How many courses are most people taking?

Just out of curiosity, how many courses are people taking?

I've seem that there are some udemy courses are well. Are people taking them from ServiceNow or directly from Udemy. I already have an Udemy account from work and cursious if there is any benefit to take it Udemy courses from NowLearning.

Hi @Hitoshi Ozawa 

If you ask me, Now Learning is best, and if you want to add to your knowledge, then go for Udemy. It depends actually what more you are looking for.

Does this imply it's better to take Udemy courses from NowLearning instead of directly from Udemy?

For example, "Advanced Business Writing Skills" is a Udemy course offered on NowLearning. Is there any advantage to taking this course from NowLearning instead of taking it directly on Udemy?

Also, is there a way to know which Udemy course NowLearning is linked to? I already have a Udemy account and searched the title and matching time and found below. The content also matches so I'm pretty sure it the same course. Does this mean, NowLearning courses on Udemy isn't written by ServiceNow? NowLearning is just providing links to courses written by others?

Hi @Hitoshi Ozawa 

You are referring to the 'Power Skills' package of Udemy courses that are offered though Now Learning.

Full details can be found here:

https://www.servicenow.com/community/riseup-with-servicenow-blogs/udemy-power-skills-courses-availab...

The advantage of buying these courses through ServiceNow is that you get access to 75 courses for $200 - much cheaper than buying them individually through Udemy.

Basically, ServiceNow has cherry-picked Udemy's entire catalog for courses related to IT and relevant soft skills, and bundled them up into a package you can buy for $200.

So review the list, and if you think enough of the courses are of interest to you that it adds up to being a good deal for you personally, then it will be $200 well spent.

These courses also appear as optional courses to take throughout the various Career Journey paths on Now Learning:

Thanks for the link. So there's actually no difference in the content.

The company I'm working for gave me an Udemy account already so it's probably not worth additional $200 to get an Udemy account from NowLearning.
