What some of our users are saying

"It's a great way to get through classes at your own pace. If you are disciplined and determined to do the work fast, it allows you to save some money. I was able to finish a class in two weeks by dedicating full time to the class material."


Well-organized, great format, clear, concise information delivery. I needed four undergrad pre-reqs to start grad school, and self-guided format is perfect for getting these classes done quickly and efficiently.
