I looked through the catalog and it seems like most of the courses can be found on other, cheaper sources like CLEP, Sophia, study.com, OnlineDegree.com, and Saylor. However, I did notice a few distinctive offerings. Because of the price, I would probably only look at this for unique credits I can't get elsewhere.
In unrelated news, I am a bit turned off by their push to connect with them via WhatsApp. I also feel that the course descriptions and type of credit could be more transparent. I noticed that courses will say "offered by so and so university" which would imply that you would get a transcript from that university, but elsewhere on the site it says the credits are all recommendations through NCCRS. That's important because NCCRS recommendations are less widely accepted than actual university credits ... though if the course is offered by a Canadian university and you're trying to get your degree in the US, then maybe NCCRS credits would be easier because you don't have to go through a foreign credit evaluation? In any case, this information should be ready available to anyone browsing the website without having to connect with UPI via Whatsapp or some other medium that's going to get them spammed forever and ever with marketing messages.
