While you cannot deny that Skillshare has more courses then Oxbridge, they are both great learning services in their own right.

Oxbridge: Dedicated tutors are the stand-out feature of Oxbridge, which means you always get personalized help and answers to any questions you have Skillshare: One subscription fee gives you access to one of the largest online learning course libraries, with a range of subjects at your fingertips.

Oxbridge does not let just anyone teach their courses, but instead have a strict policy to only allow the best teachers to create one of their courses. Skillshare is a learning platform that will allow any expert on a subject to create their own courses, as long as they pass a basic screening process. Oxbridge has better consistency and higher quality courses in general compared to Skillshare because Oxbridge has fewer course creators who were screened heavily, while Skillshare allows anyone to create courses.

Course Quality Review

In my opinion, while both services offer high quality courses, the victor has to be Oxbridge because they consistently have higher quality courses when compared to Skillshare. Undoubtedly the fact that Oxbridge has heavily screened and vetted course creators, while Skillshare allows anyone to make their own courses has a lot to do with the difference in quality.

Course Selection Review

Skillshare has more courses than Oxbridge. Skillshare has more courses because they let anyone create a course, while Oxbridge has fewer courses because they strictly vet their course authors.

Learning Platform Review

When I talk about platforms, I am talking about the ways that the site teaches you, like video tutorials, interactive projects and hands-on testing, as well as awarding certificates. I really like the Skillshare platform, but not as much as the learning experience provided by Oxbridge. I do think both platforms are great ways to learn, but I found Oxbridge better suited towards teaching me effectively.

User Experience Review

When we review the platform, we are looking at the learning angles of the experience, but for the User Experience Review we look at everything else, including the sign-up process, the wait-times, the quality of courses, support, emails, billing and more. While Skillshare is a great experience from an end-user prospective Oxbridge has the superior user experience overall. We recommend both services, but feel like Oxbridge has the edge in this category.

Final Thoughts

In the battle between Oxbridge VS Skillshare, it is tough to choose a winner.

Oxbridge is our recommendation, largely due to their focus on providing courses that are supplemented by tutors who answer your questions and help insure a high pass-rate for their students, but for some Skillshare is still a better fit.
