CLICK HERE IF YOU ARE JUST GETTING STARTED

Taking up the course (or any future courses) is easy.

Just click on the COURSES link on the top navigation menu (directly linked here) and it will redirect you to the Courses page that lists down what is currently available.

The courses are laid out and configured to make your learning experience as exciting and easy as possible. You will notice that each level of the course follows the same layout format as the rest to help you quicly familiarize with this learning system.

You should be able to -

  • track your over-all course progress (at the lower area of the Overview page for that course)
  • easily identify the navigation to reach and jump to other lessons (via the right sidebar menu),
  • have a way to track your progress for each course level (above the right sidebar menu),
  • have a way to bookmark levels that you want to quickly reach (on the top area of the lesson contents for that level),
  • and navigate to previous and after lessons that are right next to the one you are viewing at any given time (at the bottom of the lesson contents for that level).

WHY IS MY COURSE PROGRESS GONE?

Our team migrated the course progress of all members last February 23, 2023 in preparation for other aspects required to have a smoothest transition possible into this new learning management system.

Technically, this meant transferring over 33,300 database entries (where each entry corresponds to one requirement to complete a lesson). 

Thus, if you logged in and took any level of the course after our February 23 migration, then your progress was not recorded just on this new system just yet.

NEVERTHELESS, there is nothing to worry about. We are currently working on restoring the course progress from that date up to the present for those who accessed the within that one-month period (more or less).

If in case you want to expedite this process for your account, please do not hesitate to contact us via our Customer Support form.

IMPORTANT: Please note that there are levels that have been modified so that the previous outline of contents and requirements to complete were not the same anymore as the old course site.

These could be (1) downloadable documents that were previously not flagged as requirements to complete but were being tracked now or (2) audios to listen to, which were previously offered as downloadable audio files.

This means even if you have completed those levels in the past, you will find them to still be incomplete on this new system.

HOW DO I RESET MY COURSE PROGRESS?

QUICK ANSWER: Each level has a RESTART MY LESSON button on the upper right hand area of the page. Clicking this will permanently erase your progress for that level so you can start anew.

I FORGOT MY PASSWORD, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
There are three (3) ways to recover from a lost or forgotten password and log into your account.

OPTION 1: The first one is by using the Snappy Login Link™ system.

It is a clickable link on the Login page (directly linked here), right below and to the left of the LOGIN button.

Simply click that link that says "Send me a Snappy Login Link™ instead" and it will redirect to a form that will ask you to fill up your email address.

A special link will then be generated and sent to your email address.

Clicking that link from the email you receive will allow you to login without supplying your password.

OPTION 2: The second way is by clicking the Lost your password? link found to the right of the "Send me a Snappy Login Link™ instead" text link or to the right and below the LOGIN button on the Login page.

Once clicked, it will redirect to a form that will also ask you to fill up your email address. That email will contain a link that you need to click to be able to change your password.

OPTION 3: If all else fails, then please send us a customer support request (through this link) and we will send you a temporary password to log you in at the earliest time possible.

HOW DO I LOGIN EVEN WITHOUT A PASSWORD?
Logging in without a password could be done by using the Snappy Login Link™ system.

It is a clickable link on the Login page (directly linked here), right below and to the left of the LOGIN button.

Simply click that link that says "Send me a Snappy Login Link™ instead" and it will redirect to a form that will ask you to fill up your email address.

A special link will then be generated and sent to your email address.

Clicking that link from the email you receive will allow you to login without supplying your password.

HOW DO I RESET MY PASSWORD?

If you are currently logged out, resetting your password could be done by clicking the Lost Password link from the Login page (directly linked here), right below the LOGIN button.

If you are logged in, resetting your password could be done by clicking the My Account / Profile on the top navigation menu item or you could access it directly by clicking this link. Doing so while logged in will require that you supply your current password and the new password that you have chosen.

WHERE DO I FIND MISSING EMAILS FROM YOU?
OPTION 1: If you are using an Email Client application (like the Mail app on Mac OS or MS Outlook on Windows OS), look for the search box or search icon (on the upper right corner if using Mail app or on the topmost menu bar on Outlook) of the app so that you would be able to search for keywords or strings on emails. This will list down a set of emails that has those strings.

Once there, you should try searching for the following strings:

  • Dee Bills
  • Front Office GURU
  • Snappy
  • Login link
  • Password Reset
  • Any other keyword you want to look for from my emails to you.

Make sure to also double check the dates to find the one most appropriate to your search query.

OPTION 2: If you are using a different email app (like GMAIL), chances are they also have a search box that you could use in the same manner.

OPTION 3: There is this common scenario where email applications tend to move certain emails into the SPAM folder - depending on the way the app's security measures are defined. That said, it is always a good habit to check your SPAM folder if you cannot find a missing email.

OPTION 4: In certain strange cases, some emails go to the JUNK folder, so please try looking there as well.

OPTION 5: If all else fails, feel free to send us a customer support request via this link.

Payments for your enrolled course(s) is handled using Stripe's API (via Stripe Connect) - thus the security measure that are enforced for online payments within this website are the same ones that they use.

Below are some more details taken from Stripe's article about their security.

A PCI-certified auditor has audited Stripe. We’re a certified PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, we use the best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security at Stripe.

Sensitive data and communication encryption

All card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons can obtain plain text card numbers but can request that cards are sent to a service provider on a static allowlist.
