    I think it's getting to the point of asking which Udemy courses are actually NOT free…

      Who actually has done any of the free courses they signed up for? :D

        I've completed an Excel one and a HTML short course.
        The Excel one I am already very proficient, but it taught me a few tips that I never knew existed in the 2010 Excel version.

    • Miss Dior on 10/01/2014 - 11:58

      Usually the one that is NOT free happens to be the one I want to study. Also often happens to be the one that is around $200. Like all good Ozbargainers, I wait and hope…. and wishlist.

    Problem solving with GIS, I'm all over it.

      Just don't do it in your pants. Or if you do, write a song about it and become an internet sensation.

      Problem solved in 1 or 2 steps.

      Course credit?

      Next up: 5 minute abs.

      Brilliant how they say you can successfully deliver a GIS project with a 1.5hr training.
      The only thing worse than people who think they know GIS, is having to convince them that they don't.

      • Atre on 10/01/2014 - 12:42

        Ha I'm a GIS professional with 3-4 years experience. Been unemployed for 4 months. Thinking of a career change!

          With many employers believing that a Udemy course makes you a GIS Analyst, it's no surprise you have trouble competing for jobs.
          Try geomatics. It's a part of GIS still increasing in demand, and high pays. Or move to WA :)

        • pointblank on 10/01/2014 - 13:01

          I'm a civil engineer with 3 years experience and have spent 80% of my time on GIS over the past 2 years as the company refuses to hire a GIS analyst. I haven't jumped out the window yet.

        • pointblank on 10/01/2014 - 13:05

          How about the CSG companies? I've heard that their GIS are paid ridiculously and they have a lot of work.

        • Atre on 10/01/2014 - 13:12

          yep a lot of companies think GIS=some guys that make maps therefore why pay for that when we can get our engineers to do it. I am actually from W.A, which is where I started in GIS with no background in it, then moved to Brisbane to study it for a year, got a job in Melbourne, got another contract here after that, but now all the jobs have dried up, and my boyfriend is studying uni here and we have a lease so I don't really want to move until he is done. That said I have kept an eye on the other states and even Brisbane/Perth aren't as good as they used to be.

          I've been thinking about data analysis instead (seems to be a growth area) but I can't go back and study since my HECS debt is huge. Though I've also thought about web design, though its a bit hard to use illustrator without a graphic pen.

          btw just looking over this GIS course, if you have a background in science it is all pretty obvious stuff. But I guess these days most GIS students go straight into it or have I.T backgrounds. Disheartening!

          All of this GIS talk is a little premature.

          The problem of doing GIS without GIS degree is that you can shoot yourself in the foot without realising you did so. I can do civil engineering without an engineering degree and design an awesome looking bridge in AutoCad. It will look the deal, but will it hold?
          It's a bit insulting when it is suggested that you can "do GIS" after a 1.5hr course.

          What's wrong with a group of ozbargainers GIS-ing together? We're all friends surely :P

          I first started using GIS not even knowing what it was and looking back on a lot of the things I did then, well let's just say that I'm glad nobody else had to use GIS with my data! So much of it was a mess, I didn't even realise how the associated files read each other etc. After a couple years of googleing though I've managed to do a lot of neat things and manage the GIS data for my company in Australia and do all their GIS work.

          The area that I critically fail in is automating processes. I would have saved SO MUCH time in 2-3 of my jobs if I knew how to properly script or use model builder. Unfortunately working at a consultancy my work has to be billable and for me to really knuckle down and learn how to script properly would require a massive time investment which is, I suppose what degrees are for.

          Atre - I wouldn't give up on GIS at the moment, I see it as something very powerful and I think it will get bigger again in the future. The whole market is down at the moment, not just GIS but engineering too. If I could change jobs to get me back in to more technical engineering work I would but there's simply nothing out there.

    I have enrolled in LOTS of Excel courses and have mucked around with them to lesser and greater degrees. I have to say that my preliminary experiences with one included in this post is VERY encouraging. The dude speaks very clearly and has a very encouraging demeanor.

  • CheekyBargain on 10/01/2014 - 11:44

    Do these courses expire once you enroll into them?

    • foxxo on 10/01/2014 - 19:51

      No they dont expire, once enrolled you can use them anytime

    Thanks for this post OP, I signed up for a couple of them. The Gluten one appears to have sold out.

  • The Gent on 10/01/2014 - 14:04

    Shaking my head at the Gluten gut thing…

    My partner's coeliac (actually allergic - not just a trend-follower) and this kind of mentality causes restaurants and the like to not take the allergy seriously - apparently gluten developing into cancerous tumours in the colon…isn't that big of a deal, because everyone's just being "trendy".

    Wheat is not dangerous unless you have a genuine allergy to it everyone; please don't perpetuate the harmful myth.
