I like Coursera's certification options

PROS

I like the certification options and tracks from some strong names like Google. I think the UI is really organized and is easy to keep track of where I am in the program and navigate throughout the process.

CONS

I probably wouldn't be using it if my work wasn't paying for it.

Good learning platform for formal and structured learning

Overall, Coursera for Business is a good learning platform for more formal learning. I think overall our team benefitted from using this platform and was a good investment in employee development.

PROS

The quality of courses here is topnotch. I also like the wide range of courses available.

Coursera is a bit of a passive learning style. The assignments aren't too engaging.

Good courses but with Errors

I think coursera would be fine for general knowledge or maybe even very good depending on the course chosen, but the course we chose was dated and had errors throughout. I would be open to trying again in the future for different courses.

PROS

Coursera has lots of courses available, and the price is good as is ability to manage account without having to get support.

CONS

We only used coursera a couple of months, but ended up cancelling due to the quality of the course we had selected. There were many other courses available, but was in need of training for one particular course, and it felt dated and there were several errors throughout, along with some general glitches which made training difficult so we cancelled.

Reasons for switching to Coursera for Business

Decided to go for the free training offered by quickbooks.

An online learning platform to stay up to date

I have used Coursera for more than 10 years, in general I can say that it is an excellent platform for professionals to be updated in their certain areas, this helps companies to have competitive employees.

PROS

What I like the most is the focused experience that Coursera offers to study and provide training on current courses for the company team. This type of platform is excellent for the industry since they have courses on current topics that improve the professional capacity of the employees, the positive points that I could highlight are: easy access to the online learning course, it has a good reading mode, it has a good system for giving feedback to students, they are open to receiving recommendations from users and They are always updating with new online courses.

CONS

Although it is a useful Platform, it has some weak points, such as the time it takes to issue the certificates, in my opinion they take too long, the duration of some courses is very short compared to the content of the course, this obviously depends on how much is known about the subject, but from my point of view, the most complex courses should last longer.
