Notice the complaints for SDC mainly reference the misunderstanding between free trial and 30 day money back guarantee. I agree it’s disingenuous but it is quite clear if you read before putting in your credit card.
Honestly all post secondary education in the U.S. is fundamentally predatory and exploitative. These options are simply less so.
Respectfully, you seem to be sidestepping my point, which is curious, because you paid ~$99 per course, just like most of the people I advise (ALPA members). My only complaint is that pricing should be more egalitarian. I acknowledged the quality.
No, I didn't notice that. I'm not going to sort through...what was it? A hundred and eighty-seven complaints?
My point is that describing Sophia as having "just as much of a scumbag business model" as Study.com is laughable. Feel free to sidestep it if you like, it won't change those BBB numbers.
Just to butt in, regardless of what people on review sites say, in my opinion Sophia.org offering organizational discounting is not scummy at all, whereas SDC's "gym membership"-style recurring billing is.
