User Testimonials
edX for BusinessUpGrad
Likelihood to Recommend
I certainly reccomend edX for Business to support learning projects that demand specific knowledge contents. These online courses are complete and engaging, and they can be used to support different learning needs inside a company. It is flexible because anyone can complete it on its own pace and using different devices. I believe it is appropriate to big companies, because pricing may be an issue in some countries (it is expensive in Brazil).

  5. Their video player needs a lot of improvement. It keeps on buffering a lot and use a lot of data. Some additional features could be provided like fast-forwarding videos by 5 or 10 seconds

Alternatives Considered
With the exception of graded assignments and certification, edx has validated certificated courses that are credible in the market. It also offers a free course audit option. The best reason to try edx is probably their 14-day return policy; with all these beneficial points, edx is acing the learning market at this moment.
