You do have the opportunity to pay for more in-depth assistance for a nominal fee. Seems like they offer a lot of info for that.

However, just the free workshop had a ton of info.

Supporting clients is their top priority

If you’re planning for college while your child is still in high school or younger, this program can be incredibly helpful—especially if you own multiple homes or businesses. I discovered it a little later, when my son had just started his freshman year of college, hoping to find ways to save moving forward. As a single mom with one home and a traditional employer, I was initially skeptical since my son and I had already done much of the legwork and he was already attending college.
However, Mike personally reached out to understand our situation and worked with us to identify potential tuition savings. I was genuinely impressed by the level of care and commitment to ensuring families feel supported and well taken care of.

“SCAM ALERT” This “company” is a scam. The present you with a “live” person bootcamp, sound convincing, they get you and your money with false promises and then you get….nothing
The worse is that you get stuck taking to an automated email with no solution or refund.
I will start a claim with the company a used for payment, due to services not received.

The workshop was very informative. There's an overwhelming amount of information parents need especially when financial aid is extremely needed. I feel much better knowing the guidance I will receive now that I've purchased the Boot Camp. It has reduced my stress and guilt for not properly planning for my daughter's college. Thank you Yorkshire!

A negative initial experience changed to a positive one after my review

I attended a session where some strategies were discussed. Upon reviewing them with financial planner/CPA none of the strategies are viable. I emailed Yorkshire twice and no one responded and I requested a refund and no one has responded to that either. I then joined a webinar and they removed me from the webinar.

Update - I did attend bootcamps, live session and sent multiple emails to the support email address, so it is not accurate to say there was no good faith to attend.
Update 2 - I'm pleased to say Mike Escobar has personally made right of the issue, during this stressful period with individualized advice and offered to check in periodically. I would like to change my rating from 1 start to 4 stars

Reply from Yorkshire College Planning

Hi Sonali - you have been provided with a full refund, even though you are outside the 45-day refund window. We have given this refund in good faith. After personally reaching out to you, it has been my pleasure to learn more about your scenario and assist with planning for your very bright son!

Glad I signed on

The more I listen, the more I realize that going this college route for our kids alone is just a bad idea. My daughter is in already in college and I really feel that we will be able to receive more aid based on the strategies that have been outlined.

An excellent use of my time... lots of value in the free webinar!

An excellent use of time! I appreciated how Gabe sign-posted at the beginning that there would be a 'pitch' at the end and then proceeded to dive into an hour's worth of valuable information at a breakneck speed. There was so much information provided in the FREE webinar, and lots of useful FREE resources shared in the chat at the appropriate time, and lots of questions answered FREELY in the chat. That demonstrated a ton of value to me before I had to pay for anything. Since the target audience (based on the FB group they run), is high-income families, one way to calculate value is to take how much you earn in an hour, divide the cost of the program by your hourly wage, and determine if those hours are worth it to you to not have to figure this all out yourself and perhaps make some costly mistakes. That math certainly worked for me and I signed up! Aside from buying your home, this is probably the largest purchase you will ever make, so it only makes sense to be as well-equipped to make that decision as possible. At least give the free webinar a go, you will definitely learn something you didn't know before. You only do the college search and financial aid search a couple of times in your life (i.e., based on how many college-bound kids you have), why not tap into the expertise of those who have done it hundreds (or thousands) of times before you? I certainly look forward to learning more!
