Skillshare Reviews & Product Details

I love Skillshare for it's variety of classes they offer. You can learn anything from knitting, to cooking, writing, logo design, analytics, photography, and so on. The platform has thousands of classes on any topic you can think of. The classes are taught by business owners, freelancers, and people loving what they teach about which is a nice change when you compare it to classes at your school where some teachers seem like they don't really care about the topic they teach.

I'd like to see the bad classes removed, but there are not too many of these. Most people make quite good classes. I'd say that most of them are even above average. You can't really go wrong for the money you pay.

Skillshare is a platform that provides very inexpensive education. The classes are usually short and you learn specific skills. Every class should include a project where you immediately put your new skills to work. You can get feedback from your classmates and the teacher as well. You can even win prizes sometimes. It's a great community that offers help from others in addition to the skills you learn by watching the videos.

There is SUCH a wide array of skills and topics covered in some form or another. And the team does a great job of maintaining high-quality content from the instructors and their presentations. I also really like the class suggestions - I've found many that I'm very interested in simply because they've been suggested based on my interests. Awesome!

I have not yet come across anything that I do not like yet. I guess I'd like to see more in-person classes/workshops in the Denver area.

The need for continued education in this digital age is tremendous. Skillshare makes it easy to learn new skills by providing classes and workshops in an on-demand setting for busy professionals.

I love the multiple different categories and options for learning new skills, refreshing old ones, trying different challenges, and the student project galleries. Whenever I'm just looking for a new idea or a fresh take on an old one, skillshare is definitely one of the stops that I take to get the creative juices flowing.

I would like more options for advance/expert level tutorials and workshops, as well as more ... just many many more classes. In the design world there are always the "basic" tutorials out there but skillshare has really proven itself in finding either new tutorials or new ways to present older information.

I primarily use skillshare to spark a different take toward a new project and sometimes often find answers to questions that I didn't even know that I had. Some of the classes are a bit basic when it comes to design but the more advanced stuff is definitely worth the time and effort.

The diversity of courses offered. You can find something about anything. You can also play the classes at 2x speed so you can take an hour long class is 30 minutes which can be super helpful if it is something you just want to get the bullet points from.

I don't like that you have to enroll in the course to see all of the videos. Some of the teachers are not legitimate, and you can mostly sort through that with the reviews, but its nice to not have to enroll in a course to find out.

I have learned a lot about growth, especially in terms of social media. What kind of content to share and how to manage it.

1. Short courses with to the point content 2. Subscription-based platform, can access all the courses at once 3. We can create our own courses into the platform 4. Taking notes is a really easy feature

1. Quality of courses are not so great and 2. Courses are generally created by some non-experts 3. Not so great community which shares their work or skills 4. Don't cover wide areas of skills and knowledge

1. Cover larger domains of skills and knowledge 2. Community is not great. Need to work on that. 3. A lot of courses are literally very short to provide relevant knowledge

- The variety and quality of classes available - The structure of classes, easy to follow through - Website UI/UX - The way they support teachers + payment systems - Suscription Plan

- The mobile/Ipad app doesn't support certain features like class projects. - They're very particular about bugs, I've accidentally had my account reported and occasionally my skillshare account disappears.

- When I was starting out as a designer, I picked up all software skills through Skillshare. - Excellent website to understand how top designers are working and what they're doing.

The platform is focused more on the creative industry and self-help domain. Graphic designers, painters, and lifestyle artists will find the platform really helpful.

The platform doesn't have any quality content for the technical domain. Also, any particular course doesn't cover the full length and breadth of the topic. Short-length course leads to fragmented learning.

If you want to explore a different domain and don't have too much time to invest, Skillshare is the platform for you. It covers a large number of domains with short-length courses.

I like the price and many of the courses

More free courses should be available on.

Skillshare gives you access to many courses at a great price. I also like that skillshare also gives professionals or experts the option of making money off there own course. I also like the price and the video formats because it's easy to use.

I've enrolled in multiple classes on Skillshare and I've found the platform pretty easy to use and reliable. I was also able to communicate with the instructors via the platform, which is a plus.

I don't see a way to communicate with other students who have taken the same classes that I have. That would have been useful.

The business problem this platform solves is the need for continuous learning and improvement. All of our team members, senior leadership included, need to learn new skills every few months. The main benefit of Skillshare is that it provides this continuous improvement/learning in bite-sized chunks of 15 minutes each.

I have used other online learning services like Masterclass in the past. Those can be entertaining since they are hosted by celebrities, but they can edge towards philosophical and storytelling rather than hands-on demonstrations. Skillshare's classes tend to be more demonstrative in nature and I think I have gotten more value out of them.

The quality in Skillshare courses can vary. Most are very good, but sometimes you have to sift through a couple of courses on the same topic to find one that is a good fit and actually teaches what you are hoping to learn. As a result, sometimes combing through the catalog can get a little tedious.

As a freelance photographer, I have used Skillshare to level up my skills in all aspects of my business. This includes the creative aspects of photography like lighting, technique, etc., but also the business aspects of building a portfolio, how to negotiate with clients.

Affordable and easy to use with a wide variety of topics.

Not as in-depth as you can get with training you pay more for... which makes sense.

Trying to learn to use the InDesign tool. It's not very intuitive for me since I've always been a Microsoft Office user rather than an Adobe suite user. The course I took gave a good high-level overview, which I then used as the basis for more in-depth training later.

There are some interesting classes in a variety of different areas.

I had a problematic charge dispute with the company. Fortunately I was given a full refund thanks to the customer service at SkillShare. Make sure you follow up with the company if you feel as though you were charged unfairly.

It allows for a bit of crowd-sourced education in a number of areas, with some good classes here and there.

For years we needed a proper platform for the beginners and new creators to learn skills useful for their career and profession. I grew up in a country where education system don't let you explore your true intrests and talents, and focus majorly on learning old methods which could get you in a job to secure life. but many people today including me want to learn what they truly want and enjoy their life while earning good. And thats why someothing like skill share is doing great job in helping people find their true talents and push their limit by educating them what truly matters.

If there was only skillshare doing the job it does, there wouldn't have been a dislike, but there are many similar applications and there is Youtube, the biggest and most challenging competition of skillshare and likewise applications, which teaches everything for free, is in way better quality, have a community of millions and is up to date in every tutorial you need. Taking about cons of skills share here are few: 1. Lack of certification to prove the complete learning. (Not necessary but can be provided) 2. Annoying ads popping up now and then. 3. Tutorials of many software are not up to date. 4. Poor video quality

I am a self-learned graphic designer and use over 10+ apps for my professional projects and artworks. , Most of them I learned from youtube, which never disappointed me. Everything I needed was right there at one click of a button, though the problem was everything seemed scattered. All bits and pieces of information were here and there. I heard the name of skillshare in early 2020 by their youtube ads focusing on artists and designers, and I thought, let's give it a try! why not? Maybe i will find something helpful, and I was right. Everything was great, brilliant teachers, great set of courses, affordable prices, and even free trials. But nothing was amazing, it was good but not mind-blowing. I was solving all these problems already with Youtube. The only benefit was that it was organized and separate.

There's a good selection of learning resources. It's a simple and easy learning experience.

Don't forget to cancel. Most people don't plan on using this forever. If you're in this group, remember to cancel your membership. It's easy to forget and of course ... There's a zero refund policy on renewals.

I'm learning how to write better cover letters, at the moment.

Many of the classes were of a good quality and I used it for years, learning many new skills.

After using Skillshare for several years under a monthly plan, they booted me out of the plan without any notice. Then, every time I logged in, I was pointed to a screen where I had no choice but to subscribe to a costly annual plan. When I contacted customer service they were incredibly unhelpful and pretended like I just suddenly wasn't a subscriber anymore and that there was no wrong on their end. I imagine that Skillshare must suddenly want to convert their earlier monthly members who were paying $9.99 a month to yearly members and this was a sneaky, incredibly unprofessional way to go about it. I can't imagine how many members they have upset with this bizarre move.

They aren't solving any problems at this time.

I was initially attracted to the variety of creators.

The quality of the creators I viewed wasn't great. The customer service seemed helpful at the beginning, but they turned out not to be as Skillshare has some unusual policies.

I was trying to get better at video shooting and editing. I didn't really get a ton of benefit. I learned some things no doubt, but the quality wasn't what I expected.

I wish I could tell you what I love best about their website, too bad they canceled my account after charging me for a one-year Premium Subscription and I didn't get to use their shitty platform too much.

Their customer experience. It seems like only incompetent outsourced indians look after their customers and this hurts their trust a lot. No answer in more than 30 days and I've tried to contact them everywhere - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email - and no real human tried to contact me back. If their customer experience had been a ship, it would have been Titanic. Total failure.

I tried using it for personal development, but it's hard to watch tutorials when your account is cancelled for no reason.

At this point nothing They have no proper system in place for billing but they have fun courses

I joined skillshare premium and it has been so useful! However a few days ago I got billed $99 over 4 times in one day essentially cleaning my bank account out and my bank thinking it was fraud(Which essentially it was) closed my account due to suspicious activity. I mailed skillshare explaining my situation and a woman mailed me back and i quote "Thanks for reaching out! As requested, I've gone ahead and made sure your membership " 1 i didnt ask to cancel my account 2 you still owe me my money I messaged them asking them what they would need from me to do a refund on the excess amount and have heard nothing back from them...

they have amazing content on an unstable platform

I love the concept and have found a few classes I like.

The platform seems to have streaming issues. Both the website and the Android app take forever to load and frequently stall. I've tried on several devices, so it's not a device or browser issue, and I can watch Netflix and YouTube with no issues or stall at all, so it isn't my internet.

I am so excited to learn new skills to use at work and in hobbies.

I though I was going to have access to high quality instructional videos, which they offer pretty good teases of but the actual content was below satisfactory.

They have predatory billing practices and have just stolen $100 for a service I did not request. They also are not responsive. At all. It really has left a bad taste in my mouth.

None. I have more problems now that I'm a $100 poorer!
