Our opinion
ToggleCourseraCoursera offers a great range of online learning products, which means that almost anyone can find a fitting course on their platform. We particularly like the huge catalog of free courses they offer, where you only need to pay if you want the optional certification. They also offer full degrees, which makes them one of only a few providers that offer Bachelor's and Master’s degrees online. While their overall offering might be a bit confusing sometimes, we can fully recommend Coursera for all students looking to obtain career-relevant skills.
DataquestWith their focus on data skills, Dataquest is a great platform for students looking to learn about data science, and data engineering. They offer a variety of courses, combined with practice projects that help beginners navigate the data science world, which is why we recommend Dataquest for beginners in particular.
