Find and join a course

You can join a course from its course page, or find one inside the learner app. Joining takes a minute; a paid course takes you through a secure checkout.

Before you start

  • You need a learner account. If you are not signed in when you join, you are sent to sign in or create one first, then brought back to the same course page.
  • Prices are set by each creator. See pricing for Yoshuko's own plans.

Join a course from its course page

Every published course has its own page, which a creator can share with you. It shows what the course covers, how many lessons it has, and a Lessons section listing every lesson, unit by unit.

Course landing page screen

  1. Read the page. If there is a What you'll learn section, it lists the outcomes.
  2. If you see Free preview, press it to try a free lesson before you decide.

  3. Press the main button:

    • Enrol free on a free course. You are enrolled at once and taken to the learner app.
    • Get access — price on a paid course. You go to a secure checkout page to pay.
