      I purchased Xcel's Property and Casualty course in late 2023 for $400, specifically choosing them for their advertised "at your own pace" learning model, which suited my work schedule. Over the following months, I diligently completed 9 out of 19 chapters, even paying $200 in extension fees to accommodate my study breaks necessitated by working two jobs. However, upon logging in recently, I discovered that all my progress had been erased. I learned that **** had switched dashboards and, according to their website, any incomplete work before 12/31/2024 was lost.Despite customer service's claim of email notifications regarding this critical transition, I received no such communication. Their website also mentioned dashboard notifications, which I actively used. The representative could not provide proof of these emails and offered no solution other than repurchasing the course. My request to speak with a manager for a resolution, like a partial refund or credit, was denied. ****'s failure to adequately communicate this platform change and the resulting loss of my work directly contradicts their "at your own pace" promise and has unjustly cost me significant time and $600. I seek a fair resolution, including a refund or reinstatement of my progress.

      Business Response

      Date: 05/23/2025

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that you have experienced regarding your Property and Casualty course. Upon review of your information, we can confirm that your account was migrated to the new dashboard in December of 2024, and notified of this action prior via email and via the student dashboard in your account. We understand this may be an inconvenience for you, but we are unable to reinstate your course progress due to regulatory requirements and restrictions. To assist in helping you continue your education, we are happy to add a new Property and Casualty course to your account at no charge as a refund is not available for this situation. You will need to restart this and complete it within 30 days. Any additional time needed would require a paid extension.  

      We appreciate your understanding regarding this matter. Please reach out if you have any additional questions or need assistance.

      That took some training at Excel solutions and almost all of those reading and if you read for comprehension you're not going to remember enough of it to pass the test. There was some review videos but it was a light review of what was studied it did not cover a thorough review of what was studied. I passed the certification test for my state but it was only because I took the practice test over and over and over and over again. I did not learn the material well enough to pass the state exam to get my license in property and casualty. I want a refund because the training was an adequate there was no better than just reading out of a book. You cannot retain enough just reading in order to pass that test at least I can't. I want a refund.

      The complaint is this I did not get adequate training to prepare me for the state examination it was no more effective than reading a book it did not produce proper retention of the material so that I could pass the state exam I did pass a certification exam but that was only because I took the exam over and over and over and over again until I had memorized the answers to the certification exam otherwise I wouldn't have passed it either. I want a refund of my money the training was inadequate.

      Thank you for the valuable feedback provided. 

      Regarding your statement about the company offering video-based courses, we previously had a subsidiary that provided such courses, but that subsidiary was sold years ago. Your refund request was denied per our policy, as the course was fully completed, a certificate was issued, and the information was uploaded to the state. The P&C course primarily consists of reading materials rather than videos. However, you previously took the L&H course, which is predominantly video based. 

      We appreciate your feedback on the course. I will share your concerns with our Product department.

      On 12/19/24, you emailed us again to request another name change, this time to your legal name, "******* ******." At that time, the Team Member advised you to call our support team, as the name had already been updated once. Following this call, the Customer Service Representative you spoke with updated your name on the account as requested. 

      Given that our team fulfilled your requests at each step, we regret to inform you that we cannot accommodate your request for a 50% refund. We wish you the best in your educational journey.

      I paid Xcel Solutions for an online course several weeks ago. The course is about preparing the *********************** exam. I completed the course with the provided intense reading materials and stimulator questions timely and passed the state exam Monday 9/16/2024. Sunday 9/15/2024, the day before the scheduled exam, extra 1200 exercise questions were added/loaded/popped up in my profile/account at their website stating that it won't cost me additional fees/charges and it will help me improve the opportunity of passing the state exam. Xcel Solutions called the said questions the **** courses on top of what I was originally paid and enrolled. Part of the state licensing process is that I need to prove the completion of said online course by filling the affidavit/certification to the state. Now Xcel solutions is holding my affidavit/certificate and refuse to release it because their website states that I did not complete said 1200 questions which requires 80% passing score. For your info, the state exam has 155 questions. It took me three hours. With 1200 questions, I would need to take my work days off to complete and that doesn't make any sense. Also Xcel Solutions places a deadline/expiration date against my account with short notes and I need to pay extra if I need to extend the materials. I emailed Xcel Solutions twice since Sunday. They don't reply. I called them three times last several days and was placed on extensive hold by their voice machine for 1+ hours each attempt with the longest one for 2 hours. It looks nobody is working in their backup office at all. It is ridiculous. I need the affidavit/certificate to move on my licensing/registration so that I can do insurance business at my workplace. Xcel Solutions should release the affidavit/certificate and send it to me right away.

      Thank you for the valuable feedback provided. 

      We are unable to release your affidavit and certificate due to the following requirements: 

      CA Insurance Pre-license Course - Required Study Hours 
      Life, Accident & Health 52 hours (includes 12 hours of ethics with Anti-Fraud Training) 
      Certification Information Requirement: 
      20 hours per line of authority plus 12 hours of ethics 

      As of 9/30/24 You have only provided 47 hours, 12 minutes 34 seconds. The next step is to finish the course and spend 52 hours within the course. After this your affidavit will be available.
