They will make there money, but you will end up with nothing

Sarted the end of May withdrew beginning of August. I'm not a quitter, I just wasn't comfortable. I felt like I wasn't going anywhere within my Company for 16 years, I wanted a change, so I took the Skills Challenge, and passed, no suprise. But..
They are a hard sell, they take you in, fake it, sell you, with the most respect, kind, courtieous, you name it they do it. They tell you this is what your capable of, your potential, you can do it, with hard work and persistance, you will prosper. It's a power-trip in the beginning.
As they are explaining this, the director or whomever talks to you, hides the fine print (... So to speak) in his words. He will tell you everything, the tuition, how many days you have to withdraw with full refund, the hard work, yudda, yudda. But they capture you in there persistant talk of the best job, finances... Ex. They drag you in, and unfortunately for most of us, we buy it. It's the power of the sale. It was the worst mistake I ever made in my life.
It wasn't for me. After my first exam... (I was crushed) I knew this wasn't for me. Study the pre-certifications tests the instructor would say, all it was, was memorizing. Some of us don't have a photographic memory. I thought maybe I would get something out of it, but I had to realize I can make better money and promote within my present company more than, taking a step down @ a entry level position in a IT department or Best-buy. I have bills, and of course much more debt, I can't take a pay-cut. Especially come April when the loan starts with it's payments.
They said, when I withdrew, I attended 41.6 % of class... HOW? I started May 29th, my last class date was August 2. I really don't know how they calculated. My classes were ending November. Maybe 2 1/2 months, that's not 41.6 %, so I received only a 30% reimbursment. At least I'm not paying the full $27,000.00, but it is still close. I'm just wondering how the rest of the class faired out.
So... If you are thinking about taking the course, don't do it. It's not worth your time, money, and the stress. Go to a reputable school, college, and spend the money wisely. I wish I would have checked into it elsewhere, before I enrolled.
