Argus Training & Certification

I want to get Argus trained and certified. I see that Altus Group offers a bundle for the self-education program, access to Argus for two months, and the certification test all included at a reasonable price (vs the Argus course being offered at my university, which is tied to tuition and thus pretty pricey... also doesn't come with the test fee included either). 

Has anyone gone through the Altus Group's Argus Enterprise bundle? How difficult would it be for someone completely new to Argus to handle the learning curve without a course instructor?

I got Argus certification so long ago that it is honestly a bit strange to think about, but I remember the program being 90%-95% intuitive. This was the old DCF and not AE or whatever the most recent version is, and there were some quirks you had to be careful of, but otherwise it worked like it should. We had like a week long class in grad school and I remember being bored most of the time. 

You can definitely learn 90%-95% of it on your own and then find youtube videos or ask questions for what doesn't come naturally. I feel like passing the test is 70%? 75%? 80%? Something like that.
