Holy moly,

Gupta, I don't know if you are associated with these people, but what a cluster.

So, I registered for the course on linked-in. No mean feat there. Not everyone is a daily user of linkedin.

A week or so later I get a code from the dev via e-mail. No link in the e-mail to the course material. Had to come back here to get the link. Went through the gyration for registering with them, and "buying" the course. Then I got a link(ish) to a "api-training-lounge" on Slack, again for which I had to register. Still not anywhere closer to training materials.

Why in the world does this need to be so convoluted. If I had paid actual money, I'd be in the process of a credit card chargeback after this foo foo.

Geeze, make this easy for your customers.

It's almost like they are going through this just to collect e-mail addresses.....

I know the developer/author for a very long time, so I'm surprised that you have to go thru this. I feel your pain, so will surely make sure to report the issues you have to go thru. Sorry again for the trouble.

Here is the course link in case if this helps you or others https://bluebyte.biz/courses/mastering- ... -with-vba/

This is the author of the course.

Everyone who has gotten the code were able to sign up for the course just OK. The sign up link is in the original LinkedIn post.

Our coupon codes work on our website a 100%. You were not charged.

The course is accessible in the website under courses from the top. I cannot really say it any better way.

I was hoping you would reach out via the contact page. The language in your post is definitely NOT friendly for future users considering the course.

This is not ok man. Please consider editing your post in the future.

You are right. I wasn't charged.

Still have no idea whatsoever where the course materials are.

I did reach out on LinkedIn.

Again, why is this so convoluted? My time is valuable and wasting it is not ok either.

Let's call this done.

@AmenJlili
Is it also possible to register for the course here via the forum?
I would like to take part in the course but don't have a Linkedin account.
If it is OK, I can advertise the course in the German CAD forum and also send an info to the German SWUG.

Really? Come on dude. You are getting a $100 training course for free. How much time did you waste with this "convoluted" process? If you spent more than an hour, you won't have the chops to comprehend the course anyway. If less than an hour, that's a rate of more than $100 per hour. Is that what you pull as a retired dude puttering around on a Bambu 3D printer?

Also, to get any value from the course, you're going to be spending a heck of a lot more time learning than it took you to sign up. Are you going to get all impatient about that too? "Why are you wasting all my time with these training videos? Just make me know the stuff automatically!"

Sheesh.
