I enrolled in CourseCareers expecting up-to-date, practical training for breaking into tech sales. Unfortunately, the course felt dated and generic, especially given how quickly the tech sales market has changed over the past 1–2 years. A lot of the material covered high-level concepts that are widely available for free online, and the examples and tactics didn’t reflect what I’m seeing in today’s hiring environment for SDR/BDR roles. What was most disappointing was the refund experience. I requested a refund within the first month and had completed only a small portion of the course. Despite this, my refund request was denied with no flexibility or partial refund offered. For a program marketed to career switchers and beginners, I expected more customer empathy and more current, market-relevant content. Based on my experience, I would recommend doing extensive research and exploring alternative (or free) resources before committing.

I took the Accounting course. For me, it was just alright. The information in the course was insightful, but the course itself was quite dull and riddled with typos. The course instructor was often stumbling over his words (especially when it came to numbers). If I'm paying $499 for a course, I expect it to be edited and I expect to feel like the instructor knows what they're talking about. The Prep Exam and the Final Exam both contained way too many typos for a professional course. Some people might not care, but it was very distracting to me and I couldn't help but think, "I'm supposed to be learning from somebody who doesn't even care about their own course enough to spell check?" The course makes you download Grammarly before being able to take the Practice Exam, maybe they should use that. Also on the Practice Exam, Final Exam, and quizzes throughout the course were questions that suggested referencing the chapters where I learned the information in order to get the answer. You're not allowed to leave the page when taking the exams or quizzes (it's a closed-note test), so that was impossible to do without going back and checking what the actual answer is AFTER getting it wrong. That was very frustrating to have on a closed-note test. I was forced to memorize what Apple's gross income was in 2022 (or whatever the question was) and the only reason I knew the answer was I went back and memorized it after getting it wrong on the Practice Exam. NOT IMPRESSED with the overall grammar and set up of the course. The rest was fine. Also, before you reply to this review telling me to contact support at coursecareers.com (had to type "at" because you don't allow email addresses in reviews) to let you guys know where all the typos are, maybe you should look through the course yourself or hire me as an editor. Then (and only then) I would feel inclined to point out your mistakes.

Although I have not currently started this course I am confident that I will get much needed information.

For the IT Course I think all of the information is great. There’s nothing I had trouble understanding. Josh is really good at making sure he explains exactly what’s happening/ what he’s doing in each step. The job advice is also very useful and I would recommend this course. However, an issue I have is that it is misleading how it advertises how they have companies that hire their students and you’ll be able to pay it off after working etc. That was my convincing factor to join this particular course over others. It kind of upsets me how I get emails to advertise their course rather than about these companies ready to hire. Saying someone makes 400k as an affiliate is just as bad as clickbait in my opinion and irritating. The people who got jobs after this course that you see videos of are not from these related companies which is also misleading if you’re looking forward to that. Relating back to the course, you need to be prepared to sign up for Azure’s free trial with a credit card. It’s only for one month and if the trial ends it is hard to create another account because they check credentials. You will need to pay for extra usage. There is a student (college student not coursecareers student) trial available as well which is how I continued to use Azure an extra month. I did not finish labs in one day and did not want to restart particularly long ones such as osTicket. So I had to leave the VM running which takes away your free funds ($200 which is plenty. Just be aware). It would be nice if the course cost went towards that perhaps or if there was a warning to be prepared for additional payment needed. I understand this is cheaper than other bootcamps but at the same time it’s not as professionally structured. I feel as if I’m paying for Josh’s connection basically. His YouTube channel is just as informational as this course essentially. I would say look for a job, check the description requirements, learn what they’re looking for with free content such as YouTube and MITex.. even watch for sales on Udemy (around $12 on sale) and they will have great courses. I’m not trying to down this course. It has great content. Josh is great and informative. Just misleading about the job offerings and other things which bothered me.

Not much of a study guide to help me study for exam
