They are probably counting on corporate/government agency customers who aren't aware of the competition. Then DPW can offer them a "big discount" on bulk orders of a few dozen or hundred courses. In reality, it'd be better to look into SL, SDC, Sophia, OD, etc for better quality, cheaper, and more proven courses for corporate/bulk courses.
Does the G.I. Bill pay for these types of courses? Military families is one of their target markets.

I know the post 9/11 and Montgomery GI Bill can be used for some industry certifications(PMP, CompTIA, etc.) But I'm not sure it can be used for programs like that.

I just received an email from them stating that they apologize for the mishap and are in the process of restoring my access to the course.

Same. That's good. I'd like to be able to try the classes and give my honest impression.

they won’t be around for long just like Aligndegree if they don’t lower their prices considerably.

Well, I certainly won't be using this provider for any of my credits now that I see they took the courses away from you guys after you'd already done work on them. That is lame. The wrong pricing was their fault. Even if they 'restore access' now, you can still see their original intentions.

Yeah, I studied some and had all 10 quizzes done. (When they added them back, my quiz progress is gone. Emailed and they can't restore it.) I think the material is easy to understand, and it's less wordy than other courses.

Same here, I only had one of each assessment finished anyway. I wonder how the grading works, is the final the only thing that counts? The "Grades:View" page makes it look like the quiz grades are part of the equation but there isn't much information on the site.
