If you want to learn online, you can access courses on various learning platforms and most of these courses are paid, you need to buy them individually or pay for subscription to access the courses. But here's the catch. The internet has made information free, and you can find a lot of resources without spending money. Platforms like YouTube and free learning sites like Alison, or even tech giants like Google and Microsoft offer valuable content for free.

The most challenging thing with the paid courses is that the online website sellers often charge higher amount of fees for the purchase for the under quality resources for that matter.

Well, there are a lot of platforms where you can get courses for $10-$20, which I think is a modest price. However, the main problem is the quality of these courses.

Indeed, there are lots of courses offered online. Some charge a fee and some are free of charge. I think what matters most is the quality of the course. Otherwise, you are wasting your time. Other than learning online, there are many institutes which offer offline courses.

One of the major problems with buying courses is that they are created by users and submitted on learning platforms like Udemy, there is no guarantee that these courses are actually quality courses.

Buying paid courses can be a disadvantage because they can be quite costly, and there is no assurance that the writer really is knowledgeable about the subject. Nowadays, it seems like anyone can just create a course.

Majority of the times, the only reason I go for a paid course is if I need a one on one tutor to assist me or I want to get the certificate.
