I wanted to take 2 classes at a cc to qualify for a program at work. I have multiple degrees. It's a 200 dollar and 100 hour commitment for six months to give me a 15k raise.
I tried to apply through this new and improved portal and it would not let me. I had three separate it people help me. No browser or device or cookie setting would allow me to apply.
After a week someone very competent called me to solve the issue. Apparently my name is so common that on the initial account creation check to see if I've already registered an account didn't have enough unique information to differentiate me from other students.
I have been a daily reddit user since 2008. I had never seen a single Apollo ad or any discussion of Apollo.
Your search results are biased towards what you have browsed on Google.
Also you shouldn't be seeing ads with proper internet hygiene. Ublock origin, no script, vpn if you can. Res will strip out every reddit ad. And I'd highly recommend duck duck go or something more private than Google these days
