Domestika is a creative course marketplace known for its craft, illustration and design classes taught by working creative professionals. Its Plus subscription opens the full catalog of 3,900+ courses across illustration, craft, marketing and business, photography and video, design, 3D and animation, architecture, fashion, writing, calligraphy, music and audio, and culinary topics. Every finished course comes with a certificate, and Plus members receive 12 annual credits to redeem for courses they keep forever, which is unusual among subscriptions. Courses are offered in 6 languages with subtitles in up to 11. Watch the renewal terms: Domestika runs first-year discounts and says the renewal price after one year is the full amount. Like Skillshare, it is a poor fit for technical or academic skills, and its certificates are completion records rather than credentials. The plan page showed local currency from our location, so the USD price is pending.
