Fake Promises and lack of quality learning outcome. Review on Simplilearn.com

I was told by the leaning consultant when I enrolled that the course would be a 3 month duration one. But after enrolling I realised that the course would be pretty long and hard to manage alongside your work schedule if you are a working professional.

So the criteria to unlock the master certificate(the one awarded after completing all 6 courses in the Business Analyst Program) was to complete 2 course end projects from 2 different courses or complete 65% of the course to unlock certificate and avail the placement assistance.

I had contacted the customer care team after completing all the 6 courses(from live class recording to self learning and project submission and plus one more elective course). So here I had completed 7 courses instead of just 2 courses which is needed to get placement assistance. But even though I had completed 6/6(main courses with 100% complete rate each) my progress on my Learning Management System was only 19% course completion.

When I asked them to provide me with the placement assistance they bluntly told no because my course progress was only 19%. When I asked them why was it 19% when I have completed all classes, projects and certification exams, they said it is mainly because I haven't attended any live class.

So when I logically questioned them asking if we keep 50% weightage for live classes and the rest 50% weightage for the self learning+exams+projects, still my course progress should have touched 50% each, but in reality the course progress was only 19% for BA and 11% for tableau even though I completed the course and unlocked my certificate.

Also the course curriculum isn’t updated or industry relevant and is mostly outdated. They teach the concepts half and half and when you do the projects you will realise that and will be forced to watch more than a couple of YouTube videos to get your concepts sorted out.

So I would highly recommend anyone planning on enrolling for this course to not proceed further ahead as misleading promises are made and hardly any support is provided to address the learner’s problems. It is really disheartening to have put in so much of hard work and be denied the opportunity to sit for placements solely on the reason that I could not attend a live class. Also I had told their Consultant before getting myself enrolled that my work timings would not let me attend any live classes, yet the executive lied to me that it would never be an issue as they would be providing me the recording and also would not affect my eligibility for the placements as well.

I have also attached the photo of the same so that for reference.
