Customer Reviews

I mistakenly signed up for a trial

I mistakenly signed up for a trial subscription that I thought was free. It expired and Coursera charged a credit card that was on my account that I was not aware of. I noticed the charge right away and contacted them to request a refund.

Consumer fraud is Coursera's business model

Coursera debited my bank account for 17 months after I canceled my subscription. I tried to contact Coursera with their contact form five times, but Coursera closed all five of my inquiries without a response.

Terrible experience with this platform

Terrible experience with this platform. Their customer service is trash. They are unhelpful and not understanding. Do not waste your time with this company.

Very disappointed in the customer service

Very disappointed in the customer service. I was interested in what the courses offered, signed up for a trial and then decieded to cancel. I cancel the trial and then because I had enrolled in a course they charged me for the course seperatly.

Be careful with Coursera subscriptions.

I signed up for what I thought was a free trial, but was charged for a subscription without the billing terms and strict no-refund policy being clearly presented in a meaningful way.

CAUTION

I’ve been using this platform for over five years, but recently experienced a disappointing turn. They now promote a “free first month” coursera plus subscription, yet still charge you for that same month.

Confusing pricing

Issue 1: Coursera is not clear on pricing when you land 1st on a Specialization page. It doesn't clearly state that you do not have access to all content. It's confusing when you are paying a larg...

CAUTION! THIEVES OPERATE IN THIS AREA

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Coursera that I feel others should be aware of before signing up. I enrolled in a course using their 7-day free trial, only to cancel it the very same day after deciding it wasn’t for me. Despite this, I was unexpectedly charged a week later.

Many courses are outdated

Many courses are outdated and no longer relevant. I was looking for an Azure AZ-104 prep course and got through the first module when the video finally stated it was recorded in 2022, 4 years ago...
