Computer Security Risk Just Not Worth It
As an IT security professional, I was disappointed to learn after the purchase that Berlitz' online courses require Adobe Flash. Flash has been recognized for years as inherently insecure. Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla (Firefox) have deprecated the use of Adobe Flash and have all announced some time ago that their support for Flash will be ending. A cursory review of Flash's poor security track record will readily demonstrate why all major browser developers have elected to take that path. I requested a refund without so much as looking at the first course from Berlitz. I use my laptop for online banking and paying bills. For me, the risk just wasn't worth the benefit from taking a Berlitz course.
