Apex Italian Academy review
An online Italian course with 120 units from A1 to C1, sold in plans from $15.30 for one month, where the short plans renew and the page and form disagree about the long ones.
Worth a look
For a language course with a clear structure of 120 units over five levels, the entry price is modest and the 60-day refund window on the form is comfortable. The weak points are billing and trust signals. The 1-month and 3-month purchases renew by themselves, the pricing page calls even the long plans recurring while the form shows them as one payment, and you would only learn which is true from your receipt. The About page counters (46 M+ learners, 60 K+ instructors, 644 M+ enrollments) look implausibly large and are not explained, the terms page is unedited WordPress sample text, and the contact e-mail spells the domain differently from the site. Use the free sign-up first, and if you buy, pick a plan you are ready to cancel.

Apex Italian Academy at a glance

The pricing page lists 120 real-life videos with different native accents, 120 grammar video lessons, interactive exercises such as listen-and-write and listen-and-repeat, and final assessment sessions, with immediate access in a browser.

The ClickBank order form charges $15.30 for one month and $39.35 for three months, and both renew automatically.

The home page also offers a free sign-up. The site names no legal entity, only the academy name and a contact page with a Bergamo address, a phone number and an e-mail.
