FAST ADDITION:

Whenever I read ed2go, these are continuing education and/or professional development, in other words, remedial in nature...
From the Cost: link above. "Upon completing your program with a passing score, you’ll get a certificate of completion from RVCC."
I've seen many community colleges provide ed2go, including a couple of universities, these shouldn't be college credit worthy.

"Shouldn't be" or "Are not" worth credits?? ... also never trust a.i.

Unsure if this one is free, need to look deeper, sorry if I jumped the gun
