Kaplan Career Institute, Cleveland OHIO
Kaplan Career Institute lied about the Electrician program Ripoff

I started attending Kaplan Career Institute in February. I noted the overly eager sales representative who reeled me in. When I applied they told me they had to see if my financial aid loans have consolidated to allow me to attend. So I went home and the following day I was called and asked if I could get to class because I was okayed by the director to start. I was told by the instructors that the classes we were taking were going to count towards our licensing as electricians, but later down the road I began to hear differently. The School is accredited by the state, but the Electrician program was not recognized by the Electrical board. The school was very uncaring about it's students and the head of the Electrician program was very critical towards us. I found that their were some great teachers their who were also very frustrated with the program itself. I have been attending this school for half of the year and recently was told that none of my loans were consolidated. I was on director's list 5 times and had perfect attendance and grades. But after talking to the head of the Financial aid there was nothing that could be done to help me stay in school. I will be dropped on August 9th of this year unless I can come up with $5,000. I was then told to continue coming or I would fail my current course and it may have to be retaken again if I ever find a way to continue funding my schooling. I am at great odds with this school because I have came to class even when I had an arguement with my family and was living in my car and still maintained honor roll and perfect attendance. They have allowed countless people to come into the program knowing that many of them if they have Felonies cannot get licensed. I am a father of 2 and I struggled going to work and to this school sometimes pulling a 20 hour day 3 days a week. This school treats its students like children we were also all reprimanded by the electrician head instructor for one person stealing a drill and copper. I was insulted because here I was faithfully paying my $50 a month to cover my balance and taking food out of my children's mouths to attend. The fact that this school only cares about money and not its reputation is quite disheartening.
