MasterClass is one of the internet’s favorite ways to learn a new skill, with courses on everything from music to acting to cooking. The best part? Every course is taught by an expert in the field, and many are also A-list celebrities.
MasterClass is normally a very good deal, with a $15-a-month subscription getting you access to every course on the site. However, you can save 50% on almost every MasterClass plan right now, as part of the site’s Father’s Day promotion. From now until June 15, you can score a MasterClass Plus plan starting at just $8 per month (billed annually). That’s a total of $84 in savings — if you hurry.
The Father’s Day promo also includes half off a MasterClass Premium plan, which normally costs $20 a month and allows six devices to be connected at once. But with the sale, new users can get it for only $10 a month. Split that up among friends or family members, and the monthly cost goes down to just $1.66 a month, per person. Sign up for the Premium Plan here.
A MasterClass subscription gets you access to the platform’s entire library of courses. There are more than 200 in total, including standouts like “Steve Martin Teaches Comedy,” “Margaret Atwood Teaches Creative Writing,” and “Paul Krugman Teaches Economics and Society.”
What Are the Best MasterClass Deals? Pricing, Discounts
MasterClass occasionally holds sales, but right now the site is offering 50% off its Plus and Premium packages, which is the best MasterClass deal we’ve seen in months. The MasterClass Father’s Day promo ends on June 15.
Another way to save on your plan? One hack is to share your account with friends or family. The base plan allows one user at a time and costs $5 a month at the time of this writing (17% off the normal $6/month price). The Plus plan is currently $8/month (was $15) and can be split between two users. The Premium plan is $10/month (was $20), but allows for six users at a time, making it the best deal, per person.
How Does MasterClass Work?
The site has over 200 courses (and counting) with lessons taught in over a dozen categories, ranging from writing and music to business and branding. Luminaries who have taught lessons include Garry Kasparov teaching chess, Samuel L. Jackson teaching acting, and David Lynch teaching creativity and filmmaking.
Designed for beginners, MasterClass courses center on video lectures that are broken up into short, digestible blocks to watch on your own time. These lectures can be streamed on your phone, laptop, tablet, or streaming device, making it easy to get a lesson in whenever you can (say, on your lunch break or while traveling).
In addition to the video lectures, MasterClass courses also typically have a workbook and community interaction aspects that let you practice skills learned and share work with other students.
MasterClass also launched “Sessions” — a more intensive type of course that lasts 30 days, starts on a set date, and involves more hands-on work and feedback from peers. Sessions lessons have included video production with Marques Brownlee, negotiation with Chris Voss, and photography with Petra Collins.
