MOOC platform FutureLearn have today launched a brand new product called ‘ExpertTrack’, a subscription-based service providing learners with on-demand access to career-boosting skills. There are 35 ExpertTracks open for enrollment now, covering a wide range of job-relevant subject areas from Fintech to Cyber Security, Data Analysis, Social Media Marketing, Psychology, Project Management, Entrepreneurship, Leadership and more. FutureLearn's ExpertTracks are created in partnership with world class higher education and industry partners including the University of Michigan, Coventry University, the University of Leeds, STEM Learning, AllBright, Monash University, Tableau, Salesforce and Xero.

ExpertTracks are available on demand and have been designed to fit the needs of learners of all backgrounds and experience levels, meaning they can dive deeper into a subject and learn new skills around their busy lives. Consisting of three or more short courses, ExpertTracks are automated and peer assessed, and learners can earn valuable employer relevant certificates as they progress through their chosen pathways, helping them stand out across CV, interview and internal progression discussions.

Learners are able to access ExpertTracks via a flexible subscription model that costs GBP £36 per month (EUR €36, USD $39, AUD $59) per ExpertTrack, with payment cancelling automatically on completion of the materials. Learners will also have the opportunity to try each ExpertTrack via a 7 day free trial, before purchasing a subscription.
