Guidelines are vague/wrong Guidelines are vague/wrong, no credit given for completed modules which then prevents the exam from launching. It's so unclear that it doesn't tell you that you missed the exam deadline - rather, the way it's written, made it seem the exam wasn't open yet to be able to write it. No help available. Terrible.

EDX can be used in different ways EDX can be used in different ways. I personally have used EDX since its inception. I am a huge fan of e-learning and wrote to the UK government 40 years ago when the internet started with the massive opportunity it presented to improve UK education - deaf ears of course (read Rory Stewart's book on how government does not work). But EDX and FutureLearn have provided significant resources for everyone in the world online and if you 'audit' the course (as I do) then they are completely free. Yes some vary in quality, but some of the courses I have reviewed are simply the best courses I have ever taken in my life - and I have a UK Hons Degree done way back when. So, I suggest people stop & think before paying - Audit the course FIRST - then, if it is good quality and is what you expect, only then pay if you really need a certificate.

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification I did my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification in EdX and it was a good experience. You would reminded to resume based on the class category you requested if once a week, 3x a week or extensive. And at the end of every module there were exercises/exams where you will be given 1-2 x chance to answer correctly. So, it is best to take down notes to get the most of the course. So far, I was given the leniency I need to finish the course according to the time allotted. There were some comments from previous takers where they were asking for the certificate after part 1. As for my experience, I have my certificate issued after part 1. The experience was by far, good and I learned a lot.

Auditing Ive audited several edX courses. I like to complete and submit work and know how I progressed, but I don't want a Verified Certificate. The last course I attempted - got half way through then - bammo - couldn't submit work for assessment unless I paid for a Verified Certificate. Come on edX. Tell us at the start of the course if auditing is going to be assessed or not. The course is most interesting (no complaints) and Im going to do the assignments, but I do like feedback.

This company is Satan incarnate This company, edX/2U, is performing a money grab. They advertise about this great opportunity, a way to improve your living situation by learning a skill that is in need. I was sold by their salespeople on a great opportunity. When I finished, received my paper, paid my money, and couldn't find work... I was told there was no guarantee to find employment. Every response seemed as thought it was scripted. not to mention, my mom passed away in the middle of the bootcamp I was enrolled in. I was grieving, I wasn't able to learn anything or retain any info. my mind was on mourning the passing of my mom. edx/2U counselors offered me one excused absence of the two days I missed when my mom passed. They didn't offer anything outside of that excused absence. No postponed class, maybe restart in a new class, a refund..Nothing. they are a greedy corporation that wants your money. I'm sure they've rebranded and are probably running this same scam under a new name. Just be careful.
