Udemy courses make great gifts for friends, family and colleagues, and are easy to send. If you think a course you’re currently enrolled in would make for a terrific gift, you can quickly buy a second copy of the course and send it to the recipient. You can also purchase any course that you’re not enrolled in as a gift, by using the gift feature that’s on the course landing page.
This article outlines how you can send courses as gifts, and how you can redeem your gift if you’ve received one, and start your Udemy course.
