Frequently asked questions
Cancel Skillshare: The Right Way in Nigeria
How to cancel Skillshare in nigeria and protect your money
Understanding Skillshare and why you might want to leave
Skillshare is an online learning platform that connects you with thousands of on-demand creative and professional classes across design, illustration, photography, business skills, and more. The platform operates on a freemium model-you access limited content free, or upgrade to premium membership to unlock offline viewing, class transcripts, and the entire class library.
Many Nigerians subscribe to Skillshare to upskill in creative fields or explore new hobbies. However, subscription costs add up quickly, especially when converted to naira. If you find yourself not using the platform, facing unexpected charges, or wanting to redirect your money elsewhere, cancelling is straightforward once you know the right steps. At Yafee, we help thousands of Nigerians take control of their subscriptions every month, ensuring you avoid accidental charges and retain access to your content during your paid period.
What Skillshare membership includes
Skillshare offers two membership tiers. Free membership grants limited class access with ads and community features. Premium membership-priced in naira and billed monthly or annually-unlocks unlimited class access, offline downloads, class transcripts, ad-free browsing, and the ability to earn revenue if you publish your own classes. Your paid membership renews automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Who should consider cancelling
You might want to cancel if you have completed your learning goals, lost interest in available content, prefer learning through other platforms, or want to reduce monthly expenses. Rising subscription costs, technical issues, or simply not using the service are all valid reasons. Yafee recommends reviewing your subscriptions regularly to ensure every payment aligns with your actual usage.
Skillshare pricing and plans in nigeria
Skillshare pricing varies depending on your subscription method and location, with costs fluctuating based on exchange rates and regional adjustments.
Current plans and pricing
| Plan | Price (approximate) | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free membership | ₦0 | Ongoing | Limited class access, ads, community features |
| Monthly premium | ₦1,500-₦2,500 per month | Monthly auto-renewal | Unlimited classes, offline viewing, transcripts, ad-free |
| Annual premium | ₦15,000-₦20,000 per year | Annual auto-renewal | All monthly features, better value over 12 months |
| Promotional trial | Free for 7-14 days, then full price | Trial then auto-renewal | Full premium access during trial, automatic conversion if not cancelled |
Why pricing matters to your cancellation decision
Many Nigerian subscribers sign up during promotional periods offering free or discounted trials. These trials automatically convert to full-price memberships if you do not cancel before the trial ends. Understanding your trial end date is critical to avoiding unexpected charges. Set a calendar reminder 48 hours before your trial expires so you can decide whether to cancel or continue. Check your exact renewal amount in your account settings before you take action.
Your consumer rights when cancelling in nigeria
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA), 2019, grants you specific rights when dealing with online services and subscription platforms.
Key protections under nigerian law
The FCCPA 2019 requires that online service providers disclose all material terms clearly before you pay, including auto-renewal terms, cancellation procedures, and refund policies. Section 133 of the FCCPA specifically addresses negative option billing (auto-renewal)-providers must obtain your explicit, informed consent before charging you, and you have the right to cancel at any time with minimal friction. Furthermore, the Act prohibits misleading or deceptive practices, meaning Skillshare cannot hide cancellation options or charge you without clear prior notice of your renewal date and amount.
Your legal position
Under the FCCPA 2019, you have the right to cancel your Skillshare subscription without penalty or additional charge, provided you act before your renewal date. The law requires Skillshare to process your cancellation request promptly-typically within 5 business days. If Skillshare refuses to cancel your account or continues charging you after you have cancelled, you may lodge a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Nigeria's enforcement authority. The FCCPC investigates violations and can order refunds or impose penalties on non-compliant providers.
How to cancel your Skillshare subscription
Skillshare allows you to cancel directly through your account settings on their website or mobile app, with no need to contact customer support unless you encounter technical issues.
Step 1: log in to your Skillshare account
- Open your web browser and visit the Skillshare website (skillshare.com).
- Click the login button and enter your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
- Log in successfully and wait for the home page to load.
Step 2: access your account settings
- Look for your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner of the page.
- Click the profile icon to open a dropdown menu.
- On mobile apps, this menu may appear as three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) or in the bottom navigation bar.
- Select "Account settings" or "Settings" from the menu options.
Step 3: navigate to your subscription or membership section
- In your account settings, look for a section labeled "Subscription," "Membership," "Billing," or "Plans."
- Click on that section to view your current subscription details.
- You will see your membership tier, renewal date, and billing amount here.
Step 4: locate the cancel subscription button
- Within the subscription section, find the button labeled "Cancel subscription," "Cancel membership," or "Downgrade to free."
- Click this button to begin the cancellation process.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation and choose your reason (optional)
- Skillshare will display a confirmation screen asking you to confirm that you want to cancel.
- Skillshare may ask you to select a reason for cancellation from a dropdown list-this is optional and does not affect your ability to cancel.
- Reasons might include "Too expensive," "Not using it enough," "Prefer another platform," or "Personal reasons."
- Review the cancellation details, including your final billing date and access end date.
- Click the final "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel subscription" button to complete the process.
Step 6: verify your cancellation
- Skillshare will display a confirmation message stating that your subscription has been cancelled.
- You will receive a confirmation email at the address associated with your account within a few minutes.
- Save this email for your records as proof of cancellation.
- Return to your account settings after 24 hours to confirm that your membership tier now shows as "Free" instead of "Premium."
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not immediately end your access; instead, you retain full premium access until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, your account automatically downgrades to the free tier, and you lose offline viewing, class transcripts, and priority support-but you keep your free account and any classes you have downloaded remain on your device.
Accessing your content after cancellation
Download any classes you want to keep before your premium access expires. Once you downgrade to free, you lose offline access unless you have already downloaded the content. Yafee recommends exporting any certificates, notes, or project files to your device or cloud storage to preserve your learning records.
Resubscribing to Skillshare
You can resubscribe at any time after cancellation. Skillshare often offers promotional pricing to returning users, so check for discounts when you log back in. Your learning history, bookmarks, and watch progress are typically preserved even after cancellation, though this depends on your account age and Skillshare's data retention policies.
Refunds and what to expect
Skillshare's refund policy depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle.
Refund eligibility under nigerian law
Under the FCCPA 2019, you have the right to request a refund if you cancel during a free trial period before any charge is applied. If you cancel after being charged but before accessing a significant portion of the service, you may be entitled to a partial refund. Skillshare's stated policy typically does not offer refunds for partial months; however, if Skillshare charged you without proper consent or failed to honour its cancellation terms, the FCCPC can compel a refund. In accordance with the FCCPA, you must submit any refund claim within 30 days of the disputed charge.
How to request a refund
- If you believe you are entitled to a refund, contact Skillshare's customer support team through their website contact form or email (support details available on their help centre).
- Provide your account email, invoice number (if available), the date of the charge you dispute, and a clear explanation of why you believe you qualify for a refund.
- Example: "I was charged on 15 November 2024 for a trial that was supposed to be free. I cancelled immediately after being charged without using the service."
- Skillshare will respond within 5-10 business days with a decision.
- If Skillshare denies your refund claim and you believe the denial violates the FCCPA 2019, escalate your complaint to the FCCPC with copies of all correspondence.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation need not be stressful if you know what to watch for. Many subscribers avoid these pitfalls by taking two minutes to review their account before confirming cancellation.
Mistake 1: cancelling too late and losing access immediately
If you cancel on your renewal date or after it has passed, your premium access ends immediately rather than at the end of your current billing cycle. Check your renewal date before you cancel so you do not lose access prematurely. Yafee recommends cancelling at least 1-2 days before your renewal date to ensure you retain access through the end of your paid period.
Mistake 2: confusing "downgrade to free" with full account deletion
Cancelling your premium subscription downgrades your account to free-it does not delete your account or any of your data. If you want to permanently delete your Skillshare account and all your personal information, you must request account deletion separately through customer support. Downgrading is reversible; deletion is not.
Mistake 3: not downloading your courses before cancellation
Once your premium access ends, you lose the ability to download classes and offline materials. If you have downloaded content to your device, those files remain accessible, but you cannot download new ones after downgrading. Download everything you need before your renewal date.
Mistake 4: ignoring confirmation emails
Save your cancellation confirmation email from Skillshare as proof. If you are ever charged again or dispute a charge, this email serves as evidence that you cancelled before the charge date. Store it in a dedicated folder or take a screenshot.
Mistake 5: not checking your account settings after cancellation
Verify that your account shows "Free membership" in your settings within 24 hours of cancellation. If it still displays "Premium" or shows an upcoming charge, contact Skillshare immediately. Do not assume cancellation has worked until you see it reflected in your account.
Cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you have completed every step correctly.
| Task | Completed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Logged in to your Skillshare account | Yes / No | Use your registered email and password |
| Checked your renewal date and billing amount | Yes / No | Found in account settings under Subscription |
| Downloaded all classes and content you want to keep | Yes / No | Do this before your premium access ends |
| Navigated to Subscription and clicked Cancel | Yes / No | Confirm the reason for cancellation (optional) |
| Received and saved your cancellation confirmation email | Yes / No | Keep this as proof in case of future disputes |
| Verified that your account now shows Free membership | Yes / No | Check within 24 hours of cancelling |
If Skillshare continues to charge you after cancellation
Occasionally, technical errors or system delays result in charges after you have cancelled. If you continue to see charges from Skillshare after your cancellation date, take action promptly.
Step 1: contact Skillshare customer support
Reach out to Skillshare's customer support team with your cancellation confirmation email and the disputed charge details. Request an immediate refund and ask for written confirmation that your account is cancelled. Skillshare typically responds within 5-10 business days.
Step 2: contact your bank or payment provider
If Skillshare does not refund the erroneous charge within 10 business days, contact your bank or card issuer and request a chargeback. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence that you cancelled before the charge was applied. Your bank will initiate a dispute process and may refund the charge while they investigate.
Step 3: escalate to the FCCPC
If both Skillshare and your bank fail to resolve the issue, lodge a formal complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). Submit your cancellation email, payment receipts, and all correspondence with Skillshare as supporting documents. The FCCPC investigates violations of the FCCPA 2019 and can order refunds or penalties against non-compliant providers.
