What Skillshare is
Skillshare is a paid online learning service centred on video classes, available through the web and iOS or Android apps. Its Individual Annual Membership costs $167.88 a year, billed annually, and includes unlimited class access, offline viewing, learning paths, certificates and badges. For organisations, Skillshare for Teams costs $159 a year per user, billed annually, for teams of 2+ users; that plan has no monthly option. The service has no free plan. Mobile apps support learning away from the web, while offline viewing is included with the individual annual membership. Certificates are available, and business plans provide a team option. Skillshare is made by Skillshare, headquartered in New York City, New York, United States. Because the listed course format is video, the service focuses on watching lessons rather than mixed-format course delivery.
