Our opinion
ToggleDomestikaIn our view, Domestika is a great online learning platform for creative skills. What stands out is that they produce all of their courses in-house, which makes for a consistently high production quality, while being offered at very reasonable prices. Additionally, most of their courses come with subtitles and closed captions in a variety of languages. That said, the original language for a lot of their courses is Spanish, which means that the offering for English speakers is a bit limited, and you'll often have courses that only have closed captions in English. Overall, the quality of the courses on Domestika is great, and we can fully recommend it to Spanish speakers, as well as students that are fine with some of the courses only having English subtitles.
GetSmartergetsmarter offers a selection of high quality courses, in collaboration with some of the most prestigious universities worldwide. We particularly like the impressive roster of partners they work with. If you want to take their courses, you shouldn't be on a tight budget though, since the prices are fairly steep, which is understandable when you look at their partner universities, but nevertheless might be unaffordable for many. We therefore recommend getsmarter to professionals that want to learn new skills, and that have the disposable budget to afford their courses.
