Paid 3000$ cash for truck driver training and discovered that they only had automatic transmission trucks and there would be a restriction on your license. There was no disclosure of the truck status either at registration or in the class information. The class was delayed twice after I moved to the area which cost additional money. When I showed up early for class I was told the trucks were all automatic and the instructor apologized and said that fact should have been disclosed. I left before class started because a license restriction served no practical purpose. When I tried to get a refund I was told by Kathleen Hawsey that I had attended class and was not entitled to a refund. I could return and take the class but I have moved from the area.

I don't have the resources to get a lawyer and I was forced to complete a arbitration agreement and of course the arbitrator would be an advocate for the college...a complete and well thought out scam. After over a year, numerous attempts to get a refund, letters to the president of both colleges, I am still waiting. These people have kept my money for over a year.

The only reason I took the course is because I have to take the certification hazmat endorsement; that way, they can give me access to take the hazmat endorsement written test with DMV. The only time I have to take the test is Saturday; now it's been a week since I got the course done. I'm still begging them to send me the certification. I've called all day. I've emailed them, no answers. I'm so...

Worst experience ever! Went to enroll in a course and upon registration they didn’t know what classes to put me in. I wasn’t notified I would have to pay $60 dollars for a parking pass upon registration. My class schedule was changed three times and I still was put in a course that I didn’t need to be in.They had me taking online class which I knew nothing about and I hate online classes and to make matters worse I was taking college classes with high school students from a alternative high school. We started work late do the high school kids not being on time which made me no longer...
