The supplied reviews highlight two recurring concerns: perceived lack of certificate value and persistent marketing emails despite unsubscribe attempts. Before enrolling, verify whether a certificate meets employer or state requirements and request credential or syllabus documentation. Check the provider’s refund, privacy, and unsubscribe policies and save correspondence if problems arise. If marketing or sign-up practices are a concern, contact the institution listed as a partner to confirm the relationship and acceptance of the credential.
