I think it was more ad-hoc as people reached out to the trainers. I think you make a good point though. It's definitely important when selecting where you spend your training dollars that you select your provider carefully. Hey Darby,

If they did not do it before? Aside from another way to shill another $10,000.00 from a candidate why would they do it now? Hmmm... Now a student can pay up to $20,000.00 - Ouch! Sad for those who invested with NetMasterClass and lost access to EVERYTHING!!!! Real Sad! Bad Business Model!!! Good Luck! If the program changes you might get hung out to dry too. Buyer Beware!!!
