I searched for reviews as well after I saw the groupon deal. I finally decided to try it figuring I only have $69 to lose. I'm also not planning to use the certificate for a full-time job but instead for something to have as a back-up when my family is overseas for 3 or more months (extra cash as a private tutor, private schools, etc.) Anyway, the only "catch" I've found so far is that to actually get your certificate costs extra. I think it's something like $25 for an electronic copy and $30 or $35 for a paper copy. Since the course is sort of a good deal I guess $100 isn't too bad. The good thing is that the course is more intense than I anticipated. I thought I'd be able to put in my 150 hours over 2 weeks and be done with it. However, there are MANY modules which take quite some time to read through and digest. There are quizzes and tests and projects which require time and thought. After about a month and a half I'm still not finished and I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. I think it will serve my purpose well. I'm learning a LOT. I think it's a great buy unless you need an accredited certificate for a state or full-time job. The only thing I think it lacks is some form of printed material for you to reference in the future, but for the cost I expected there wouldn't be. I'll try and find some good supplements online and enjoy the journey. I hope that helps. - Sent from my phone and not going to bother with proofreading
