A fresh batch of free Udemy courses covering everything from Copilot and Excel to Django, Python, Git, React, NotebookLM and deepfake topics, this sits in the same space as short, self-paced training from the likes of Coursera and LinkedIn Learning. Expect bite-sized lessons aimed at getting you moving quickly, with a mix of beginner-friendly intros and more niche subjects such as agentic engineering and Hermes.

Who is this for?

Good for anyone who learns best by following along, especially if you want a low-risk way to test a topic before committing to a longer programme. If you are brushing up for work, prioritise practical courses that include exercises, projects, or downloadable resources, as they tend to translate better into real skills than lecture-only playlists.

  • Office skills: Excel and Copilot courses suit day-to-day productivity and reporting.
  • Software development: Python, Django, Git and React are useful if you want a portfolio-ready workflow.
  • AI tools and media: NotebookLM and deepfake-related content is more exploratory, check the syllabus and recency.
