So I just got a client who wants, in general terms, a website like Udemy but sells more specific educational courses, do you think this is possible in WordPress? Or is it too much developing power?
Thank you!
You want an LMS. You can google “Wordpress LMS” or just “LMS”
Look at rehub theme they have a lms like that
Use Learndash plugin
Learndash plug-in combined with Buddyboss.
Make sure you charge them for it. I wouldn’t be getting out of bed for less than $15k

EFor theme comes with LMS, so you save monies
You can try Tutor LMS. You can check this guide

You could use WordPress and WooCommerce to sell the courses and an LMS like Moodle for the courses themselves.
I’m currently deployed on a similar project where React (material design lib ) for frontend is used and WordPress as CMS. It’s not completely headless.
Use tutor lms plugin to build udemy like marketplace
I’ve used both LearnDash and TutorLMS. LearnDash is way better than Tutor. Tutor only caused us issues a couple years ago and have only used LearnDash since.
Building a Udemy look-a-like is possible BUT in the unlikely event that the project takes off, WP will not do in the long run.
Just in case there is a budget for advertising (several 100000 Dollars, especially in the first year) the owner will not be happy to start over with a proper custom-coded or RoR solution because those who had to go that route, lost most the the registered accounts when they moved from WP to ?.
If you get the go-ahead, make sure that you buy some server “muscle” because online learning sites need much more server RAM than casual websites.
