Abstract: Every year millions of people choose online platform courses to acquire qualitative and practical knowledge. This research aims to portray the effort of online platforms in providing competitive education. Among the advantages of online courses, we can mention the speed, flexibility,financial accessibility, the varied portfolio of available topics, the modern approach, and the regularly updated information. During the difficult situation caused by covid-19 in 2020, online platforms became the trustful support for students around the globe. The courses have suffered countless improvements to contribute to the economic recovery after the pandemic, providing efficient business ideas, cyber knowledge, technological preparation, and various language courses. The mission of Coursera is making the knowledge of some of the world’s leading experts available to anyone. The courses resulting from the collaboration between the top universities and the business community have won the appreciation of thousands of people with modest incomes, who otherwise could not benefit from a quality education that would allow them to acquire the knowledge necessary to get a better job. Categories such as Design, Business, Marketing, IT and Software successfully combine innovation in learning and teaching. Udemy, over the years, managed to successfully combine being a business and educate people. The success of online courses among the population of the United States of America is greater than anywhere else, but in 2020 Europeans activity on the Coursera and Udemy platformshas increased significantly.
