Parent company in New Jersey. They opened a branch in Orlando, Florida (Academy of Technology). Beautiful offices. They charged us $10,000 for a 6 month security/hacking course. The teacher showed up when he wanted, then classes eventually dwindled to none at all. They constantly had financial trouble, the director lied to me over and over and over to just keep me quiet, did not return money to me that was due me, moved to a really crummy location, closed for vacation without telling anyone for 2 months, changed the course outline and did not teach what they promised. And, eventually, they just closed the doors without finishing the classes.
My daughter and I are on the hook for over $20,000 in student loans with no education or way to pay it back. She moved to a strange town in order to go to school. They ripped off the student loan companies for all the students there that did not get an education--and we signors have to pay the loans back anyway. The parent company refused to answer attorney phone calls. These folks are bad news--very bad news.

Inaccurate information No monies were exchanged
AUTHOR: Michael - (U.S.A.)

To whom it may concern--
Your recent accusation holding Metro Wide accountable for your unfortunate loss in Florida has nothing to do with our organization. Metro-Wide IS NOT, I repeat, IS NOT, the parent company of Academy Of Technology based in Florida. Whomever gave you this information id Incorrect and we wish you to make a correction on your accusation.
The only relationship we had with that school in Florida, was an agreement to allow students wishing to exchange classes incase they moved to NJ. Hence, if any of our students were moving to Florida, That school would allow our students to transfer and take classes.
No monies were exchanged. We neither lost nor profited from any registered students at that school. Since its closing, we remain untied to any dealings with that school You were mis-informed. Our classes never even costed near $10,000. Our programs are $4,000. Any attorney, could have done a little research and found out that they are two seperate companies of which Metro Wide had no part. I am deeply sorry for your problem but I wanted that facts told correctly.
I would also like to add that Your school in Florida never had a location in NJ nor in Marleton and there certainly was no fraud on Metro-Wide's Part to Loan companies and we challenge you to prove that there was, since the loan companies have no idea about any fraud either.
