This online courses are intended for personal development rather than pogi points in your resume.
Courses from well known institution or training centers may add weight on your resume.
Certification and degrees are more credible qualifications that you cna put in your resume.
Personal opinion: I don't think it is a good idea to put online courses on resume as it will make it to difficult or complicated to read. Just put what related skills / courses that are relevant to the job.

Register while free (limited time)
- I am not connected with Udemy
Personal experience:
- i learned some few more tips and ticks about excel
- sometimes speaker is difficult to understand (accent) . It's free no complain about that.
- good to up skill specially companies now a days doesn't provide external training. Most provide online or in-house seminars/training.
This are short online courses for self development and not to impress in resume.
