaging, enrolled students can message them by following these steps.

1. Go to the Messages page (you can also access it via the drop-down menu that appears when you click on your initials or your profile picture at the top right of the page).

2. Click Compose.

3. Enter the instructor's name and your message.

4. Click Submit.

Another way to access messages is to click Overview under the course player, scroll down to the instructor's profile, and click on their name.

Yes, you will continue to have access to your Udemy course even after completing it as long as your account status is active and Udemy retains a licence for the respective course. You can go through relevant content or participate in the entire programme whenever you want. Udemy gives lifetime access to all courses bought, based on whether they were purchased in full or at a coupon price. 

This access also applies to free courses so students can return to materials anytime. Moreover, if an instructor chooses to unpublish a course, enrolled students can still access the content. However, access may be lost if an instructor removes a course from the platform for any reason. In general, Udemy's policy is one of flexibility and continued learning opportunities for students.
