Interested in trying out InstantCert's new courses (under ACE review)?
#21
I'm interested in Astronomy and American Government. I'd like to try it out, if possible.

I'd be quite interested in the environmental science and astronomy courses, especially the lab component. And, I'd like to make a suggestion regarding future courses: there aren't many science courses that include labs beyond the standard Biology 101 course, I'd love to see affordable options for labs for all of the sciences, especially at the higher levels, even if it means ordering kits to get all of the required components.

Wow! Very cool! I stay away from the forum for a single day and big news like this happens! I'd love to do astronomy(and lab)and environmental science!

I sent a PM but I think I would be a great candidate for this as I've conversed with a few different alternative credit websites about their platforms and given them objective feedback.

Nice. But really? We have a lot of those courses.

Steven this is AWESOME!!!! I can't wait until you roll this out- fingers crossed for a painless ACE review and approval!! I'm not qualified to review those courses for content, and I don't need the credit, but I'd love to sneak a peek just because I'm curious like that. Wink

It'd be cool to get your behind the scenes insight on the ACE review process too, if it's something you're willing to share

I'm glad someone else said it. There's a lot of competition for those courses, and Study.com and Straighterline are behemoths you can't compete with unless you offer something different.

I was thinking the same thing.  Why try to compete with everyone else with the same courses that are already offered, when you can offer things that aren't available anywhere else, making you the go-to provider for certain courses?

But I guess there's a reason since EVERYONE seems to go that.

Hey guys,

For future courses, we intend to start adding in some less commonly offered subjects, but for the first round, while we were figuring out the ACE review process, it made sense to go with subjects we already had some experience with that were easier for us to develop.
