They’re coming after me for money
In 2017, I signed up for a course that stated multiple times that you wouldnt have to pay the school (if you even want to call it that) anything until you completed your course. I never received any books (that were supposedly going to be mailed out to me) or responses when Id try to email them or call them.
I also never attended any classes due to being forced from my home and becoming homeless for a short amount of time. Even now, in 2024, theyre STILL calling me demanding tuition money.
Every time I block their number, they call back with a different one. Ive even gone through with ordering a cease and desist but they ignored it and still contact me
User's recommendation: DO NOT attempt to study at this “school”

Lack of Information Led to Debt
Unaccredited but selling as though they are accredited. Once you sign up there is no grace period to quit, once you sign the dotted line and realize the course is useless due to a lack of accreditation, they will still chase after you for money.
These people prey on poor people looking to advance their skills but the result is plenty of people ending up in debt for something that is literally useless.
If they were honest during their sales call, then, when they realize people are dissatisfied after a short period of time they should provide a refund since their sales department fails to disclose some important facts. The fact they don't leans more towards scam than a business/school.

User's recommendation: DO NOT GO THROUGH THIS SCHOOL
Did you read your contract? I am reading the reviews and I am asking myself.
This school is big. If they was scams why is the goverment not shut them down?
You sign and gave them your credit card information. That is how they got you.

Medical Transcription
User's recommendation: Don't use this program. They aren't all bad, just this one.
I am surprised that medical transcription programs are still being offered given that the field is completely dead. I say this as a former transcriptionist (first medical followed by legal) who worked in the field for 26 years.

Funny reaction. Did you learn anything?
As for me I have been in IT for over 20 years.
Is it more reasonable for me to claim I know what I know? Or to say I not only know it, but I can pass a course that says I do?
