Red flags everywhere - my disappointing experience with a sketchy online course platform

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm still trying to process the whole ordeal with this online course platform. I signed up thinking it'd be a great way to learn some new skills, but what I got was a bunch of broken links, outdated materials, and a customer support team that seemed to be nowhere to be found. Needless to say, it was a huge waste of time and money.

I recently had a pretty rocky experience with an online platform that's supposed to offer affordable courses on a wide range of topics. As a hobby enthusiast, I've used similar sites in the past and had some great results, but this one was a total letdown.

I've bought courses on illustration from another site and had mixed results - one was really helpful, while the others were pretty meh. My partner has used these platforms to find courses on guitar playing, and my friend has found some great social media marketing courses. So, what's the deal with these platforms? They usually offer courses at a lower price point, typically between $100 and $1000.

I stumbled upon this particular site while searching for courses on candle-making, which I thought would be a fun hobby to try out. But when I started browsing the courses, I noticed something fishy - there were hardly any reviews, despite the fact that people were buying courses. Later, I realized why: the moderators were deleting negative reviews and responding with some pretty bizarre comments.

My own review got deleted, and I'm still fuming about it. I had pointed out that the course didn't live up to its description - the instructor didn't answer the questions they promised to, and there were even some errors in the content. It looked like a rough draft, not a finished course.

Here are a few specific issues I had with the course: the instructor recommended not heating the wax above 70 degrees, but the manufacturer's website says 85 degrees is the max. They also made some confusing statements about colorants, and showed a photo of a candle with untrimmed wicks, despite claiming that trimming them is essential for a smooth finish.

I'm not recommending this site because of their shady review policies and possible course tampering. It's just not worth the risk - buyer beware!
