What do Udemy courses include?
Each Udemy course is created, owned and managed by the instructor(s). The foundation of each Udemy course are its lectures, which can include videos, slides, and text. In addition, instructors can add resources and various types of practice activities, as a way to enhance the learning experience of students.

How do I take a Udemy course?
Udemy courses are entirely on-demand. You can begin the course whenever you like, and there are no deadlines to complete it.
Udemy courses can be accessed from several different devices and platforms, including a desktop, laptop, and our mobile app.
After you enroll in a course, you can access it by clicking on the course link you will receive in your confirmation email (provided you’re logged into your Udemy account). You can also begin the course by logging in and navigating to your My learning page.
Do I have to start my Udemy course at a certain time? And how long do I have to complete it?
As noted above, there are no deadlines to begin or complete the course. Even after you complete the course you will continue to have access to it, provided that your account’s in good standing, and Udemy continues to have a license to the course.
