I begin taking classes at Kaplan University in January of 2008. During my application process I met with my advisor many times who reassured me I was making a great choice and obtaining a great education for a fair price. I was informed that the school was accredited. At one point a woman came into our classroom and showed us a certificate in a frame, stating that our school was accredited and we should not worry about credits transferring. In the spring of 2009 I moved to Colorado and had been informed there was a Kaplan in Thornton, CO I could transfer to. I once again asked about accredidation and if I would be able to sit for certification after completion of my program and was assured that they were and I could. When I completed my program they gave me information to become certified by AAMA but my job did not require certification and it did not affect my positition so I never sat for the exam. Now in 2014 I have a new job and they are requiring certification. When I contacted AAMA about my school they informed me that neither the Lewiston Main Kaplan nor the Thornton Colorado Kaplan were accredited for AAMA certification and that I would not be able to sit for their certification. I am now in debt about 20,000$ for a degree that is useless for certification.
