Platform Overview
Skillshare focuses on creative and entrepreneurial skills - graphic design, UX, illustration, photography, marketing, and writing. Unlike Coursera or edX, Skillshare is project-centred: every class culminates in a class project that you share with a community of learners. This model suits Australian creative professionals looking to build a portfolio alongside a certificate.
