Choose from a variety of Freelance Career Paths to discover the best fit for you!
When we started freelancing online in 2003, there was virtually no support or training for those wanting to freelance. We had to figure everything out and learn the hard way. It was tough, but we got there in the end.
It’s our desire that you have the freedom to create your own business, define your work-life balance, and pursue a career path that fits your current stage of life perfectly.
That’s why we decided to launch Freelance University back in 2008 to provide a one-stop learning community. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of training over 25,000 students in more than 75+ countries.
Over the years, we have enjoyed the great freedom and flexibility of working from anywhere through many changes and seasons of life.
We would love to support you as you embark on your own freelance journey, so hope to see you soon!
Many online courses for freelancers cost up to $1,500 and those courses only teach ONE skill. And often there is no mentorship and community. So, you’re left on your own to figure things out.
Even if you skip the expensive courses and you just bought all the training you need from a course marketplace instead, at $10-$20 per course it adds up. It would still cost at least $800-$1000. That’s at a minimum.
And you may not have access to expert mentorship, a supportive community, and ongoing education like with Freelance University.
That’s why we’re not asking for $1,500 or even $1000 to enroll in Freelance University.
We’re giving you everything you need to start freelancing for one low monthly, quarterly or annual tuition plan.
We are absolutely confident that your enrollment at Freelance University will be an immensely valuable step forward for you, and will help you build a rewarding and profitable freelance business this year!
Still, we want to be absolutely sure it is the right fit for you. So take 15 days to check out and evaluate the University. If for some reason, you decide the University is not right for you, then please contact our team at [email protected] and we will cancel your enrollment plan and refund your tuition right away.

Yes, we provide a clear pathway to get started, an outline of freelance career options and niches, and a breakdown of numerous learning pathways.
Our Certification training programs have approximately 4-6 hours of video training, so the time it takes you to work through the material varies depending on how comfortable you are with the material. Our Courses have approximately 2-4 hours of video training. We also offer other events that run between 60 min–2 hours in length.
Now, the above is based on the average (like us) person, so you may be much faster!
We currently have 80+ training programs within the University across 7 key freelance tracks. The University also offers many other resources to support your training. Each year we add new courses or update existing courses, so the number is always growing which means your skills and experience is always growing!
We offer a private learning community for students of the University only. This serves as a support base for questions or comments surrounding each training program. You will receive assistance from our amazing FreeU Mentor Team (Craig & Kelly are actively involved) as well as fellow students within the University. Our community is truly second to none, but we highly recommend checking it out so you can see for yourself. We strongly believe, you should NEVER freelance alone!
Very simple…an Internet connection is all that is required to begin your training at Freelance University. There are different apps that may be necessary to download during the training, but we always direct students to the free downloads. We love FREE!
There doesn’t have to be if you don’t want one. By choosing any of our enrollment options, you will receive full access to the University as long as you want. This access will remain uninterrupted through Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual automatic billing. Join us and we will ensure all of your education and training needs are met throughout the year. There are enough time limits in our lives; we don’t need another one!
Yes, to avoid any interruption in your training, your credit card will be automatically billed either on a Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual basis depending on which enrollment plan you choose. If you choose the Quarterly or Annual plan, we will contact you 10 days prior to your renewal to give you a heads up that the charge will be processing soon in case you wish to make any changes.
Yes, Freelance University provides a monthly newsletter called The Learning Curve. As an enrollee at Freelance University, you will automatically receive this in your inbox every month.

We do not accept payment by cheque, money order, or debit at this time.
Yes, if you initially choose our Monthly or Quarterly Plan, but then decide you would like to upgrade to our Annual Plan to take advantage of the savings, send us a quick email to [email protected]…we will take care of it for you so you can continue training while putting some savings back in your pocket!
We are confident you will love us here at FreeU, but if for some reason, you are not 100% satisfied, we do provide a 15-day money back guarantee after you enroll in any of our enrollment plans.
Simply contact Support and we will cancel your future payments with us and refund your initial payment (no questions asked).
BUT, we are confident our relationship will be much longer than 15 days, so we look forward to growing our relationship over the next year!
**We do not provide any refunds outside of our 15-day money back guarantee period.
We do not require you to re-certify every year; however, we do encourage all students to refresh their skills. Therefore, when we launch a new or updated training course, we encourage you to take the new program. This will allow you to keep your skills current.
This industry changes so quickly, so start running and keep up with us!
Freelance University is a training center. We provide skill-based training to help you freelance and keep your skills current and up-to-date.
