Fred Pryor Seminars Careertrack Waste of money, doesn't teach you anything Internet
They have the catchiest names for their seminars and products, but teach you nothing. I was so excited to attend Dealing with Difficult People that when I signed up online I also took advantage of their offer for an audio series called 31 Ways to Diffuse Anger. I got to the seminar and all I kept hearing was "...if want to learn more about that please purchase...". Basically, what I learned was that each bullet point that caught my attention in their marketing material was available through some other product or seminar they offer.
I hoped the audio series would be better, but still nothing in there that would be useful or beyond common sense.
To top it all off, I paid for both the seminar and CD when I registered online, but yet they keep sending me a bill.
Bottom line - waste of time and money.

Having taken a number of Fred Pryor seminars over the past few years, I have never had an issue with billing or customer service. In fact, they have always responded to any issue or complaint regarding the courses with the upmost care and consideration, often going above and beyond to guarantee satisfaction.
Unfortunately, I have also found that most of the seminars offered did not fullfill their description, goals, or objectives. A large part of these discrepancies falls on the instructors - or "independent contractors" as they often explain. In fact, I can not recommend these seminars for anyone except the most inexperienced and novice of users or employees. On this I must agree, the seminars do seem to be largely a waste of time and money.
