Skillshare Reviews & Product Details

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 love the teachers who have put their experience/expertise in a specific subject into a video format. I also love how the lessons are broken up so you can jump back to rewatch a video for references or come back and complete the lesson later on. I also enjoyed how there were emails that showed recommended courses!

Being a student I was not a fan of the pricing of the product. It does cost $100 for the subscription up front, but I think it would be better to have a type of monthly subscription plan to help ease the financial burden of a student.

There are a lot of videos that are introductory, which can help build a foundation for a specific area. As well as multiple other videos to help build up your soft skills, such as leadership and organizational. I find that it's sometimes hard to really pinpoint what you need help with when it comes to soft skills and having video references are great for people who don't know exactly how to start to improve those skills or who don't have the opportunity to work on them.

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.

The variety of offerings and easy to follow videos.

Not much to complain about but one of the classes I wanted to sign up for was no longer available. Would love to be able to access archived material.

Used outside of work for personal development and skill building.

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.

I liked that I could communicate with instructors though email.

I heard that all of the instructors are not licensed, or even involved in their profession for a long period of time.

I question the quality a bit. I was hoping for more personalized one-on-one contact.

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.
