It depends on the course and what you're after: a course is worth it if it teaches you to solve specific tasks from your work and is up to date; it isn't if it sells you formulas, tricks or tools that will have changed within a few months. Before paying, ask yourself what you'll be able to do at the end that you can't do today.
What usually confuses people is that many courses look alike in the title but not in the content. There's serious training and there are products that package up what the AI itself would explain to you if you asked. Red flags: they promise income, sell "secret prompts", don't say when the syllabus was last updated or teach a single tool as if it were eternal. And remember that the best practice is your own work: no course replaces wrestling with a real case and getting it wrong a couple of times.
I don't sell courses; on this blog I share what works for me and what doesn't. In "What's no longer worth learning" I go through what I've been discarding, courses included, and what I think does deserve your time. If you're about to pay for one, take a look first: at the very least you'll come away with a few questions to ask whoever is selling it to you.
