Personal Plan
What is Personal Plan?
Personal Plan is a broad subscription that provides enrolled learners access to thousands of top courses in hundreds of course topics, ranging from IT, web development, soft skills, business, marketing, and design.
Here is some additional information about Personal Plan:
- Access: Eligible learners pay for monthly or annual access to the subscription, with unlimited viewing of content within it. For first-time subscribers, there may be an option to trial the collection for a limited time before subscribing.
Since Personal Plan is a subscription product, it does not offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, and no refunds or partial refunds are available unless required by applicable law (or as required by Google or Apple for subscription purchases made through mobile app stores).
- Audience: Currently, Personal Plan is only available to learners in specific markets. We will continue to update instructors in the Teaching Center and Community as we offer the Personal Plan to new audiences.
- Content: The Personal Plan subscription includes courses taught in English. Depending on a learner’s location, a localized, course collection may be available to them.

What are the requirements to participate in Personal Plan as an instructor? And what are the qualifications for a course to be added to the Personal Plan collection?
The terms of participation for Personal Plan are the same as they are for Udemy Business: instructors must opt into the Udemy Business program, they must have courses curated into the collection for their relevance and quality, and they must host included content exclusively on Udemy. Learn more about the terms of participation.
If my course is included in the Personal Plan collection, is it subject to exclusivity requirements?
Yes, as noted above, instructors must host included content exclusively on Udemy.
How often is content added or removed from Personal Plan?
Like the Udemy Business collection, the Personal Plan collection is refreshed over time to add promising new content and remove content that is underperforming or no longer meets quality standards. While the curation teams for both collections collaborate, there may be some differences between the collections at a given point in time. Generally speaking, content that is added or removed from the Udemy Business collection will eventually also be added to or removed from the Personal Plan collection.
