Coursera Bulgaria
Company overview
Coursera was founded in 2012 by Stanford Computer Science Professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller with the mission to provide access to world-class training for everyone. Today, it is one of the largest online learning platforms in the world, with over 87 million registered learners as of June 2021. Coursera works with over 200 leading universities and education sector partners to provide a broad catalog of content and educational credentials, including Guided Projects, courses, specializations, certificates, undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Our team in Bulgaria works specifically on Guided Projects. This is a unique Coursera platform that represents a new step in the development of online learning. With it, learners get an experience after which they can immediately apply the skills they have acquired. With specific step-by-step guidance and a virtual workspace in the cloud, learners acquire and practice skills for specific jobs in just a few hours.
