Our story
Great skills, without the great big price tag
Skillademia exists to make world-class creative, AI and coding skills affordable for everyone - in-depth courses for the price of a couple of coffees, plus free tools and free courses to get you started.
Why we started
Learning a new skill shouldn't cost a fortune
Somewhere along the way, learning online got strange. The best courses ended up locked behind $200 price tags, or endless subscriptions that quietly drained your card every month. We thought that was backwards.
A great course should cost a few bucks and be yours for life - so you can actually afford to learn the thing you're curious about, then the next thing, and the next. So we built Skillademia: deep, project-based courses taught by people who do this work every day, priced from $10 to $19, with no subscription and lifetime access. Buy just the course you want. Keep it forever.
And we didn't stop at courses. We're building a growing library of genuinely useful free tools - shortcut references, cheat sheets, calculators and generators - plus free beginner courses, because the best way to fall in love with a craft is to start making things today, for free.
What we stand for
The principles behind everything we build
Fair prices, always
Courses from $10 to $19. No subscriptions, no upsells, no surprises. Pay once and it's yours for life.
Free is a real product
Our free tools and free courses aren't teasers. They're genuinely useful on their own - no watermark, no catch.
Support for everyone
Fast, friendly help on every plan, free included. Great support is a right, not a premium add-on.
Learn by doing
Every course is built around real projects you can put straight into your portfolio.
Made by makers
Taught by designers, developers and creators who actually ship the work they teach.
Quality over hype
In-depth, up to date and honest. We'd rather teach you well than sell you hard.

Jacob Laukaitis
Founder
I started Skillademia with a simple belief: learning a real skill should be within reach for anyone, anywhere. So we build in-depth courses that cost a few bucks, not a few hundred, plus genuinely useful free tools and courses. Over 324,784 people have learned with us so far, and we're just getting started.

I make sure our courses are planned, produced and delivered smoothly, working closely with instructors and editors to create learning that's engaging and accessible worldwide. Outside work: photography, dancing, snowboarding and exploring new places.
