JUST DONT DO IT!
February 6, 2025

You will never get a person when you have issues that is not reading a script! Horrible customer service. A waste of $$. Nothing like a real certification program...THey act as if supervisors do not exist only student advisors with a standard script!

Just reading, reading, and more reading
October 1, 2022

When I enrolled in this class I had really high hopes for it because it's provided through a very reputable state school. I have been so incredibly disappointed to find that it's just a bunch of read, click, read, click. How is it possible that in 2022 anyone thinks that kind of 'learning' could be engaging? I was sure there would be some interaction or at least some videos to break up all of the reading. The most interactive it gets is when you can click on a box that expands to show - you guessed it - MORE READING. Let's get with the times. Students need to learn in fun and interesting ways in order to stay engaged. If I wanted to read for 3 hours a night I could have just bought the certification review book at a fraction of the cost of this program.

Ineffective Coursework:

The course material is outdated and does not align with current industry standards. It appears to lack depth and relevance, providing little value to students aiming to improve their employability. Furthermore, practical, actionable content that would genuinely prepare a student for the workforce is noticeably absent.

I paid $300 for some Corporate Drafting courses. The classes are open enrollment every 3 months. I had an emergency and could not start the course. Ed2go refused to let me start the same course in the next 3 months. They took my money and basically said "to bad." They then claimed there was 14 day period, which I did not receive. I don't know any place where one takes classes and the school will not work with you in critical situations until now. Who has $300 to give away? If you have an emergency this company will say thanks for the cash! How will you know if you're going to have an emergency? Best to check with an actual school or another online service, this one is happy to take your money and run!

Online Program
July 9, 2023

Review:
The online course from ed2go was a disappointment. Once I paid, there was no support or monitoring of my progress. The course materials lacked depth and clarity, making it difficult to learn effectively. Additionally, there was no online community for interaction. I would not recommend this course due to lacking support and engagement.

If you are taking continuing ed, classes, please do not click at the end of a Michigan Virtual class, where classes are offered. You will be mislead and lose money and time and energy. These courses are certificate only and it gets you nothing. I have lost money, time and credit taking classes here. It is unjust. Please, if you are taking classes for you teacher renewal, check with the State of Michigan and do NOT take ed2go,

I took the Pharmacy Technician certification course. The course was primarily comprised of reading, writing, and sparsely watching short videos. This did not feel like enough and failed to properly prepare me for the technician certification test (the ED2GO tests should have been more challenging and had more relevant questions). In addition, many physical books did not arrive until months later. For example, I completed the course in about 5 months' time. 7 months after purchase I am just now receiving a lab kit for the course. Overal, I am very disappointed in my experience and believe this company to be a scam.

A mess. I wasn't in the class two weeks asked for refund and it took Stephanie Kelly a week to call me. She is not professional at all. I emailed and called and she just need to get better. I paid $70.00 i only got $52.00. Wrong just wrong. Durham Tech gave me all my money. Next time i will stay within my area. Wake Tech

When I started the coding class, I was very excited and was able to get through the chapters easy. However, there was no really hands on help and when I completed the program and applied for an extership, our outside internship, they made it seem like there were several places to choose from, however I quickly received an email stating that I would need to find my own place- really? After it boasted about we will help you find a place to practices your skills? Total Fraud - the class itself was expensive and overall I feel like i did not get any value from this class. I have yet to take the exam, will do this in about three weeks, but after you finish the class, there is not option to go back and review - you are automatically cut off! I would not recommend this course at all - I wish I could get a refund - I could have done this on my own. Save your money people, not worth it.

After signing up for a course that was found to be misrepresented and paying down a large portion of money on said course. The decision was made that it would be useless to pursue. After discussing dropping the course and receiving a refund we were told it was past the 10 day refund policy, however it could be transferred to a different course with a transfer fee and any nonrefundable fees. So either way we are in to this "school" for probably a minimum of $1000 with nothing to show for it and no knowledge gained to help in a career field. This is nothing more than a money making scheme. Save yourself the hassle and the money and stay away from ed2go.

A waste.
April 8, 2021

I completed their Certified Medical Administrative Assistant program about a year ago. It was so not worth the money it cost. All you did was read a book, watch a few clips, answer questions and take an easy test at the end of each chapter. Thought we would be using software of some kind to mimic working in an office or anything but what we did.

Wish I could give them 0 stars
January 17, 2022

I had health issues and applied for an extension. A month ago I was told I would receive a response back in 1-3 business days. I have been reaching out to them since then and have not received any sort of response regardless as to how and who I try to contact from their company. Being that I paid for this course to help me get a cert out of pocket I am really upset with their lack of professionalism and would highly advise anyone thinking of taking a course through them to steer clear and find a company that is actually interested in helping you get your cert.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Extremely dissatisfied
September 7, 2022

Purchased Full Stack Software Developer.

The first two units were extremely easy for me since I have prior knowledge of the topics. Moving into the following units I became so lost I couldn't continue.

In addition to that I have extreme extenuating circumstances preventing me from being able to proceed even if I wanted to. I reached out to customer service and explained my situation to see about getting a refund and they were very unhelpful, and were unable to even offer me a partial refund.

I wish I would have saved my money and just taken classes on LinkedIn or even just followed tutorials on YouTube.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

I purchased the course for cybersecurity and it's a true disappointment, what you do is just viewing powerpoints, and it's not at your own pace the labs are timed and they will never encourage you to continue, also you need to purchase the Pro version for Windows to use all the virtual machines without issues, the coaching is the worst thing and the people is so rude and inpatient with you if you don't get the topic, even they try they think you are stupid and wasting their time. I really recommend not to choose this as your option for studying this career, see other options, this is a total scam $4k to trash. Forgot to mention that their costumer service is S$&t and to ask a proof it will take you 3+ days for them to give you a a proof of studies.

What a waste of time and money. The tech behind this site is absolutely horrible. The limited functionality makes you feel like it's some middle-school kid's tech class project.

No forethought, care, or concern about the student.

The content you can just google and find better.

Anyone who likes this platform is likely someone who works for them and is self-reviewing.

That, or they just got online within the last three months and find everything fascinating.

STAY AWAY. There are much better options.

Nothing but thieves
August 29, 2023

I paid $2,495 for "Cisco CCNA Certification Training (Voucher Included)", well guess what? Apparently the exam voucher is NOT included unless you complete their absolute train wreck of a program. Save your money, there exists several FREE YouTube guides that contain much more in depth and easier to follow training for this exam.

This company pretends that it has connections to community colleges. It does not. It's website are so basic a junior h.s student could design better. Their overhead is obviously zero. Their "advisors" are robots. You cannot get through on the phone. The "book" they send you is photocopied and falls apart. There is no interaction on the courses, no peronsal or human element. No cool resources. Bare bones basic. For THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS NO REFUNDS. Tell me that isn't a scam. They can't stay in business too long when their whole jam is taking advantage of people. They know people deserve a refund, and they don't GAF. They only saying, I told you so! This is my first review of the company, but I will write at least 10 more reviews and will not stop until I'm sure that every google search for higher education turns one of them up. And ed2go can comment on it, and make it even more obvious that they despise their consumers. And don't care if they took thousands of dollars from a small person who doesn't have that! Leaches. Bottom feeders. No real intelligent business strategy.

Just finished an excellent Excel course in three sections through Excelsior College, NY. Highly recommended. Registered for SharePoint 2016 through another institution but still ed2go and dropped it within days. Confusing content, poor customer service, just frustrating. Had high expectations given the Excel experience. They also don't seem interested in feedback. Won't go back to ed2go. Checking out Lynda! So far great.

Don't believe the false advertisements for one-on-one assists or practical hands-on teaching with load boards, software, or anything other than information. You can find all the information you get from ed2go, on the internet for free. There are some courses that will give hands-on practice and assist for a cheaper price. Ed2go Freight Broker class online gives information. You will have to print your certificate from your email pages because a student reported them to BBB for never receiving one. They do not find agent placement after you complete the course, has they say. Keep short, find a better class. Ed2go freight broker class is not worth $1800. Throughout the course, there is never a teacher doing anything. They collect the money and go.
