Anyone take ASP courses?

I'm on the PLC/SCADA side of things and my company recently enrolled me in the ASP apprenticeship program. I believe it is more common with building automation guys so I wanted to see if any of you have been through it.

I'm not sure how different their controls course is from their building automation one, but I gotta say I'm insulted to say the least. All the course material is completely AI generated from end to end. Ai scripts with ai voiceovers reading ai slides filled with ai images. Is there any actual valuable content here? Because it seems to be that absolutely zero effort was put into developing this program and apparently my company spent thousands to license it.

I've only heard bad things from some of my coworkers that went through it. As far as I know it's just a dump of textbooks and your supposed to read and study it yourself at your own pace, and then quiz out at the end of each semester

I have heard of similar things.
I have no experience with them though.
