I have done both their high school diploma and their bachelors in business management degree program.
You have to be an independent learner that is really passionate about what you are signing up to learn in order to keep up with any online schooling program like this.
It is such a relief to be part of a school program that gives you plenty of time to finish your work, so that you can do it at your own pace.
Their 'chat now' option lets you connect with either an instructor or a general school representative within minutes.
Their prices are great/fair and the content is often pretty detailed/good.
Often, after sending in a class project/paper the teacher will send it back to be improved upon before you submit it again to be graded, but that's to be expected.
Three things that they could improve upon is..
-They could offer a tutoring program for those who need to help in math --
-Make their webinars more relevant for where the student is in their
studies and for what's going on in the current career field at the time.
-You do a proctor exam at the end of your semester and you have to keep all the class content relevant in your mind since you will be doing only one class at a time. It will take 1 or 2 weeks for your proctor to receive your exam, so you can review during that time. However, you only get 1 hour for each class exam, which seems almost impossible to me, being that often 15 of the questions will be 1 or 2 sentence answers but for the remaining 3 or 5, you will be expected to write out multiply paragraphs for an answer. Proctor exams are the hardest part of these courses.
