What FutureLearn changed

• Added "Professional Certificates" as a new category under the Online Certifications menu.
• Replaced "AWS Generative AI for Developers" with "Art and the Environment in Southeast Asia" in the featured section.
• Replaced "A Beginner’s Guide to Basic Cooking Skills" with "Master Facebook Marketing" in the featured section.
• Replaced "Teaching Teachers" with "Data for Executives" in the featured section.
• Replaced "Words Matter" with "LISTEN: Supporting emotional wellbeing in diabetes care" in the featured section.

FutureLearn is expanding its credential types to include professional certificates, likely to compete with other platforms offering job-ready qualifications. They also refreshed their featured courses to focus on niche topics like Southeast Asian art and executive data skills.

• Added a promotional banner offering 30% off the Unlimited Annual plan (reducing the price from $349.99 to $244.99).
• Replaced general marketing text with a massive directory of specific course topics across categories like Business, Healthcare, IT, and Teaching.
• Updated the navigation menu to include direct links to Online Degrees, Microcredentials, and Bootcamps.
• Removed the detailed comparison table between "Limited Access" and "Unlimited" plans from the main view.
• Added a search bar and a more granular "Subjects" mega-menu to the header.

The platform is aggressively pushing its "Unlimited" subscription model with a significant price drop. They have also overhauled their navigation to showcase a much wider variety of specific course topics, likely to improve search engine visibility and help users find niche subjects faster.

• The "FutureLearn for Business" links now point to a new subdomain: business.futurelearn.com.
• Several main site links were updated to remove the "www" prefix, simplifying the URL structure.
• Subscription and course links now point directly to the root domain instead of the www version.

FutureLearn is moving its B2B workplace learning hub (FLx) to a dedicated "business" subdomain. This suggests they are separating their corporate training identity from their consumer platform to better serve enterprise clients.
