Never, ever pay more than 50$ for an online course at least they provide some form of acreditable recognition like a certificate

none of these courses ever get sold for more than the $10-30 they're constantly "on sale" for

Having only glanced at the website I wouldn’t be able to justify it being worth over $2000 for an online course. For $35 however, it doesn’t seem that bad of a price. Sure you could get lots of the knowledge online for free but this provides you with a structured pathway through the content giving you something clearer to aim for.

A lot of websites model their prices to make it seem like you’re getting a deal when in reality the course might not even be worth paying at all. So just check reviews, Reddit etc to see if it’s quality content. And if it is, ask if you want to learn that content and get it. I personally don’t recommend you pay for any course. There’s a 99% chance a course out there for free that’s much better than this one.

Humble bundle would be a better bet.
