Took my money and locked me out
By Gail B.
Response from New York Safety Council· Jul 17, 2026
Hi Gail! We took a look at your account and wanted to clear things up — your course wasn't locked out. It simply hadn't been started yet and was close to expiring, so we went ahead and reset it for you. You now have 30 more days to complete the course, and it's all ready and waiting for you to log in and give it a try! We hope you enjoy it. If you run into any questions or concerns along the way, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] — we're happy to help!
It was easy to follow, understandable and made a lot of sense. I also liked that I could start and stop when I got tired or needed to attend to something else and didn't have to start from the beginning.

Thank you so much, Donna! We're so glad the course was easy to follow and that the flexible format worked well for you — being able to pause and pick back up right where you left off is one of our favorite features too. We appreciate you sharing your experience!
The experience was very easy and I like that I could stop and then come back to finish if I needed to.

Thank you, John! That flexibility to stop and come back is something we know makes a real difference, and we're glad it worked well for you. Thanks for choosing New York Safety Council!
I took away one star because of the targeted advertising at the end. You SHOULD NOT give those other insurance companies access to our information, or at least make investigating them optional. This is supposed to be a learning opportunity, not a commercial venture. The course itself was very good.

Thank you for the feedback, Liz! We're sorry to hear that the experience at the end of the course wasn't what you expected — we completely understand your concern about privacy, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We're glad to hear the course itself was very good, and we'll make sure your feedback is shared with our team. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
