This article details the Udemy Business Federal Collections, developed in response to the Executive Order on Government DEI Programs and Preferencing issued on January 20, 2025.
- Udemy Business Federal Collection — English Only: This version includes courses that are solely in English.
- Udemy Business Federal Collection — Multi-Language: This version offers courses in a variety of languages, including Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Vietnamese. It is designed to support non-English speakers by providing access to a wide range of courses in their preferred language.
Customers who have consumed both English and multiple languages will receive access to both the "English Only" and "Multi-Language" versions of the Udemy Business Federal Collection.
We recommend reviewing these updates to ensure the remaining courses align with your organization’s interpretation of the Executive Order.
Effective February 12, 2025, all federal customers in the United States will be automatically moved to the new Udemy Business Federal Collection(s).

In order to add DEI related content back into your content library, Udemy will require a formal written request. Please use the following template:
"Notwithstanding the terms of the applicable DEI executive order, [CUSTOMER] is directing Udemy to re-add DEI and related content to their content library effective INSERT DATE."
Will this Executive Order impact the primary Udemy Business Collections?
No. We believe the Executive Order restricts DEI programs to those in the US federal government, and the Udemy Business Federal Collections exclude all courses we have identified to include DEI content.
The remaining courses should not present an issue. However, since your organization’s interpretation of the Executive Order may differ, we recommend reviewing the Udemy Business Federal Collections with your advisor to ensure no concerns with the remaining courses.
What if I want to remove additional courses in response to the Executive Order?
If you want to remove additional courses, please submit a support request via this form.

How will the collections be maintained?
We will update the Udemy Business Federal Collections monthly to align with our primary course offerings. This approach ensures that federal customers have access to up-to-date content while allowing us to carefully manage any necessary adjustments in response to the Executive Order.
