“Good for Skilling Up”

Jer M.
10/21/20

They are good to decent. It does depend on the content. I get access for free, so I could not tell you if it is a value for the money. I had used them as a extra study source for some certifications. Also use them as a means to feel out a new subject or certification I would like to look into. They are not going to be good for everyone. First all the content for teaching is video. If you are hands on or need instructor lead this will not work. You can take exams to test knowledge. I do not know how well this maps to certifications. Only dabbled with the exams. I have not look at any courses yet that were not Computer Science.

“Before I decided to go the community college route,...”

Before I decided to go the community college route, I did look at going to kaplan for the easier schedule and the ability for me to still keep my day job. Looking at their graduates, it appears they struggle to find a job. Just do a search online and you will see that a kaplan degree doesn't mean too much. Community colleges have much better local connections to get a job. If you read this do yourself a favor and check all of the local community schools and even if it is more challenging to fit them into your work schedule it is worth it in the long run.

It's more than 5,000 courses the t. I and related, I realized 4 courses and knowledge I got helped me become a better professional, best practices and modern, the value of the signature may seem a little pricey but the content is there and worth the investment, I recommend!

In my search for an online school so far kaplan I think is ranking the best. They it seems are owned by the washington post I think and seem at least very legit and have been around for years. I remember people in high school going to kaplan for their SATs. They offer more degrees it seems than many other online schools including an MBA and JD degree once you finish the bachelors degree. It appears you could become a lawyer all online if you can take out enough loans to pay for it all.

The cost is about the same as other online schools and I think the fact that they have a very long history is a good thing. I was surprised to see that they too were investigated by the US senate hearing

http://socialcapitalreview.org/u-s-senate-hearings-fraud-in-for-profit-education-industry/

And they had this to say about the 15 schools including kaplan that were investigated

All 15 schools investigated "made deceptive or otherwise questionable statements to G. A. O.'s undercover applicants."

That worries me. But I am not sure if there are any online schools that are any different in this regard or at least ones that I can get into easily.

Another big advantage of kaplan is that they have physical locations as well and are not purely online. That makes me feel better that I can at least visit my local kaplan office for help. The pure online schools cannot offer that.

According to wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplan,_Inc.

They had a case against them that they defrauded the government and inflated students grades to help them graduate... I cannot see anything wrong with that! Help me graduate, heck ya! Would the government rather kick out the students?

Not a bad online education I think but would like to hear more from others.

Trainsignal.com is a bunch of liars. They lie to you telling you how great their customer service is but then you can't get them back on the phone after the sale. I tried to get my money back (they advertise a money back guarantee) but not I'm fighting it with my credit card company. The guys at train signal should be put out of business.
