Taking a course or getting a new certification can be daunting, but online learning platforms can help make the process less intimidating. Coursera is one of our favorites, offering some of the best learning opportunities from leading companies and universities. If you're considering signing up, now's the perfect time, thanks to Coursera's Cyber Monday deal.
In honor of Cyber Monday, Coursera is taking 40% off the first year of a Coursera Plus subscription, which brings the price down $160. While this isn't the best Coursera deal we've ever seen, we rarely see the annual subscription price discounted by more than 40%, so you can rest assured you're getting a great price.

FAQs
When does Coursera's Cyber Monday deal end?
Coursera's Cyber Monday sale went live in early November and is scheduled to run through the end of Cyber Monday on December 1 at 11:59 p.m. UTC, so time is running out to save.
Can current Coursera Plus subscribers get the Cyber Monday discount?
Unfortunately, Coursera's Cyber Monday offer is only available to new Coursera Plus subscribers, which means current customers are not eligible for the discount.
Is there a free version of Coursera?
It doesn't cost anything to create a basic Coursera account, and select courses are available for free. That said, any courses that offer a certificate or degree upon completion will have a separate enrollment fee, which varies by the specific course. The benefit of signing up for Coursera Plus is that you gain unlimited access to these courses without incurring additional enrollment fees, which can add up quickly otherwise.
