FutureLearn Lowers The Prices Of Thousands Of Short Course Upgrades

FutureLearn, a leader in online learning, has announced price reductions on thousands of online courses. Learners will now be able to get up to 50% off individual short course upgrades. This price change will come into effect from 4 November 2024. 

By lowering the price of short course upgrades, learners will now be able to unlock full access to courses across business, healthcare, teaching, tech, psychology, sustainability, politics and more, for much less. 

From 4 November onwards:

• All 1-3 week courses will be priced at £39 (they were previously £65 or £79).
• Courses running for 4 weeks or more will be priced at either £59 or £79 (they were previously £75 or £99).

These new price reductions will see FutureLearn strengthen its commitment to supporting and accelerating professional development through accessible and flexible online learning. With all-new lower pricing for thousands of short courses (including CPD-accredited courses) from leading universities, institutions and brands, the expert-led course content will now be more accessible to learners around the world. 

To get the full range of benefits, learners will simply need to buy an individual course, where they’ll then have full access to all course content. They’ll also be able to study flexibly at their own pace, learn from industry leaders, master in-demand specialist skills and earn a certificate upon completion, giving them the leverage to meet their goals and advance their careers. 

”Our commitment to our learners has always been to transform the ways they access and approach learning”, says Ian Howell, Managing Director at FutureLearn. “We’re keeping that promise by lowering thousands of short course prices. We’ll continue to offer high-quality content and world-class education from the top universities and brands, only now, learners will benefit from more affordable and competitive pricing. No compromise on quality, only great value for money.

As one of the leading online learning platforms, we’re proud of our learner community and the trust they have in our courses (see our Trustpilot score and industry-leading completion rates). Keeping that in mind, we’re doing what we can to make it easier to buy individual short courses, giving more learners the opportunity to unlock expert content, learn the skills they need and future-proof their careers.”
