  Recommend setting this up. Super easy to use and you essentially accumulate free courses into your account daily.

      Yes, you can download Power BI for free from Microsoft. My previous comment has nothing to do with Power BI though, I left out an important link and so I apologize if it confused you.

      What I meant to say is that there's an automatic way to enroll in free Udemy courses. You can enroll in hundreds of free courses easily using this tool:

      Just set it up once and forget. I get courses added to my Udemy account on a daily basis.

    This is great advice but holy shit is it a lot of work and drive space in Windows that they don't tell you about if you don't have a VS dev environment or a Python developer using WSL.

    • Install Python
    • Install Pip
    • Run installer, fails due to "error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required." turns out the Redistributables don't count (I have both x86 and x64).
    • Download Visual Studio Build Tools, select C++ Build Tools (it has a new name I can't remember that's not necessarily obvious)
    • 6GB of downloads and installs later
    • Run installer again

    Then finally update the settings file and create a batch file.

    I've now done it, and it's a great idea but I don't think the average person is going to manage.

    Update:
    Did you find this actually worked?

    Mine sifts through the pages, but doesn't actually enroll me into anything, then concludes it's done.

        Windows found a Trojan on that one.

        Have given up and just manually enrolling from the original tools sites. Out of curiousity ran the first tool again and it found all of the ones I'm enrolled in already, but still didn't enroll anything new, even when I manually set the categories to that of items I found on the first page of each but hadn't yet enrolled.

      Yes, this does actually work, otherwise I wouldn't have shared it.

      Here's proof:

      Notice the date for the emails. The script is run everyday and if there are new courses that I don't already own, then it'll add to my account and Udemy will send an email to confirm that. I get an average of 20~35 courses per day.

      Depending on what Python modules are required, you may or may not need to install a lot of stuff. VS Studio has a Community (free) version and the VS Build tools are only like 2~4GB, which is tiny and you should have way more hardrive space than that in the current day and age. Even my phone has 256GB of space and I barely use it all.

      I have Python 2.7, 3.8 and 3.9 installed, as well as Anaconda installed. Each of my Python directories are around 700~800MB, which is nothing. I'm using them for various different Github projects. In fact, I have a similar script where it just claims the Epic Games weekly freebies. All of this is run automatically via a scheduled task.

      And I'm not even a programmer or software developer. Not sure why you guys find this hard lol. But again, I never said this is for the average folks. It's just a smarter and much better way of getting this stuff for free, without having to do it manually. I get way more free courses compared to checking Cheapies for a free course every now and then.

      Alternatively, there are other projects on Github that use Selenium to claim the courses. Basically, it creates a browser using ChromeDriver or FirefoxDriver and then automates the clicks on the website. It works, but it's crappy imo, because it needs to click a lot (enroll course, checkout, confirm this and that). The one I provided uses some sort of API to query Udemy directly and so it's much better.

  never pay full price for udemy. they always have massive discounts so courses are free or ~$1.

  some courses have great content others are a bit of a wild card.
