FLORIDA METROPOLITAIN UNIVERSITY - EVEREST UNIVERSITY corinthian college everest not only didn't live up to their promises the instructors spent there time taking the easy road by cheating and lying to students orange park, Florida

I notice many people complain about trivial things when it comes to these skoolz, but the main problem is the massive amount of money being paid for the miniscule amount of material and skills learned.  As this person said, the tests are OPEN BOOK?!  What traditional college or university would EVER allow this?  None!  The material is basically at an early and general high-school level also.  Isn't college and university SUPPPOSED to be the next step above high-school?!  Going here was basically a step BACK for me.  The reason I didn't leave was because of the inflated promises of jobs and salaries that were supposedly coming my way after graduation(I bet one of those many employers looking for CDI grads would scoop me up....strangely I never did see any of them?) The only job they ever posted was for just above minimum wage, and part time at that, as a secretary(I guess that is their idea of a "business" job).  A far cry from the job managing mine workers for 60,000 dollars a year they spoke of early on in the program(Schyaa right....give me a break!)  The "modules" were basic common sense stuff that anyone can figure out on their own.  And the "core" classes were like the introduction section of a high-school text book drawn out for 2 weeks.  The 8 hour days were not 8 hours of full instruction or work and could have been compressed in 2 hours MAXIMUM. The fact that they think they can compare with traditional Colleges and Universities is another joke.  Please.  Employers and other schools are not fooled.  I have had no calls for any jobs in the business field even after putting on my resume that I would volunteer for no pay just to get experience.  I have no criminal record, have never been fired etc.  Other schools(TRADITIONAL ones) will not accept those bogus credits either, and RIGHTFULLY SO.  If you just want to be able to say that "I graduated", and that I "have a diploma" then go here.  It is easy, fast and takes little to no effort(and BTW 95% of you will get honours too!!!!! WOW!!!)  But if you want respect from employers, credits that transfer and a higher chance of getting a real job or career then I would think twice!  Trust me, I know, Ive been there.

 Everest doesn't think that they did anything wrong but if you break down what they did or didn't do, the outcome looks alot different.

 First by starting class 20-30 min late everyday is equal to 15 days of school, another 10 min late starting class after each break( two a day)  that's another 15 day's lost to lazyness. If you mark 15 school day's on the calander it's 6 weeks or a month and a half of school that we did absolutly nothing.

Next is 9 months of being read to at a 9th grade reading level just to take an open book test at the end of every week. This is amazing that everest is allowed to give this type of traning, and the real kicker is that they charged me $15,000+ interset. I could have spent the 9 months going some where else now I'm behind 9 months and $15,000 from where i was before school. If I was to get a job now I would make lower pay due to the lack of training by everest. The carrer services even brought in a contractor to talk to the class, telling us that entry level pays min pay untill you get time under neath you. That doesn't sound like the same sales pitch I heard before I started.

If I was to get a job that was in the field of Rhvac with the training I recieved by everest I would make no more than $10 or $11 and that was even said by the program director If you do the math of some one that is on there own paying normal living expenses making that littleof money would be hard enough, now you add school payment for about 6 to 10 years. Life is going to be tougher on everyone. Why not spend 9 months learning some thing that's not going to put a finicial berden on your family for years. Everest is allowed to charge alot of money to do very little.

 The effects of a bad school doesn't stop with the student. When students are selecting a school, they are trying to better there family's way of living. If you pay to graduate from a school your putting your family's future in the trust of the school. Everst has shown very little care for the big picture of graduating students. Everest is very good at twisting words and situations to escape responsibility of thier lack of committment to teaching. In the end the real effects will show itself, going to school where you do nothing but read in class and take open book test only helps make the school look good on paper. Everest tells graduting students not to ask for to much when getting hired, I wounder if that's because it's easier to get ajob at 8-9-maybe 10 dollars an hour instead of a copettive wage you were promised before hand. That would make a job statistic look better in everest case. Promise students a great school then read to us for 9 months and collect $ 15,000 to do so and in the end gradusting students tun out basically no better than when they started $10 an hour or worse.
