You really don't need to pay a dime to learn Blender. There are so many tutorials out there on just about everything it's insane.
Yes but the free classes don’t have as much structure or often don’t come with supplemental learning materials like say assets or finished project files. Some classes come with active support from the teacher who will answer your questions if you are stick on a particular section. The comments on a YouTube video aren’t always as helpful.
YouTube is great for learning specific features and techniques, but I think taking one of the bigger classes is a great starting point for a complete beginner who is ready to do more than just the donut tutorial.
