Unlock the Future of Learning: Discover the 17 Online Course Platforms Set to Dominate 2025
What’s the average online course completion rate?
Average completion rates can vary substantially from one course to the next—but they don’t tend to be very high.
Across the board, average online course completion rates hover around 15%, which means the vast majority of your students will drop out before completing the whole course. In fact, on Udemy, the average student completes just 30% of the course.
There are some things you can do to improve your course completion rates. One tactic you can try is to add gamification to your course by offering rewards when students reach certain milestones. This incentivizes them to keep going.
