Always wondered- is their program any good, or is it a "well, you've got that piece of paper you wanted" kind of thing?

I have experience with their programs and can confirm that they are of good quality. The big thing that can potentially be a big selling point (or turn-off) is that their programs are self-guided- with a few exceptions such as requiring setting a schedule and satisfactory academic progress requirements.

If you have any questions, ama!

If you want to speed run getting certifications and that dumb sheet of paper everyone's obsessed with using 6 month class buffets, it's the best thing on the market.

If you genuinely need to be learning actual concepts from the classes, I can't really be sure if these mostly self-directed classes will be better or worse than a brick and mortar college. It will probably vary more on your personal learning style needs.
