Registration & Privacy
  • Why do I need to register on your site to use your services?

    Just like universities, colleges, schools and traditional training/seminar institutions require students to register to attend classes and other learning events, we need you to register yourself at MaxKnowledge to participate in our online learning community. The information required for registration is very minimal. We ask you to make up a username and password for yourself to be able to login to the site. We need your full name to be able to award you certificates and CEUs for completing our online courses. We also need your email address to allow our faculty and staff to communicate with you as needed. Apart from that, we collect information on job functions, institution types, and states/countries so we could tailor our educational and training services to meet the needs of our users.

  • Is there a cost for registration?

    No. Registration is absolutely free and allows you to access our public forums and a large selection of soft skills tutorials - all for free! As a registered user, you will also receive invitations to our free webinars. The purchase of Enrollment Keys is required only for access to our online courses.

  • Do you distribute my registration information to third parties?

    Your information will be available to our faculty and staff who may need to communicate with you through email. We only list your name and state/country on the participants list in each course (think of it as a name tag that identifies you when you attend a traditional course, seminar, workshop or conference). This is only to create a sense of learning community among our participants. Your email address and other information in your registration profile are not provided to other participants. Please review our Terms of Service for a full description of our privacy policy.

These interactions occur in an asynchronous format in the course discussion forums and represent an integral part of our online courses.
