Where to Enter a Udemy Coupon Code

Udemy applies its own promotion codes at checkout when an eligible course is in your cart, and the label on each code shows whether it’s Udemy’s or an instructor’s. The box, which opens when you click Apply Coupon, is for codes from instructors.
How Often Udemy Runs Course Sales
Across one September and October, Udemy started a new sitewide course sale almost every week, and the sales with posted dates were set to run from one to four days. Sales that short are easy to miss, so turn on promotional emails in your notification settings, and Udemy will email you when it runs a promotion. In the US, its sale offers have advertised courses starting at $12.98 or $14.99. Udemy has also run a sale on the annual Personal Plan that took 30% off the first year.
How much a sale takes off depends on your country, because Udemy aims its promotions at particular regions and markets. Instructors decide whether their courses join these sales, so a course its instructor kept out stays at its standard price while the sale runs.
When a Udemy Course Gets Cheaper After You Buy
Courses bought on their own come with Udemy’s 30-day money-back guarantee, and within those 30 days you can also ask for a partial refund if an eligible course you bought shows a lower price with a new discount or code. Udemy may ask for a screenshot of the discounted price, so take one while it’s showing. The refund goes back to your payment method or comes as Udemy credits, and purchases made through the App Store or Google Play are refunded in credits only.
Buying Through the Udemy App
The Udemy mobile app has no way to enter a coupon code, because it takes payment through the App Store and Google Play. App prices don’t always match the website’s, sale prices included, so buy on Udemy’s website in a browser and you can then take the course in the app.
Personal Plan or Buying Courses One at a Time
Personal Plan is Udemy’s subscription to a collection of its courses, billed monthly or annually. If you’ll take several courses in a row, the plan gives you all of them for one subscription price, as long as they’re among the courses it includes. A course bought on its own comes with lifetime access, so for a single course you’ll want to come back to, buying it outright in a sale makes more sense.
Team Plan
Teams can buy Udemy’s Team Plan instead of separate subscriptions.
Learning budgets
Udemy says many companies’ learning and development budgets may cover Personal Plan, so ask whether yours will reimburse it before you pay.
Udemy Exam Vouchers for AWS, CompTIA and Microsoft
If you’re preparing for one of these certifications, you can buy the exam voucher on Udemy for at least 10% off. A voucher only works in the country where you bought it, so buy it from the country where you’ll sit the exam. The CompTIA A+ voucher stays valid for at least nine months, so you can buy it months before you sit the exam.
For CompTIA A+, Retake Assurance adds less than a third of a second voucher’s price and lets you retake Core 1 or Core 2 if you need to.
Frequently Asked Questions About Udemy
Why does Udemy say my coupon code isn’t valid for this course?
Udemy’s cart didn’t accept that code for the course you’re buying, and the red line under the Enter Coupon field doesn’t give a reason. A made-up code got the same message when we tried one. When an instructor has kept a course out of a Udemy promotion, the message is different: “Sorry, this course is not included in this promotion.”
Do Udemy coupons work on a Personal Plan subscription?
Only Udemy’s own promotions do, when the subscription is part of the sale. Instructor codes can’t be used on subscriptions.
Why is the Udemy price different when I’m logged in?
Once you sign in, Udemy shows the latest promotion meant for your account. Course prices are also set country by country from Udemy’s own price tiers, and Udemy doesn’t charge a currency conversion fee.
How long does a Udemy promotion code last?
It works until that promotion ends. Udemy’s own codes and instructor codes can both stop working sooner once they reach their limit on uses.
