Lynda.com Training Videos
Post by Mickey O'neil »
Has anyone ever used this resource? I am thinking about using the free trial to go through the Revit training videos, but when I click on free trial it asks for my payment information for the $25/month after the free trial. How is this a free trial? Would I be able to cancel as soon as the free trial is up? Granted, it would be worth it to me to pay for one month, but I just am trying to understand the free trail deal.

It should charge you after the 30 days are up.
Pretty common practice in the name of "uninterrupted access/service".
Lynda.com's pretty cool. I went through some of their stuff some time ago before I started the gig I have now.

But can I cancel it after the free trial and not get charged? Or is it a "free trial" for $25? If I choose the monthly payment option can I cancel after just one month?

Sorry, should charge you for month 2 after month 1. You pay ahead of time, IIRC.
A monthly option should allow you to cancel, the finish out whatever term you've paid for.

No problem.
I think you just need to remember to cancel before the end of the month if you don't want to keep going.

Yes. They are legit, I used there service when I was working in IT. I was lucky, my account was paid for by my job. They have almost everything. I took all their Linux classes. Used to do it during downtime at the office while other assholes where playing Candy Crush.
