"Comfortable learning experience"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera is easy to use. Just log in, enroll in the program, and start learning effectively. It boosts concentration with simplistic UI/UX and is ads-free.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Their mobile application consumes a lot of space, while mobile notifications also cause hindrances while studying. They should come up with a DND-integrated mode.

Coursera has helped me to upskill and attain extra knowledge while performing my duties with my current employer. It helps me to concentrate and keep growing on the learning curve in my leisure time.

"best review"
What do you like best about Coursera?

What I like most about Coursera is the variety of courses and catalogs that they have available, which gives greater accessibility to education today, they have different types of topics and branches and the courses are very well structured for what they are easy to learn.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

I don't like that many courses are only in English, so it should be more varied to add courses in French, Spanish, so that there is greater accessibility to countries like Latin America, which are the ones that have less access to education today .

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem that it solved is that today there is more accessibility to online education, it is not necessary to go to a locality in person to get educated, what benefited me was that it has given me the opportunity to educate myself at all times and in all times.

"Skilling up with coursera is best"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera is a very good place for skilling up for students, freshers as well as working professionals. The thing I like best is instructors for the courses help a lot to understand the required course very easily. it's very helpful for a beginner like me. The course recommendations and the learning paths that we get are also very helpful.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

I never disliked Coursera. It has all the courses we may want to get knowledge about and the instructors are helpful too. They also resolve the problems, if any we mention.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was currently trying to know about data analytics with AWS from the basics. But, I couldn't find a suitable beginner-friendly course anywhere. But, thanks a lot to coursera, I found that course, and I completed it, and I got the certificate too, to prove my learning. The video content was also very interactive.

"Review on the best learning platform i.e., Coursera"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Thest best in this learning platform is the content on each and every course. UI on the each course is too good and the way lecturers teaches is also very good. Another biggest thing that I like is the certification. It has so much value and it puts loads of weight in your resume. And I recommend this to everyone be it novice or expert.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Definitely pricing on each course. It is so much costly that normal personal or student cannot afford to do or getthe certification. Another thing is language barrier, some lecturers English is way fast and sometimes difficult to understand the concept. Apart from these two, there is nothing I dislike about it.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are plenty of courses where you can kick start or change/update your career. As the content of every course is solid so, we can gain much knowledge on the course that you took. After completing the course, we can directly work on the live projects as it is giving me that much confidence. Not everything can be taught in offline coaching and I personally learn a lot when it is online.

Coursera has all of the courses that we need to train our staff in preparation for certification. The range of courses is impressive and each learning path is tailored for each course.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

There is not much to dislike, however, if I was to choose one thing, it would be the opportunity to try some of the content before you buy. This way you get a real taste of the Coursera experience.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Coursera to train our team in the latest technologies, trends and learning material. We find that our team is more confident and knowledgeable in their respective work domains.
