How come...

Hello! 100 lessons completed

...when my subscription runs out I am not able to access the material I have already accessed?

When I complete my current "real life" college course I will keep the course materials for future reference.

I personally would find it much more helpful to be able to do this on here. It would make me more likely to renew because I would see what I was missing as well as still being able to refer back to the lessons I had already viewed.

I currently can't afford to renew because of being a skint student!

I should point out I am not expecting to be able to gain access to new material without renewing my subscription, just that I have already viewed if that makes sense.

I guess it is just the Uni rules. After all $99 per year is not all that expensive - less than 3 cents a day. Minor when you think of what we get out of the uni. all those excellent videos and the odd new one, all the info and learning from forum with all the new and old threads to peruse, think about and/or respond to, the fun of being in contact with a world wide group of like minded people who care for horse, the ability to pose your own problems to this caring, thinking group and have their support and suggestions to help you through. I have now been a member for two years and did contemplate not rejoining this year but I would miss my world wide network of forum friends and the sharing of our problems and successes, the new videos and the contact with Monty and his Certified Instructors. I like being a Uni member! I am yet to find another Monty convert in my local area so I need my forum friends as we share similar views and I need their support when I am stuck or just when I feel excited about something of Monty's I have tried and it works. For example Cash - a great example of how effective Monty's methods are and that we can all learn to apply them. Cash was such a scared, neglected horse 6 months or so ago, abused in the past and terrified of humans but he has responded so excellently to Monty's training that now he is so very trusting and gentle and it seems as if he will be OK for riding. I have had so much more success with Cash than I ever had with my terrorised Pie and even Tricka and I believe that is because his personality is so gentle as he was so well bred but he was mistreated so badly and became scared and untouchable. We are now riding him in the little round yard - even trotted to-day and he has so far being perfect -touch wood! T he area is too small to do much so very soon I will try riding him in his paddock. That will be the real test as he still gets spooked occasionally. So bex if you can possibly afford it stay a member and continue to learn from the uni. - we will miss you if you leave but if you must take care and keep with Monty's methods.

I totally get where you are coming from, however my point remains that when I do my college course I am still able to refer back to the course material I have already got, and it would be helpful to be able to do this on here to make it more like a uni. I don't have the spare cash available at the moment so will be disappearing later today when my subscription does run out (again - only managed to get on this time because I found a code to give me a day's access which has helped me find something relevant to my coursework). I would like to be able to dip back in once in a while to just refer to material I have already seen and who knows, eventually I will be in a better situation to renew my subscription properly.

I understand where you are coming from bex but I guess the college courses are initially much more expensive than Monty's uni. All the same your idea is something the uni could think about.

Hi vicci,

Could you explain how to download the videos, please.
I'm not a very technical person, but would manage to follow your instructions...
Thanks,

Hi, well so much for my smart ideas! The facility has been removed! When I first jined, I downloaded them all, I had loads of them but then I didnt do any for a while, and now I have tried it cant be done! Sorry for the misinformation. When the video used to start playing an icon would come up on top right of the cideo saying download now - not there anymore! Sorry.

Will I be able to see what I have completed if I renew the subscription before it expires? Will I still be able to see it after it has expired?

Hi camilla.faye,
You will be able to see all videos if you renew the prescribtion before it expires, but not after it has expired. What you have completed is now part of your skills, come back to it as often as you can, as long as you're a subscriber.

I have checked this again - if you access the videos on a computer (not an ipad I dont think), when you play them you will see a link at the top right hand corner of the clip saying "Download here". This downlaods it into Real Player (if you don't have that you can get the basic version from the internet at no cost) - when you have downloaded it, rename it as whatver you want and you have the clip for life I think. Let us know how you get on.

Hi camilla.
For this question I suggest you go to "Support" at the left of any page of this Uni, and you usually get a response within 24 hours.
Now I wiil check out vicci's idea and I'll report my findings here!

Hi vicci,
I just downloaded Real Player for mac on my MacBook, still I don't find a link at the righthand corner of the video, maybe it doesn't work for mac....this is a pity!

I didn't either. Find the icon, I mean, and I don't have a mac, just a computer. But I agree, it would be great if we could keep the lessons if we have to drop out for some reason.

We just renewed the subscription. I really enjoy all the information available in this uni.

ok, just tested it again :-) slight refinement, your cursor HAS to be inside the vidoebox for it to show up, if you move the cursor outside the link disappears

hi, all the video's are available without membership on the video library so anyone can watch them, the same as for viewing the forum posts. Membership gives you the Money Roberts certificates to confirm that you have competed the training sessions and to have access to be part of the forum. Excellent value and connections who think alike :D

Hi vicci,
It just doesn't show up, even with the cursor inside the videobox!
Never mind, I'll just stay a member of this Uni anyway...

Got me curious since I have never seen a dl-link except for the sound file. At first I thought it was a "country-thing" - as in "only available in the US", but since vicci is in the UK that can't be it.
So I tested if it was a matter of Firefox vs. Explorer (I don't get the toggle bar for pause, volume etc in Firefox), but no such luck.
Can you post an actual link, vicci? Just so I can see if it works for me.
(Thinking of contacting support to get some clarity.)

I'm not sure how a link would do it Kicki but I'll try, it's odd that I'm the only one that can do this(my dad always told me I was special - maybe it's finally come true hahaah). However, I'll paste this link as one I have definately downloaded http://www.montyrobertsuniversity.com/training/2031188585 when the video comes up, the "Download this file" button with Real Player icon is in the top right hand side of the video. I use Internet Explorer and I'm on a PC

Hello!

Yes sometimes finances can get in the way. I pay monthly, as I have a small disability income. It always sad when people leave. As for being able to download content that you have already studied I understand. But in this day and age, you could share this with others, I am not saying you will but there are those that do. Also post them on you tube, so I can understand why access is limited. I do hope that you are able to renew once you get yourself sorted.

What I usually do is pay $99 on a yearly basis so I can keep what I've learned and see new material Monty's covering.

vicci, thanks for the link, but I am afraid I was unclear what link I was after.
What I was curious about was if there's an URL attached to the RealP-icon? If there is, it should come up when you right-click on the icon.

OK, thanks for trying, vicci! :)
I wonder now if this is related to a function in Real Player instead? I have an add-on that makes it possible to record YouTube vids - it's an arrow that appears on the YouTube page. I don't have RealPlayer on this laptop so I can't try it out though.
