Context is a company that offers self development personal awareness type courses - they hold information sessions all over the US and Canada in which they offer you a discount for signing up for their programs called The PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE; THE WALL; THE ADVANCEMENT.
At the information sessions they tell you that the courses give you a certificate of completion and they actually are the equivelent of taking a 4th year psych program at a University in Washington state.in fact the information session people claim that if you attend a university later this will be a credit for you and you can get a transcript.
Well I was working of r a company and everyone who worked there had to pay & take this program - it di dhave some good things in it such as conflict rsolution strategies etc for the workplace. At the end of 4 days for the 1st level I thought about asking for my money back - the people of course talk you out of it and again tell you at a later date this is a credit for you. Later I sponsored someone I worked with to take the program as well.
So years pass by I still get emails from these people every time they are offering a new course, so I am back in school and I contact them about a letter confirming my credit so I can take one less class at school and pay for one less class. They of course ignore the first few emails I send, then I phone & leave message. Finally they get back to me on the phone and I am told they will see what they can do. Tim at C3 is who I was dealing with - well for 8 months now I have been given the run around and the bottom line is that they refuse to confirm that this is an accredited prograsm anymore but it might have been at one time & no one canb apparently remember what school or department ever sanctioned their programs.
This is a total scam
