Edukatico Alternative: How to Find Your Course
You wanted to search for a course on Edukatico and ended up on an error page? You are not alone. Edukatico has been shut down.
I'm Tim and I run Kurslotse. On this page I show you where to find the right course now. No endless searching required.
Counted live from my catalog. Every course has its own page with price, duration and certificate.
What was Edukatico?
Edukatico was a search portal for online courses. By its own account it listed more than 8,000 online courses, MOOCs and online lectures from 22 subject areas. More than 5,000 of them were said to end with a certificate.
With the free course manager you could create watch lists and a learning planner. According to Edukatico, Stiftung Warentest gave it top marks for search and usability in 2017.
Honestly, I think it's a shame the portal is gone. If you were looking for an online lecture or a MOOC, it was a good place to go. My focus is a little different.
What Kurslotse does differently
I focus on German-language continuing education for your job. That means courses with an IHK certificate, a university certificate or funding through the German education voucher (Bildungsgutschein).
For every course you see price, duration, certificate and funding at a glance. You can filter the list by exactly those points. Only want funded courses? Tick that box and you're done.
I maintain the catalog myself. I regularly check prices and links against the providers' websites. Courses that no longer exist get removed. For 14 learning apps you also get my own test verdict.
Where to find what now
Use Kurslotse if you …
- are looking for a German-language course for your job
- want to learn with funding from a Bildungsgutschein
- want to compare price, duration and certificate directly
- would rather ask an AI than click through filters
Go straight to the platform if you …
- are looking for a specific MOOC on Coursera or edX
- want to take a university's online lecture
- already know which course you want
I have written my own reviews of the big learning platforms. You can read how good Coursera really is in my Coursera review. All platforms side by side are in my platform comparison.
Information on Edukatico is based on its former self-description on edukatico.org. Kurslotse and Edukatico were never connected.

Frequently asked questions about the Edukatico alternative
Does Edukatico still exist?
No. Edukatico has been shut down. Since October 2026, edukatico.org only shows an error message.
What is a good alternative to Edukatico?
That depends on what you are looking for. For German-language courses with a certificate or Bildungsgutschein funding, Kurslotse lists 670 courses. For pure MOOCs, your best bet is to go straight to Coursera or edX.
Is Kurslotse part of Edukatico?
No. Kurslotse is my own project and never had anything to do with Edukatico.
Does the course search on Kurslotse cost anything?
No, searching and comparing are free for you. You only pay for the course you book directly with the provider.
How does Kurslotse make money?
Some links lead to partner offers. I mark these affiliate links with an asterisk. If you book through one, I may receive a commission.
Can I find free courses on Kurslotse too?
Yes. Under "Free online courses" I collect 95 free offers. They range from MOOCs to course recordings.
Can I search for funded courses only?
Yes. The Bildungsgutschein category contains 198 courses. In every other course list, the "Funding" filter helps you out.
