25+ Online Learning Deals & Discounts

Offers from edX, Codecademy, Pluralsight, DataCamp, Domestika, and more! Updated regularly.

Every Black Friday, Class Central compiles the best online learning deals from online course platforms. But you don’t need to wait for Black Friday. You can find interesting deals all year long!

In this article, we’ve compiled the best online learning deals and discounts available right now (or that will soon go live). When deals have an end date, we included it too, but note that it’s not rare for deals to remain active even past their end date, so you might want to give them a try nonetheless.

We’ve spent hours looking for new deals, testing them, and updating this article. And we’ll continue to regularly expand it as new deals go live. If you know a deal that isn’t listed yet, please share it in the comments below.
