Blocked in Syria. The team has pressed Udemy for a review since February 2026, and the company has repeatedly declined, saying in August that its technology, payment and content partners still prohibit Syria operations.

Declined

Udemy replied with its standard message: aware of the sanctions changes, but restrictions and account suspensions for Syria continue.
