How We Review Online Courses

This page explains how CoursesAdvisors course pages are written, where the ratings shown on the site come from, and how we are funded.

Editorial course pages

For the courses we review, our editorial team writes a page from the course syllabus, the instructor background, the platform information and comparable courses. Each reviewed page covers who the course is for, who it is not for, what you will learn, its strengths, its limitations, how it compares with other courses, and a course-specific FAQ.

Every reviewed page shows its update date and its author. Pages that have not been reviewed yet only show the information published by the platform and are not submitted to search engines.

Where ratings come from

• Ratings and reviews on CoursesAdvisors come only from our own members.
• Member reviews: reviews left by signed-in CoursesAdvisors members are shown separately on each course page.
• When a course has no rating, we say so instead of showing a score.

Pricing

Prices come from the platform and can change. Courses included in a subscription are labelled with the name of the subscription instead of a unit price.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links to learning platforms are affiliate links. When you buy a course through one of these links, CoursesAdvisor may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not change what we write about a course, and courses without an affiliate program are listed too.

CoursesAdvisors is operated by COURSEADVISOR, LLC, Delaware, USA. Questions about this methodology: info@coursesadvisors.com or our contact page.
