- Skillshare Offers a Variety of Classes
“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.” – Michaela P.
“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!” – Amanda D.
“The breadth of classes available is staggering. I’m impressed with just how far down I can drill into certain specialties. Well worth the monthly fee. I’m learning new skills in software animation, music recording, storyboarding, anthropology, and cooking, and I’m just getting started on my second month.” – Joseph H.
2. Skillshare Offers Classes that are Valuable
“I have been using Skillshare for 6 months now, specifically for learning and improving creative writing skills, and I am very impressed. The quality and value of the course material and teaching is very good. The overall value of the site is also very good. I would like to see some improvements in the UI, navigation and discovery, but overall I still give it five stars.” – Lance C.
“I think Skillshare is broad and inspiring. I love how I can touch up on my guitar skills and then learn something completely new on creative programs. I have finished 90% of classes feeling extremely satisfied.” – Mel B.
“As someone who loves learning, and who is in an industry that requires you to keep your skills sharp if you want to succeed, it’s important for me to have resources, like Skillshare, that I can go to to keep learning. There’s a great variety of classes — in terms of subject matter, length, and instructors — and the project-based approach really pushes me to actually make something with what I’ve learned as opposed to watching a few tutorials to fill time. I’ve realized that if you don’t use what you learn, you lose it.” – Greg S.

Through all these experiments I started to find my voice as an artist and thinking about illustrating professionally.” – Amanda B.

I’m a freelance designer, and it allowed me to learn alot of specific skills i didn’t learn in school in for a very fair price. each month there are new exciting things to learn. it is a subscription business, so you have to be aware of that if you start a trial, but i use several subscription services so this doesn’t bother me. – Bridgit
