Course pacing is terrible and too slow, do not have time to wait

Hello, I am the founder and CTO of a small business that is using MongoDB. I want to be able to learn the chapter 2 materials about the mongo query language, but they are arbitrarily locked until Nov, 19. I need solutions for my business TODAY!!! I am willing to pay money to unlock the videos, but that is not an option. So I will never be returning to your stupid site, your terrible business sense has cost you a would be paying customer.

@Alexander_Barry_06803 I don’t believe that these free courses are intended to be a direct revenue stream for MongoDB. If you want to unlock the coming week’s lectures before the official start date, you must have completed all labs and quizzes, and watched all the videos otherwise it will stay locked.
The courses range from beginner level (i.e. MongoDB Basics) to more advanced topics (i.e. Security, Diagnostics and Debugging, Data Modelling, Aggregation Pipeline) to name but a few. I’ve taken all courses except the MongoDB Basics course and I would very much doubt that what is contained in a beginner course would be sufficient for your business needs.

There are other websites that provide paid courses that are available all the time - you could have a look at Udemy, Udacity, Courseera.

Lastly, if there’s something specific that you need help with, ask your questions here and someone (students or Support Engineers) might be able to help/guide you. That’s the idea behind the discussion board.

As 007_jb writes you do not need to stick with the pace - you cannot be slower but you can be faster and unlock next chapters and everything even first week.
Also you do not need to take only one or two courses.
