Sylvie is one of the most generous

Sylvie is one of the most generous, connected and genuinely caring people in business I know. Always giving of herself to others (sometimes to her own detriment). Recommended without hesitation. The world needs more Sylvies. 🙏❤️

Helpful course in so many ways!

I’m so appreciative of Sylvie, Hannah and Courses for Health Professionals. 6-8 months ago I started to investigate the different ways I could make residual income and Sylvie's course ad kept popping up on Facebook for me. I never fathomed that a person with NICU experience could do an online course that's scalable with Neonatology being so specialized, 1:1 care, and so hands on… I was curious- how could I POSSIBLY do something virtual!? But with this course I realized I have SO MUCH I can offer in the online course space of the metaverse.

I now have an informative prenatal and postnatal program outlined, a FB group, and an email list I regularly message.
I've learned different marketing strategies and have been on several podcast episodes with more coming up. I've started a blog and have gained confidence in sales calls although I still have some work to do with that! Most importantly I've gained the CONFIDENCE that I can make this happen with my continued perseverance and positive attitude.

This course gave me great base and building blocks to create something amazing and it has opened my eyes to new possibilities. I’ve started to dream and dream big for my family. I have recognized that I hang on to a few limiting beliefs and there are many things I need to work on mentally and organizationally but I’m not going to stop until I make something of this. Sylvie and her team's encouragement and feedback have put me on a great path and I’m so thankful.

disappointed

I honestly never leave critical reviews, but in this case it feels warranted. I finished Sylvie McCracken's Courses for Health Professionals a few months ago and was very disappointed in my experience. At $7500, I really expected a lot more and higher quality content and coaching.

I'll say first that there is some value and helpful tips in the content, and it does appear that some of her students have success, I personally regretted the purchase.

There was almost no support on actual content creation, just one very brief video on making a slideshow. I personally wanted a lot more in this area.

You basically end up getting about 10-15 minute sound bites from coaches each week (in addition to live group calls) which has *some* value but not what I would have expected for so much money. Similarly, I found the modules to be a bit minimal in the content they provided and you do not have access to them after the program ends ( I knew this ahead of time)

There is only one type of marketing technique on one platform taught, and the tactic didn't really resonate with me, and I had a hard time getting high quality answers or alternatives in any of the coaching on this.

She recycled videos and coaching calls from older programs, so I had to fast forward through irrelevant q+a's from other programs, she even repurposed a coaching q+a call from when I was enrolled and then presented part of that same call as content in a later module that hadn't been released yet.

by the time I was ready to start creating or marketing my course (and I did fall a bit behind because I moved in the middle of program) the program was over. the program would have been better structured for me if we had worked on course creation and marketing from the start, perhaps they have made improvements in this area.

again, some ppl seem to like and get a lot out of this program, so decide for yourself. Part of the issue for me was that the strategies didn't end up being the right fit for me personally, but that could be totally different for someone else.

The team did reach out and offer additional access to the program and coaching when they found out I wasn't satisfied, so that speaks volumes to the fact that they want to deliver success. It also looks like they've added 1:1 coaching sessions to the program which would be a huge improvement from what my experience was.

Hi there!

We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with Courses for Health Professionals™, and we appreciate your feedback. We have updated CHP quite a bit since the beginning of 2022 including adding more support for every client to tackle any questions you may have in developing your program.

While every one of our clients processes the CHP content at a different pace, it is our goal that you will market and create the content for your program within your time with us. However, we also understand that life events can often take priority during this time, and we’re always more than happy to accommodate when that happens.

Regarding enrollment, it's important to us that we never take on more clients than our coaches are able to support. So while we do rolling admissions, we do both early decisions as well as open and close enrollment depending on our coach-to-client ratio. For instance, we have 4 spots open now; but when that goes to zero, we need to close doors until some clients graduate. We often don't know that ahead of time since some clients choose to renew with us. Hope that helps clarify. :)

We would love to be able to help you get the most out of your investment and help you create and launch your program asap! Please email us at support@sylviemccracken.com so we can help whether it’s with access to our advanced training, extending your support at no additional fee, etc.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to help you.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

I've been a nurse for 8 years and I enjoy critical care so much but my journey wasn't easy and I've had this burning desire to make it easier for other nurses. I had the drive to do it but needed the SYSTEM to follow to make it happen. I'm only 2 months into the program and already have my program rolling with 3 paying clients! Carving out the time to create my program around my family and nursing hasn't been easy but it's 100% been worth it.

Leap of Faith That Paid Off

When the pandemic hit and my 1:1 practice had to shut down overnight it was a huge wake-up call. My partner and I are both self-employed and all of a sudden found ourselves also having to homeschool our first grader. "Overwhelmed" is an understatement. I had all the hesitations (don't have the $, don't have the time, and not really sure I have the expertise to create a course or program). If you had told me then that in a little over a year I would have gone from $0 to my first $48k month online, paid off $60k in debt, and bought a car in cash I would have laughed. The money is great but the most rewarding part is being witness to how the program I created is transforming my client’s lives. It wasn't easy or overnight and the Mom guilt was real given how much time I had to carve out to make this happen. I'm glad I took the leap of faith and got resourceful. The freedom to be able to work from wherever and create a future where my work schedule is around my family is priceless.

Fantastic program and team to work with! I enjoyed my time with Sylvie and the Team during the 8 weeks Course for Health Professionals program and learned so much! Her strategy works. Apply now! It’s a great move. I felt supported and encouraged as I worked through the program. The coaching calls were well organized and efficient. A wise investment to create a life you want to live.

Don’t do it. Better courses out there

Sylvie’s 8 week “Ebook Engines” course is $7000 and consists of a few pre-recorded videos, weekly group zoom calls and a couple 10 minute check-ins with a “mindset coach” who was completely unhelpful.

I felt high-pressure from the sales person on the phone. When I expressed doubt on the phone, the sales person threatened to revoke the “offer” to join the course and said the price would go up to $13,000 if I didn’t buy right then. She also guilted me by saying “we normally don’t even schedule a phone call when someone expresses doubt like you.” Shameful. So I succumbed to the pressure and bit. But after truly throwing myself into the program and working my but off, trying to get the most out of it, I can honestly tell you a year and a half later that it’s the biggest financial mistake I’ve ever made.

There was no satisfaction guarantee, no refund policy - nothing. I’ve also talked to fellow alumni who said they were refused a partial refund and banned from the Facebook group. Clearly if Sylvie’s course was any good, there would be a satisfaction guarantee or at least a good faith effort at customer support. But there’s no transparency, no accountability, nothing.

Furthermore, the course merely shows you how to create an eBook, but does not provide any substantive info on how to market and sell it, aside from a couple throwaway video modules encouraging you to contact possible affiliates. I discovered after doing my own work & research that the steps, software and resources Sylvie recommends in her course are also inefficient, out of date, and not based on real results.

In retrospect, I’ve gotten much better info from true experts online for free. Sadly I put myself $7000 in the hole for this program. A year and a half later, after working extremely hard, I still have not recouped the money from ebook sales. That should tell you about the quality of this program and the results you can expect.

I’m saddened and disgusted by the unethical sales and marketing tactics Sylvie and her team use for this sham of a course. In my honest opinion, the course is probably worth about $200.

In fact, last year I took SamCart’s “One Page Funnel Masterclass for $1000 and got 10 x the value for a fraction of the price. If you want to learn how to make money online (including creating digital products like ebooks) There are so many better, more reasonably priced courses out there from true experts who are also ethical and genuinely care about your success and satisfaction.

Next time I ever spend $7000 on myself, I’ll make sure it’s someone who’s the real deal, and a premium experience worthy of that price tag.

I hope this review helps you not make the same mistake that I and so many others have made. Don’t do it.

Don't waste your money!

In 2018 I signed up for the Sylvie McCrackens EBook Engines 8 week course. It is still the worst mistake I have made to date. The course was 8 weeks long and consisted of short weekly pre-recorded online videos, and a weekly online group session with Sylvie. During the 8 weeks you are expected to reach certain milestones pre-set by Sylvie and her team. You are given the opportunity to send in "help tickets" as often as you like, but it typically took 2 days to get a response. During the weekly group session with Sylvie, you will get a max of 10-15 mins to ask her questions about your progress. You also get access to a private FB group where you can ask other members for guidance or encouragement.

All of this would be totally fine if the price tag was reasonable for what you are getting, but in my opinion, it is far from that. The course I took was and insane $7,000 for the 8 weeks. For that kind of money you can hire a personal business coach. Someone who is working with you 1 on 1 the entire time. In this course you get maybe 2 hrs of 1 on 1 (in a group setting) time with Sylvie total for the entire 8 weeks!! And all of the information that she provides to you in the "modules" is something that people are giving away for free on many YouTube videos. In my opinion, there is nothing that her course provides that you can't find on your own for free on the internet.

In addition to the insane price tag, the sales tactics used to get you to sign up for the program were appalling in my opinion. I was told that I had to make a decision right there and then on the phone or the price would go up to $13,000!!!!! I was made to feel like saying no would be the biggest mistake of my life. When I said I couldn't commit to the price, I felt bullied into signing up for the program. Think timeshare or car salesman experience. If her services are so amazing, and what she is offering is so valuable, then she shouldn't have to utilize these tactics to get clients. Since posting my review on Yelp last year, I have gotten multiple messages from other disappointed people telling me that they wished they had seen my review prior to signing up. There are now more reviews on Yelp from other people with similar complaints.

If I hadn't been so desperate to find a way of reaching the "American Dream", then I would have never fallen victim to this experience. I felt like my desperation and vulnerability was prayed upon and used against me.

I can only hope that my reviews will help other people avoid the mistake that I made. Back then there were no reviews available, and I was the first one to speak up. Because I complained I was removed from the FB group, and my access to all course materials was denied. So I was left with a $7000 payment and nothing to show for it. I tried to share my grievances with Sylvie and ask for at least a partial refund for the program, but I was denied. When I complained about feeling like the program was falsely advertised, all communication was directed to her lawyer, which I believe was meant to intimidate me. It was made clear that my signing of the contract prior to starting the program left no room for complaints or reimbursement. The only purchase I have ever made in my life where a business could have cared less about my grievances, and refused to make things right. Do your research before considering any services from her. And I second other reviews saying to double and triple check the contract that she makes you sign. It is her get out of jail ticket!

Hi Lea!

We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your time during the Ebook Engines™ program.

We are sorry to hear that you have had an unpleasant experience with the sales call, and for that, we will definitely update our training with our sales team to ensure quality conversations in the future.

Please also know that the reason you got a response from our legal team versus our coaching team is because you reached out for a refund many months after graduating from our program with multiple emails from our coaching team going unanswered.

Because the nature of your email was a demand for a refund of services you received almost a year prior in lieu of not posting a negative review, which constitutes blackmail, there is no way to handle this communication without an attorney.

We welcome honest reviews even if that includes criticism and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts so that we can continue to improve our services, and we wish you continued success and prosperity.

MORE THAN A COACH!

Sylvie is genuine, knowledgeable, and caring. The coaching I have received from Sylvie, and her team, has not only positioned me for levels of success in my business that I could have never achieved on my own, but it has brought me personally to level of "strength" and happiness that I had forgotten was possible. I cannot recommend Sylvie McCracken highly enough!!
