PDH Library

Website:  http://www.pdhlibrary.com/

State approval:  Click throughs provide a pre-approval letter from the state of Maryland

Fee Structure: At least one course identical to a course available on cedengineering.com ($72) is available here for $29 (just a coincidence that I saw it both places – I did not do a thorough check for all duplicate courses).  I see courses as low as $5 per credit hour. Most are $10 per hour

Ease of use: Limited use of categories make sorting and searching more time consuming than it needs to be.

Course variety: Limited water related courses available, not easy to search for them.

Course materials: A lot of course materials are copyrighted 2014, appear to be prepared specifically for the course.

Course instructors: Most water courses appear to be prepared by the same instructor, but you have to click through each course to identify the instructor.  I only did a spot check for this.

Course ratings: not provided

Course packages: no

Personal experience: I have not taken a course with this company.

Preview course material: Yes

It may be worth it to check individual courses on this site to see if they are cheaper than the equivalent course offered on another site.

  1. I appreciate the review. It always helps to know what features are most important to our customers. Based on this review and the fact that our website is slowly growing we have implemented some nice filters so that our users can narrow down their course search. We started in the civil engineering section and that one is up and running. Will soon move on to Structural and a few of the other course categories that have enough courses to justify filtering. I realized after reading your review that some of our course lists had become pretty long so this should help with the ease of use.

    Speaking of ease of use!!! Our website is now mobile phone friendly. And we accept payment either BEFORE or AFTER completing the course quiz. Navigation of our website is about as simple as it gets.

    Our course selection is expanded but this is going to be the next are we invest in. We plan on significantly increasing the amount of courses we offer in the following months.

    So please feel free to visit https://www.pdhlibrary.com again in the future and check out our improvements. If you feel we have improved I would appreciate it if you could do another review of our website.
