Stacey,
I just completed my first lesson this past week. I signed up to the course on Feb. 24th. My thing is, if students still have material to complete, adding the additional courses shouldn't make a difference. Two shipments is what, 5-6 lessons? You still many to go.
I will be contacting the school and inquiring about this as well. I too paid in full and don't really appreciate them making the change without informing current and future students. They had to know the curriculum was changing and when. They could've simply alerted us on their website that things were changing. They could have given us the option to take the new course or continue with the older version.
I did review the lessons and compared the two lesson versions. It appears that a couple of the lessons that are broken down into two lessons in the older course has become one lesson in the new course. There are also portions that are not included in the version that most of us purchased.
To me it's like buying something at full price and then a day or two later it's on sale. But instead of getting more, we've paid more and are getting less - not cool!
I will be contacting the school as well to see what's going on and what's up with the lack of communication to people who pay their hard earned money to educate themselves and enlisted the services of Ashworth to do it.
