So called IT training….it’s a joke!

3

I was contacted by this "school" in 2012 after I sent a resume' for an entry level IT position in my state of Arkansas. I was part of a large layoff and the job I had to take was a large pay cut from my previous job so I was looking for something to give myself more marketable job skills. I was interested in IT so when I saw this "job posting", I applied. I never heard anything about the "job", but a couple of weeks ago or so I was contacted by someone from New Horizons offering me IT training. I had never heard of them and wondered how they got my contact information. They had about 3 levels of training being offered at that time and the two men I spoke with on the phone kept pushing me towards the most expensive package that included 8 certifications to the tune of about $23, 000. I was able to obtain 2 of the 8 certifications, Network+ and Security+. I was told by their so-called Career Placement person that once I had a couple of certifications under my belt, he'd help me find a job. This was not the case at all. Once I obtained these two certifications, I contacted him more than once and had to leave a voicemail. He never called back nor did he respond to my e-mails I sent asking for job help. I went on and attempted to take and pass the Windows 7 certification test and failed it because most of the questions on the test were geared towards people who had been in IT for a few years. I contacted another couple of young girls who were also supposed to help me find a job and all I got from them was them asking me to send them names of employers in Arkansas and they would contact them for me. To say the least, I didn't do this. These people obviously posted a fake job ad in my state newspaper trying to get information from people to lure them into their "school" and lie to them further. I have since found out after all of this the school isn't even accredited with anyone! Someone seriously needs to investigate these people and shut the school down.
