Dear Student ,

Udemy is a online learning platform where you can choose any paid course to gain a certificate in your preferred domain based on the availability of the subject in that platform. This platform doesn't give you any degree or Diploma but only a certification course based on your interest . With a regular course , you can opt this learning.

On the other hand Diploma course can be done through regular as well as distance (in Psychology)

You can check some of the popular Open University to search the availability of the subject as diploma course like

• IGNOU
• TNOU
• Uttarakhand National Open University etc.

Hope this answer helps !

Dear candidate one thing is true that the online certified courses offered by recognised online website like Udemy, Coursera are really good but it is a short term certified course, whereas your Diploma in Psychology is a degree, which you can add as your educational qualification in your curriculum vitae but the online course can be added under professional exposure not under educational qualification. So they are not equivalent in that respect, the diploma course gives better practical knowledge too,

Hope it helps!!!
