CourseCareersReviews of coursecareers.com

Took almost a full 2 months for any feedback. entire sections are misplaced causing basic terminology to be put in the back of the lesson (with a comment from the instructor saying 'i should move this to the front of the lessons') like who woulda thought basic logic applies consistantly? save your money. btw im able to say two months because they just got back to me today, from july. like why even bother i shouldve been finished with the course already if it wasnt so screwed up. btw you dont need my phone number to know im a real person, asking for irrelivant information to try to dismiss somebodies review is enitrely inappropriate.

Update: After reading CourseCareers’ response, I have decided to lower my rating to 1 star. Their reply completely missed the point of my review. I never said AI shouldn’t be used. I work in IT support already, so I understand very well that AI is an important tool in this profession. My criticism was that the instructor relied on AI instead of teaching. A significant portion of the course consisted of telling students to “ask ChatGPT” or “use AI” rather than explaining concepts in depth. I paid for instruction from an experienced trainer, not to be repeatedly directed to tools I already use every day. Their response also mentions their 14-day refund policy. I didn’t request a refund because I genuinely believed the course would improve as it progressed. Like many working professionals, I could not realistically complete and evaluate the entire course within 14 days while working full-time. What disappointed me most was that they did not acknowledge or address any of the concerns I raised about the production quality, the lack of editing, the repeated mistakes in the videos, or the reliance on additional paid services. Instead, they responded by saying that thousands of students have found jobs through the course. That statistic does not address my experience. I already work in IT support and enrolled because I wanted structured, academic-style instruction to deepen my knowledge. I wasn’t looking for job placement assistance. My concern is for students who have no prior IT background and may expect comprehensive teaching but instead receive a course that frequently tells them to ask AI for the answers. In my opinion, the course did not deliver the level of instruction that its marketing led me to expect. Original review: I purchased this course because the testimonials and introduction videos gave me the impression that I would receive high-quality, well-structured training that would help me build real IT knowledge. Unfortunately, my experience was very different. The topics covered are relevant, and I have no issue with the curriculum itself. My disappointment is with how the material was delivered. Most of the training videos felt like unedited screen recordings. The instructor frequently made mistakes, corrected them while recording, and continued without re-recording or editing the lesson. It gave the impression that very little effort went into producing a professional course, especially considering the price. Another major issue was how often the instructor relied on AI. A large portion of the course consisted of instructions like "search this in ChatGPT," "ask AI," or "memorize this for the exam." I estimate that this happened throughout much of the training. I enrolled because I wanted to learn from an instructor with experience, not because I needed someone to tell me to ask ChatGPT. I already know how to use AI, and if that was going to be the primary teaching method, I could have learned much of the same material on my own. When covering resume creation, students were directed to another subscription-based platform where many of the useful templates and suggestions required another payment. After already paying for the course, I found this frustrating, and also most of the linkedIn training was based on guessing who to email or sending emails to the hiring managers which I find useless. Finally, after completing the course, the trainer encouraged students to submit testimonial videos for a chance to win $200. Seeing that immediately after finishing made me question how many of the positive testimonials I had relied on when making my purchase were influenced by that incentive. While I cannot know why individual people left positive reviews, it did leave me feeling misled. I completed the course and passed the exam, but by the end I had largely lost my enthusiasm because the overall production quality and teaching approach did not meet my expectations. Personally, I would not purchase this course if I were to go back or recommend it at its current price. The second star is only because I liked the titles, and now I get to go search for those titles on free YouTube videos.

Save your money! I haven’t been able to find a job after completing the accounting certification with a business degree to supplement. I took their stupid workshops and I absolutely regret spending this money and wasting so much time on their resume and recruitment services that are bogus. It’s been 7 months and NOTHING!!!

This is my honest and unbiased review of the CourseCareers Accounting course. They state that the entire Accounting course will take 1-4 months to complete. I finished the entire program in 1 week. The Accounting course is about 10 hours worth of video in total. It should not take you long to complete the program if you're diligent. The course material is very basic information. Their pitch is that this information is enough to get you an entry-level position. Maybe. The instructor clearly states that they remove all the "fluff" and give you what you need. To be quite honest, the information provided in the course can all be had for absolutely FREE on YouTube and other sources. The information is lackluster at best. You certainly don't need to spend $499 for the privilege. For example, in the Accounting Systems module, I expected to learn how to use accounting software, like Quickbooks Online. The instructor just briefly goes over the different accounting software platforms that are out there. You will not learn how to use them in this course. Total waste of time. You can learn how to use Quickbooks Online for FREE if you're interested in Bookkeeping, for example. This is a much more valuable skill than anything you will learn in CourseCareers. After you finish the core course there is a section on Careers. This is another complete waste of time section. For example, if you know anything remotely about how to use a computer you're good to go. The LinkedIn module is completely useless, as is the resume module. If you don't know how to create a LinkedIn profile, there are hundreds of YouTube videos on how to do it. Yep, all completely FREE. Need help with your resume, you guessed it, you can create a great Accounting resume for FREE. People think if they purchase something it is something of value. This isn't always the case. There is absolutely no value here for what you are spending. Do a little research and learn this stuff for FREE. It's not rocket science. For example, you can learn Bookkeeping for FREE from various sources. The Bookkeeping module in the course is a complete waste of time, as are the other career paths for that matter. I learned 10X the Bookkeeping skills I need to get a job, yes, again I learned for FREE. Let's talk about the Final Exam. This is where they get you. You only have a 14-day window to request a refund if you are dissatisfied with the course. Like I said, I completed the entire course in 1 week and took the Final Exam. Lo and behold, I failed the first attempt at the Final. They give you two FREE chances to pass the Final Exam. After that, if you do not pass or are dissatisfied with your score, you will need to hand over $50 per attempt. It took them 2+ days to grade my first attempt at the Final Exam. Why is this important? It eats into your 14-day refund window, provided you complete the program quickly. I took the Final Exam again and it took them another 2+ days to return my results. I passed, but the grade was not satisfactory to me. By this time I had exceeded the 14-day window by 2 days. Per their policy, you are not eligible for a refund at that point. If you pass the Final Exam you are granted access to the Graduate portal. This is where you can create a profile and upload your resume. Supposedly, employers can access the portal and view your profile and resume. Keep in mind, that they will also have access to your Final Exam score, your verbal answers to the questions, and answers to the multiple-choice questions. So if you failed a lot of the verbal questions or your score is low, it may not be worth your while to create a profile. This is completely up to the student. Before you take the Final Exam, they clearly state that you should score high on the exam. I'm not sure what your chances are of landing an actual job through CourseCareers if you don't. So that's the entire program in a nutshell. Do yourself a favor and pass on CourseCareers. I understand they have a lot of great reviews, but these reviews are mostly of their programs other than Accounting. I cannot speak to their other programs. That was one of the main reasons I chose to give it a shot. But in the end, all the information you will gain from this program can be learned for absolutely FREE. There is nothing of substance here. Perhaps the certification you get is worth it for some students, and maybe even some get a job through the platform. It would be interesting to know what their success rate is among their students. I give CourseCareers an overall rating of 1 star. If you decide to give CourseCareers a shot, good luck.

I took the Tech Sales course, and it has not been satisfactory at all! Multiple times it was handled in a non-professional manner. It always seems like the instructor is winging his teaching materials; from taking extraordinarily long to show a simple technique, to constantly repeating the same materials repeatedly. The tests that are supposed to gauge your knowledge of learned material are just crappy, non-logical, excuses to say that you are competent. The tests that reflect the books are often phrased in a way (that is just the instructor's take on the material) that contradicts the rest of the book (the tests are done on a chapter-to-chapter basis) but also conflicts with his teaching methods and techniques. Now I understand that if he can reveal various ways of thinking about sales, then we have a greater chance for success. But it must also be understood that inconsistencies in this course are so obvious and distracting that it makes the entire course look unprofessional. When purchasing the course, I was under the impression that this was a trained professional who was not only competent in his profession, but ALSO in teaching!
