How did The CE Shop rank so high?
The first reason is the 5 day free trial program. This allows you to try out the class. Any portion of the course that you complete during the trial period will be saved and credited to you when you purchase the non trial version.
Another reason is that they offer a 30 day full money back guarantee as long as less than 50% of the course has been completed. Because of the online nature of the school, they are able to offer free trials and guarantees that are not possible in a classroom setting. Having an ability to try the class out before you fully buy gives the student the peace of mind to jump right in and get started on the course.
Extensions are also available if you take longer than the 6 month period allowed to complete the course for a minimal fee.

Lets explain what the 4 packages include, the Course Only, Standard, Value and Premium.
- The course only package is the base package and only includes the core required course hours.

- The value package adds a business building course to the required hours and exam prep.
