Before "techdegree" there were two subscription levels: basic and pro. Basic covered all the courses and a few workshops, and pro added additional workshops and conference videos.

Now, when I look at the subscription page (and only if I am not logged in), I only see basic and techdegree, so I'm not sure what "pro" means anymore. Try to open one of the "pro" courses and see if your subscription level allows it. If you can access one of them, you probably have access to them all.

I am able to access all Pro workshops/conferences/courses although I didn't register for a Pro account... Weird...

Well, as I said, I don't see "pro" listed anymore as a subscription level. Perhaps there are no more content restrictions except for the techdegree material.

Alexander Davison Pro is a subscription tier above Basic. This can be seen/located on a subscribing student's enrollment page. You're currently on an Organization account, which has Pro access.

Feel free to send any questions or concerns about this to help@teamtreehouse.com.

Rob Allessi, when you look at the subscription page when you are not logged in, Under "Pick your plan" it shows only "basic" and "techdegree" levels. There's no "pro" level listed there anymore (but it used to be).

Is the omission of the "pro" level an error? And if so, is there another page where someone can see all available subscription levels?

Steven Parker It's omission from our sign-up page is intentional.

That's unfortunate — it certainly results in some confusion.

But still — is there anywhere on the site someone (current member or not) can see all available subscription levels? Perhaps it is the "enrollment page" you mentioned before, but I don't know where to find it. I can't even view that subscription page while logged in, it takes me to my "account" page instead.

Steven Parker You cannot view it because you're on a free library account. The enrollment page for paying students shows the various accessible tiers.

I realize that folks like Alexander and myself don't need to see this info. My comment was that it is unfortunate that there seems to be no place where someone whether currently a member or not can see all available subscription levels. When it still existed in the past, it was a useful reference when discussing Treehouse offerings on the forum or with folks I know.
