Udemy is one of the largest online platforms for learning job skills. According to the company, they have 69 million registered users. An analysis by Class Central shows they’ve launched over 200,000 courses since 2010.

The pandemic boosted the fortune of many online providers. Udemy was no exception. In 2020, propelled by the pandemic, they raised $123 million and increased their valuation by over $1 billion.

In 2022, the situation changed. Overall, the company raised ~$300 million at a valuation over $3 billion. But Udemy’s market cap has significantly fallen, like that of many other online course platforms.

Between 2022 and 2024, its stock price has remained fairly constant.

In this course ranking, let’s explore the best of the best that Udemy has to offer.

Udemy By the Numbers

Analyzing Udemy’s catalog with my colleague @Archisha, we discovered that they currently have over 200K courses. You may find a complete analysis of Udemy’s catalog here.

Combined, Udemy’s courses have gathered more than 660 million enrollments. What I found most surprising is that the median enrollment is only 240, which means that half of Udemy’s courses don’t reach 240 learners.

Currently, there are 824 courses with over 100K enrollments and 7 courses with over a million enrollments.

Do Udemy courses satisfy the Pareto 80/20 principle? I found that Udemy’s top-20% courses by enrollment account for 91% of all enrollments.
