In this context, the aim of this study is to conduct a quantitative conceptual analysis of a database of 603 Graphic Design courses of Udemy platform, which offers online courses in various subjects. A general description of the courses, their levels and other variables are approached from descriptive statistics. As a result, there was a predominance of tool-related courses and courses for all levels or beginners.
