I too was a student at Computertraining.edu in Bensalem, Pa. Class only started on December 7th, 2009, and was canceled on the 30th   of December.


All the company talked about was how successful they were, how prior students would come back to the company to hire recent grads. How with hard work and dedication, we could become certified Microsoft IT Professionals.

I still have not received any email or phone call stating that the school is closed


<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->


I quote a statement from the pamphlets that are given when you sign up: At ComputerTraining.com, we know our training can make a significant difference for your future. As a premier provider of quality information Technology training solutions since 1985, we ensure that our training builds a solid foundation for a better career opportunities for each and every student we teach.


<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->


The one true part was that our instructor that was teaching us was one of the best. He truly enjoyed teaching. He made us want to learn. He cared about his students.


<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->


I had to give ComputerTraining.com a certified check, which I took out an equity loan, so now my home is in jeopardy, plus the beginning of December, I was laid off from my job. So right now, Im batting about a thousand.


<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->


I understand that on December 1st, ComputerTraining.edu emailed the students that started in September, and advise them that they were the last class. So heres my question- if they knew that then, why did they let us start our class on December 7th. Ill tell you why, cause they are hungry, low life unprofessional that only care about how much money they can ripe off of honest people trying to better themselves and put that money into their own pockets.


<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->


So the story goes. . . sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.


I think its time that this company was eaten by the bear and anything else that can get their teeth into them. We need someone to help us, we want get these certifications and weve already paid our dues.


<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->


I too contacted CBS3 - lets hope they can put these people in there place.

I checked over my original paperwork. There is a place that has "Method Of Payment" and credit card is there, but i don't believe they said you could use one. I do remember however that they said no personal checks, must be a certified check or I'd have to go through Sallie Mae.

Time To Take Action

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

Folks, youve likely been ripped off in the amount of $15K to $28K. Who do you go after? Lets start with the owner of Computertraining.edu (CT), David L. Rau. David is married to Michelle and they have 4 children. They live in St. Petersburg,FL in a rather nice $18 million dollar mansion, which by sheer coincidence went up for sale on December 11th. Think they might be leaving town??

Now David is well known locally for his philanthropy, especially to his childrens school, Shorecrest  Preparatory School, also in St. Petersburg. Would you like to guess where he got his money to hand out to these worthwhile organizations?

Heres the contact information for Shorecrest. Let them know how you feel about David and his financial prowess. Make him a real popular guy.

Shorecrest Preparatory School
5101 First Street Northeast
St. Petersburg, FL 33703-3099 
USA
Ph: 727.522.2111
Fx: 727.527.4191

 

Davids mansion is located at:

375 Brightwaters Blvd. NE

St. Petersburg, FL

 

As I indicated, they may have already skipped town. Be on the lookout for them.

Criminal Intent

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, January 01, 2010

It's interesting that you mention they required a certified check. Other schools would gladly accept credit cards UNLESS they knew they were going under and wanted a payment that could not be recovered by a credit card chargeback. Were they accepting credit cards earlier in the year?

I'd run this past the local district attorney. Looks like a case of criminal fraud here.
