Our opinion
ToggleDomestikaIn our view, Domestika is a great online learning platform for creative skills. What stands out is that they produce all of their courses in-house, which makes for a consistently high production quality, while being offered at very reasonable prices. Additionally, most of their courses come with subtitles and closed captions in a variety of languages. That said, the original language for a lot of their courses is Spanish, which means that the offering for English speakers is a bit limited, and you'll often have courses that only have closed captions in English. Overall, the quality of the courses on Domestika is great, and we can fully recommend it to Spanish speakers, as well as students that are fine with some of the courses only having English subtitles.
MavenWith their approach of cohort-based courses, Maven is trying to shake up the digital education market. We like that they back their approach on research about effective learning, trying to create a learning experience that produces the best outcomes for students. Their courses are also typically taught by experienced practitioners, ensuring a high course quality. Overall, we recommend Maven for professionals that want to step up their game on a specific topic, if budget isn't the biggest concern. On Maven, you pay a little bit extra for the convenience of direct access to your instructors and a more effective, cohort-based experience. Students with limited budget might be better off going with other platforms.
