What can I access on Pluralsight Skills as a free trial member?
There are two individual trials available: Standard and Premium.
On our Standard trial, you can watch Skills video courses, create channels, earn certificates of completion, and take Skill IQ assessments.
On the Premium trial, you can watch Skills video courses, take interactive courses, and complete projects. You can prepare for certifications with CyberVista practice exams. You can create channels, earn certificates of completion, and take Skill IQ assessments.
Note: Course downloads and offline viewing on desktop and mobile apps are only available to paid subscribers. Once you purchase a subscription, you'll be able to download video courses to watch them offline.
What info do I need to provide to start an individual trial?
Our system requires an email address, your first and last name, and your country of residence to create your account and free trial. This ensures we can communicate with you about your account.
You must also enter your credit card, debit card, or PayPal information to start an individual trial—but we won’t charge you before your free trial ends. We'll send you an email reminder one day before your free trial ends and you're billed for your subscription for the first time.
When will I be charged for my subscription?
Your individual trial converts to a paid subscription on the 11th calendar day from when you signed up. For example, if you started your free trial on May 5th, you would be charged on May 15th. Our subscription system does not bill at midnight—instead, you'll be billed at some point during the day.
If you don't want your trial to convert to a paid subscription, be sure to cancel before your trial expires. View your trial status from the Subscription & Billing tab on your Account page (opens in new tab).
Note: We do not offer refunds for Skills subscriptions.
If you don't cancel your trial subscription, the system automatically bills you for the monthly or yearly subscription you chose when you started the trial. The date that your trial upgrades to a paid subscription is the date that your subscription will renew each month.
