  1. Big disappointment by matria · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I got the "web developer" certificate over two years ago; it was a sad waste of $1,700. I found numerous errors in every course, and had to patiently explain the error several times to my "mentor" before he finally realized what was wrong. I wonder if they've ever corrected the errors.

    And then the certificate itself is just a drab printout. I would have done better to fire up GIMP and make my own. Very disappointing.
