I ordered the online course and the printed materials. There were countless emails asking for the materials to be mailed. I was asked for my address even though it was on the order form. Had to continually follow up and the materials were not mailed out until over a week after ordering. Will see if I even get them before the exam. read more

After countless lost efforts to attempt mediation with Rock the Diploma and having very little trust in their business I have taken it upon myself to write a scathing review with in depth detail. I feel that writing a yelp review provides so much more anonymity than writing a Facebook review where I'm able to be harassed by the team working for RTD Learning. I actually enjoyed the Biology 30 class and the professor was interesting and very insightful and loaded the entire class with tons of valuable information for the upcoming diploma. Fast forward to my next diploma preparation class to Science 30 taught by Mr. Ferguson. I've had the great fortune to sit with many great teachers and all of whom inspired me to excel and push myself to limits I didn't think I was capable of. This teacher however takes a different route. Instead of commanding dignified respect from his students he cracks jokes about sex, his wife constantly, drinking on the weekends, going out dancing, how he had a rough night out on the town the night prior. What makes it so uncomfortable was that this teacher literally pulled two guys aside from our class (during our class) to talk about some HOT girl a teacher of the two boys has as a daughter and how amazing she looks and she's smoking hot and proceeded to show pictures of her on his cell phone and then told these two young men that his wife works with her as a Disney Princess...... All of his jokes were geared towards the men in the room. They were mostly jokes about sex, getting girls, innuendos and other off topic jokes geared to get the guys in the class to like him. I'm not alone in thinking that is NOT how a teacher should behave. I looked around the classroom at this moment and I could see countless other women seated near me holding their hands to their foreheads and rolling their eyes at him. A few of us spoke after walking out on his last day quite early and people literally laughed their way out of the room and said "well now were fuc**d". This teacher not only didn't come prepared for the Diploma Prep Class but also handed out copied work from a previous Diploma Prep teacher with outdated information/wrong information and pieces missing from the booklets. Bypassing entire sections of our work books because he rambled on too often and didn't stick to our syllabus and had to rush forward. I've asked for a full refund and basically was promised a refund for this class and it was not provided. I expressed my distaste for the situation, professor and conduct immediately. Nothing has been acknowledged and none of my money has been refunded. I was a high 89 student and after taking Rock The Diploma I received a grade of 55. The last day of this diploma prep course was the day prior to my exam. I went into my exam filled with information from a teacher who cracked jokes and checked his cell phone more than actually teaching the class. It was aggravating and distracting. The booklet I had studied rigorously for 5 days while in the prep class was filled with outdated information and poorly constructed. I feel this threw off my entire previous efforts and brought down my GPA average to a point where I have to retake this class to be considered at any reputable school. I will never recommend to anyone to take Rock The Diploma and most of all the teacher Mr. Ferguson should be ashamed at his sexist and condescending remarks about women/towards women. Rock the Diploma did not take my concern seriously and gave me passive response e-mails with no result. This review is to warn other students that in my personal opinion. Your money is better spent hiring a private diploma tutor and studying in unit sections. ******************** Disclaimer: Mr. Ferguson provides a service as a Diploma Preparation teacher for HIRE and it's within the rules of YELP to have the right to provide his name specifically.

I used rock the diploma for three courses in January and found this program to be just so amazing. And as I beat my class mark on both exams I took their classes for, I just had to give a shout out. For English I had Ms. Parker and she was so passionate about the subject; very funny and energetic. The time in her class flew by, if anything I wish the course was a bit longer as she provided feedback for most student's practice writing. I thought this was my best subject but Ms. Parker taught me so much about setting up an essay I went into my exam with so much more confidence Math 30-1 was with Dean Walls, hands-down the best math teacher I've ever had. He made the class so memorable with great stories and memory tricks, and speaking of which I kid not he learned the name of every student in the class! (and it was big) Dean was just amazing, and his assistant Pat was great too, I'm not always the best in math and she really helped me keep up. Love might be a strong word for a math class - but I might have loved this class! I believe that RTD has some great teachers and I'll definitely be back in June! read more
