Our verdict
GoSkills is a subscription platform for learners who want a single payment across coding, data and it, with assessments and CPD credit built in. The subscription costs €29 a month or €180 a year, and the 7 day trial keeps the entry risk small.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Assessments are included, so course work is checked rather than left to the learner to self police.
- A single subscription covering coding, data and it removes the per-course bill, and the annual rate of €180 costs less than the monthly rate of €29 carried across a year.
- The free tier plus a 7 day trial and a 14 day money-back window mean three chances to judge the catalogue before committing.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, adding a phone line and a help centre to the usual email route.
- A team plan is offered, which suits organisations buying seats for several learners at once.
Cons
- Hotmart lists a starting price of $0, so learners with no budget at all are served better there than at the GoSkills entry of €15.
- The 7 day trial is shorter than the site median of 10 days, which leaves less room to judge the catalogue before paying.
- Certificates are limited to professional certificates with cpd credit recognition, so anyone chasing a different awarding route has fewer options here.
- The 14 day money-back window is short next to the site maximum of 360 days, and it sits on top of an ongoing subscription.
Who it suits
- Learners who want one bill covering coding, data and it instead of paying course by course.
- People who need assessed course work and cpd credit added to a professional record.
- Organisations training several people, since a team plan is offered.
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners starting with no budget at all: Hotmart lists a starting price of $0.
- Buyers who want a single named certification and nothing else: DRCertifications starts at $19.99 for its certification track.
- People who prefer a specialist membership in a single field: Academy for Health and Fitness lists a starting price of £25.
Pricing
GoSkills lists an entry price of €15 alongside the subscription rates that carry on after sign-up: €29 a month or €180 a year. Readers budgeting at renewal should work from the monthly or annual figure rather than the entry number, since the two sit at different levels. Paying for the year up front costs less than the monthly rate extended across a full year, which makes the annual option the sensible route for anyone studying continuously. The monthly rate is the higher of the two running costs, so holding the annual figure in mind keeps later renewals simple to plan.
What it does well
Assessments form part of a GoSkills course rather than an optional extra, so learners are checked on progress while they work. A team plan is offered, which suits organisations buying seats for several people at once instead of separate individual subscriptions. The free tier means the catalogue opens before any payment, and the trial that follows runs 7 days. Paid subscriptions sit under a 14 day money-back period, so a course that does not fit has a short route back. Together these details make GoSkills read more like an assessed training provider than a video library.
Free plan and trial
There is a free tier, so the GoSkills catalogue opens before a subscription is bought. The trial attached to a paid plan runs 7 days, and a paid subscription is covered by a 14 day money-back period. Those windows stack: a learner can browse, try a course, then exit with a refund if the material is the wrong fit. The free tier is the standing option, while the trial and the refund period are both time limits that end.

Frequently asked questions
What does GoSkills cost at the start and at renewal?+
GoSkills quotes an entry price of €15. The subscription that carries on after sign-up runs €29 a month or €180 a year, and those are the figures to budget around once the opening payment is made. Paying for the year up front costs less than the monthly rate extended across a full year.
Which subjects does a GoSkills subscription cover?+
The catalogue spans coding, data and it. Because GoSkills sells a subscription rather than individual courses, access to every listed subject sits under one payment, which suits learners who move between coding, data and business work over the same period.
Is there a free tier, and how long is the free trial?+
There is a free tier, so the catalogue opens before paying. The trial on a paid plan runs 7 days, enough to sample several courses but short of the longer trials some platforms offer. The free tier is the standing option; the trial is time limited.
Is there a money-back period if I cancel?+
Paid subscriptions carry a 14 day money-back period, which matches the site median of 14 days. Anyone weighing the annual rate of €180 against that window can decide how much risk sits in an early exit.
What certificate do I get, and is the credit recognised?+
GoSkills issues professional certificates, and assessments form part of the course rather than an optional extra. Credit recognition covers cpd. Learners who need a different awarding route will find the certificate scope here narrower than the choice of courses.
Can my employer buy a team plan?+
A team plan is offered, so organisations can buy seats for several learners rather than paying separately per person. That suits small teams training together on the same subscription terms, while individual subscriptions remain the route for anyone buying alone.
How do I get help when a course is stuck?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which puts a phone line and a help centre alongside email. On a subscription platform, that mix covers both quick questions and deeper course issues without a separate support charge being added to the rate.
How does GoSkills compare with cheaper entry points?+
Hotmart lists a starting price of $0, so it wins on the opening payment. DRCertifications starts at $19.99 for a certification track, and Academy for Health and Fitness starts at £25 for a specialist membership. GoSkills charges €15 to enter, then opens coding, data and it under one subscription.
