While the mythology of the self-taught entrepreneur still pervades Silicon Valley, it's more the exception than the norm. Most successful startup folks have had help from mentors and teachers: take Mark Zuckerberg, who has relied heavily on Sheryl Sandberg's advice to navigate the murky waters of being Facebook's CEO.

But having a Sandberg in our lives isn't the only way to get invaluable counsel to our startup ambitions. We've compiled a list of expert-taught courses that offer clear, easy-to-follow instruction on entrepreneurial must-knows—and have split them into beginner and experienced tracks so you can easily find resources tailored to your experience level.

Courses for the budding entrepreneur.
