Udemy poses many challenges to instructors and students.
Video Quality: One of the biggest issues is the quality of content that can be included in the Udemy Courses. For example, all course videos are shot in 4k and compressed to 1080p which is then uploaded to Udemy. once a course is uploaded it can take weeks or months before Udemy upgrades the video quality from its default 720 to 1080p HD. This makes it difficult for students to see the screen shares clearly.
Mock Exams: Udemy quizzes and exams are severely limited. It does not all for the pull the questions from a question bank randomly which means you would always face the same questions on each exam. It doesnt allow for exam weighting meaning that I cannot truly replicate the Salesforce Exam experience for crucial preparation. The limits of Udemy also means that I cannot provide clear and detailed explanations, including screenshots, for each exam question. This has a huge impact on you learning.
Customer Service: The communication tools in Udemy do not lend themselves to allowing instructors to provide excellent customer service. Sometimes messages and questions are marked as read, even when I haven’t seen them. This makes it really hard to respond to any students.
Instructor Share: To be completely honest with you, Udemy takes a massive cut of any sales. It prevents me from having the time to provide the quality of courses and service that I want to. My mission is to provide you with the best learning content for the best price, I can only do that through the Get Force Certified Platform where I can reinvest back into the platform and courses to provide you with better quality courses.
Purchasing the courses through Get Force Certified supports me in doing what I do – creating high quality, clear, concise, and comprehensive Salesforce Training that helps as many people as possible.
