1. There is no free trial after you fill Skillsoft SmartCertify/CBT Direct's form and register at their Website. This is just a scam to get your phone number to circumvent the national "Do not Call" laws. I just tried your website registering with a different name and email address and there was no free course I was taken back to the main page. Click on the "Free Courses" again you just get their form again. 2. If you have been in IT for 17 years then you would know that Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta has only been around in 2006. If you read the complaints on this sight you would notice that they go back to 2002 when IE 6.0 was just coming out. Your crappy website doesn't work with 6.0 and I never have used it 7.0. Like I had said before I tried your crappy course for almost a year, and did not want it to use it for the second year of the 2 years I had signed up for, I would like $1500 dollars back out of the $3000 I had been talked into spending for this garbage. 3. This is from my latest statement from GE Money Bank, the interest rate 22.98% with a $17.12 finance charge. Unlike you BJ I believe in God and not in some galatic emperor named Xenu who killed his subjects and brainwashed their souls. And unlike you and your Scientologist co-workers at CBTDirect I believe in God's commandments, like "Thou shall not lie" and "Thou shall not steal". You people have no conscience and feel that is all right to lie and cheat people out of their hard earned money, especially those who are not members of Scientology, that you feel that you have right to do this to.

1st off......there is a free trial - you have to register and many people go on and use it every day......with no problems....I have been in the IT field for 17 yr's and know what I am talking about too. If you are using the IE beta 7.0 - it wont work.But then beta's do have their own set of problems - ask mr Gates. 2nd. There is a warranty - but you must do as it is written ( which you signed off on - prior to starting the course- in fact before we allow you to use the course , Do the training , the hands on , the training emails- use the LIVE mentors, then use the certblaster test prep- you must pass it - then go take your exam- all within 120 days ( the avg. course takes 4-5 weeks if you study 12-15 hr's a wk.) If you fail - on 2 attempt's ( within the 120 days) - you get the full cost of your course back - not the exam fee-that would be another local co. 3rd. GE Money bank has term loans- know what thaa means? Everyone gets the same rate 11.99%- thats it..period. UNLESS YOU MISS A PAYMENT - THEN IT WILL GO UP ON YOU. Dont miss payment's - thats on you.

I decided to reply to the first comment I read at the beginning of this topic for ease of convenience. I read the first 10 comments and want to thank you all for your input concerning this company. I live in Clearwater and previously worked 10 feet from CBT Direct several months ago. I curently am looking for a job again and was contacted by them concerning my resume. Prior to reading your comments, I would have possibly become one of those sales guys that you despise. But due to my integrity and disgust with our job market here, I will not misrepresent anything I sell even to earn a paycheck. By the way, they are making about $1k-$4k/wk pushing these programs on you. Thank you, Dusty-Clearwater,FL
