DO NOT SUBSCRIBE! This whole thing is run by a bunch of scammers. Their adverts are very misleading and beware they will charge you $60 for a full year membership without any notification that your trial period is over and your membership is up for renewal. I have contested the $60 charge they took from my account within less than 24 hours and this Dorothy girl (I doubt that this is even her real name) I was emailing with back and forth was just completely talking BS in a somewhat diplomatic way telling me that I should have cancelled my membership earlier, but there's no way to keep track when the trial period is over. IT'S A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to sign up, but I as clicked the banner with $60 for a year if I desiced to continue after the trial period - in the next window the price was $70... so I really searched to find if their customerservice is good in case I had to complain about the cost... and found that they actually have NO good reviews.... So I'm not signing up for it. Thanx to all of you who left me the tips!

I have exactly the same complaints about Highbrough as the others. They are deceitful, & what gauls me is that they explain their position as if it is the word of law - actually it is not, it is just their fraudulent policy. Actually in much of Canada, this policy is called 'reverse onus' & it is illegal. This company is not truthful & has horrible customer relations, they are fraudulent & dishonest. To take advantage of those who wish to improve their education, & put in disrepute the numerous instructors who work for them is shameful. I wonder if they even know what is going on behind their backs.

Caveat Emtpor. Yes, I did sign up for it. Yes I did look at the conditions. I incorrectly diarised the month's trial ending date. I took a class and felt overwhelmed, but unfortunately did not cancel in time. $60 is a lot of money to be charged without warning. But it was in the conditions. I guess I will try to make the most of the one-year subscription and enroll every 10 days - I missed the information that you can only enroll in one class at a time, or I would have taken multiple classes to get my money's worth.

Total scam. They do not tell you when the free trial is over, they deduct the whole year's worth of billings all at once right after (without a choice!) and their customer service is ridiculously bad. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! the course content is abysmal - you can definitely learn more for free.

aweful. they do not warn you when the trial period is over, they just take your money after trial period is over. you can be sick, dying, they don't care, they just rob you. and the programme is pathetic, useless, you will not learn a thing. AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do not sign up even for free. IT IS A SCAM!!!!

Beware of Highbrow!!!! They are an online educational course provider. They advertise on their website and in their terms and conditions that membership for the courses is $5/mo. Then in smaller font writes $60 billed once a year (I thought this was just an additional option). However, they deduct the full $60 from you as soon as your 30-day trial is over, not $5/mo. They gave me no notice so the trial period ended without me knowing and suddenly I had $60 missing from my account. I canceled my membership straight away and they won't refund me any of my money. None of it. So they're not charging me $5 per month as advertised, nor $60 per year, but $60 upfront as soon as the 30-day trial is over. They say on their site "cancel anytime" but what they don't mention is that even after canceling you still have to pay the full $60 for the year, even if you've never received any content and only been a paying member for 1 day before canceling, like me! They've charged me $60 for one day of membership! Their billing period is really at the start of each year, charging for the full year so it is deceiving to advertise it as $5/mo. It's very sneaky of them. I wrote to them saying I haven't and don't want to use their services and I'm unemployed at the moment and cannot afford the $60 they just deducted from my bank account. I explained I really need that money to survive. They didn't care. They told me they "can't" refund me. How ridiculous! Of course they can! It's easy to return a deducted payment. They just don't WANT to. They'd rather scam money out of me than help me. They wouldn't even compromise with me. They are callous and greedy. They've been very patronizing and unhelpful in my communication with them. All they care about is getting money out of you. I do NOT recommend them.
