Everest College Reviews

William Dunn March 22, 2010
Sorely Mislead
My name is Bill,
I attended Everest College to take Network Administration. I'm 43 years of age and i was wanting to really make something of myself. I was so excited when they were able to get my OSSAP all set up for me and all, and they seemed so helpful and friendly. Then the hell started.
I was having some trouble with a couple things that i just couldn't get. When i asked the Teacher for help, he gave me the wrong answers, time after time. This went on for four days. I felt out of place because it was he that was supposed to have all the answers. I got so upset because it caused me to fall behind. This made my days hard and troubled. I then got sick, submitted my letters, and was "Dismissed" for lack of attendance. TRhey actually never dismessed me, but OSSAP refused to cover the second part of my tuition because of not following the standards. If the letters were submitted like they should have been, OSSAP would have had no problem supplying me the second wave of money. I got really burned!!
They have no idea what this meaned to me. At my age, its not easy getting funding. I borrowed money from the government, over 6000 dollars for this course that i HAVE TO pay back, and i got absolutely nothing for that payment!! The help was not there, they ruined my attendance for OSSAP because of thier own mistakes, and i am out of school, no better off than i was before. Now i cant get OSSAP to go to a REAL school cause Everest grabbed it in thier money hungry hands.
My view of them is, they don't care about the student, they just want to get thier money. They never cared enough about me because i was given the wrong answers several times and was shunned away.
My heart is completely broken and i am very depressed. I was literally screwed by Everest College and they know it. I have no way to ever get back the money they took to get a real education. They dont seem to even care. They ruined my life in a way and i am heart broken. I feel lost and have no idea what to do about this. I'm stuck. I really wanted this education and payed alot to Everest to get nothing but heart ache in return.

What do i do now? Where do i go? Who will listen to my truth about an evil School such as them.SHAME ON YOU EVEREST SCHOOL!!!SHAME ON YOU!!! IF I WERE A LAWYER OR HAD THE MONEY, I WOULD TAKE YOU TO COURT AND TRY TO GET MY MONEY BACK.
SHAME ON YOU!!!

ITS NOT EASY March 8, 2010
False advertisment
The commercials’ advertising educational opportunities at Everest are ridicules. Whether it is a technical school program or a professional allied health program- it is not easy. The commercials market towards those individuals who are working multiple jobs and raising children. The trouble is it is NOT easy- you have to study and work hard - but they don't advertise the pride of working hard. I want them to stop saying "it’s easy". Everest has already been sued in the past for false advertising job placement.
THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY- THEY ARE NOT HONEST.

harrasment
Hello, my name is Marilyn Ramage, i had signed up to get info. from Everest college. I am looking at different schools for the nursing program. This college site said that they would call me or e-mail me about the info. The very next business day they did call me, i politely told the girl that i was at work and could not talk at this time. Needless to say she was pushy and was trying to continue the conversation, saying that it would only take a few moments. I told this woman again I could not talk at this time please call at a later time. She said ok, and we hung up. These people called my phone at least 7 more times this day while i was at work!! So when i got home i got on the web site and started to look for away to take my number OFF this call list. I chatted with the online rep. who told me, I needed to contact the toll free hotline. I do NOT wish to talk to these people ANY more. I ask for a contact e_mail and was told they did not have one for me!!

Worst School ever
I'm writing this review wherever I can so people won't get burned like my wife did:
My wife enrolled in the Chairside dental assistant program levels I and II. During her first term I noticed a lot of strange things as she was telling me about in the classes. Having gone through university, I had a pretty good idea how most colleges run and how classes typically are structured. The first thing I noticed was that there was no syllabus. There was no time-line for what the 'teacher' was supposed to teach and when. Tests dates would be given out and would be changed at random and without notice. The testing was absurd; my wife would have finished the midterm testing and then have to write a quiz relating to stuff that she had just tested on in her midterm. The excuse the teacher gave was that she needed a certain number of marks to hand in to fulfill some sort of criteria. Sometimes the class would revolt against the teacher and ask her to postpone the test date because they felt they were not ready ON THE DAY OF THE TEST! The teacher would, without fail, always gave in. My wife is a pretty serious student when it comes to getting grades so this really bothered her. She graduated with a 90 something average along side some classmates who mathmatically could not have passed the course.

The structure is completely disorganized and they seem to pass even the most incompetent of students. My wife had signed up for the level II courses well in advance and the dates were all set. We went over seas for family stuff expecting to come back and start school 2 weeks later. 2 weeks before classes were to start, some clown decides that it would be a good idea to start class 1 week early. My wife was sent no email, no letter. Someone called the house and left a message. My sister had to call us from Canada to let us know. Needless to say, after a lot of back and forth and brush-offs, we got nowhere. My wife had to start a week late and play catch up because Everest College didn't have the proper foresight or respect for people to honour it's commitments to it's students.

In my opinion, it's all about money for them. Don't bother forking out the cash. Go to a real school and actually learn something.

CRONYISM
EVEREST COLLEGE - SALT LAKE CITY - UT

The president and dean are practicing cronyism. They are placing less qualified people over those having stronger credentials based on how much they like them rather than how well qualified they are. I suspect they are hiring their own friends as well. There is lack of professionalism also.

False advertisement
I went to EVEREST IN CANADA, BARRIE, ONTARIO

SURE It was great while I was going there, BUT I HAD 4 different teachers and all of them were IDIOTS that were just in the field of medical office NOT accredited TEACHERS they make you pay TOP dollar for this bs so called school. I wish I never went I cannot find a job ANY WERE 3 places have TOLD me they do not HIRE EVEREST GRADS!LIKE HOLY F! I understand some were along the line someone must have messed up real bad, but to not hire Everest grads it must have been more then one person who messed up!

They LIE and do FALSE advertisment saying " we help you find a job" BIGGEST LIE ive ever heard! They don't do jack shit! Nothing to help you. I still cannot find a job I know everyone that was in my class cannot find a job!
When is this going to stop this is INSANE, how can this school do this to soo many people single moms Especially! THEY ARE NOT a school they are a Corporation that only wants to make money thats all it is about. I seriously want to sue their asses. Big fucking rich pricks!!! They don't care about YOU or ME they only care about THE MONEY YOU BRING!Let me know who is up for the challenge of taking this school to court!That is the only option when we have been through so much BULLSHIT with this school.

I hate Everest and anyone that is currently going there you will soon learn what I am talking about TRUST ME you will THAT IS A PROMISE no Matter were you live maybe 2/10 people are successful after graduation!

ON THIS site and all of the other ones for every 50 people saying Everest is a horrible awful school THERE IS MAYBE FIVE PEOPLE SAYING IT WAS A GREAT SCHOOL OBVIOUSLY ITS NOT A GREAT SCHOOL.! YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO ENROLL IN EVEREST!!!

And anyone that is planning on going there DON'T run while you still can!! Even if you sign all their papers and only do ONE day of class THEY STILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THE WHOLE YEAR! Listen to me and ALL of these other people PLEASE don't FALL FOR THEIR BS LIES AND FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!

There is no Rainbow after the storm

Still paying and no diplomia
O.K. I have been reading everyone complaint just because. Try this one I went to Everest in 2006/2007 for massage therapy. Bad idea the teacher I had was sleeping with students. He didnt bother to teach us anything besides hands on which to tell you the truth was not all that great. I find out after the fact that I could have sit in on classes after the so call graduation thing. Which to this day walking down and getting that piece of paper hasnt happen yet. I got out in 2007 and was jobless. I failed my state exam by 40 pts. so what is that saying about the teaching. I recently called to request my transcripts and stuff so I can send it off to the test site to retake. They told me they put my accound in collections and I have to pay it off before they release my so called certificate to me. Oh, and another thing the teacher that I did have went to the school and he had told us it took him 4 times to pass the exam not good. I should have walked out then but I would have still had to pay. It sucks. I am currently looking for a lawyer to dispute and get my money back so if anyone knows some one let me know. [email protected]

Dont believe anything the school says
I just recently graduated from that awful school in 2008 they said when i was doing my externship the idiot Doctor was going to hire me and guess what he got more externs why?because its free my money and we work for free..i regret going to this school..BEWARE AND DONT BELIEVE NOTHING THE SCHOOL SAYS!!!everything they do its legal by getting you in and you money. I havent found a job fits going to be almost now 9 months because everybody wants experince I dont know what to do because iam paying them and i spoke to career services and you know what they would say "SORRY BUT WE CANT HELP YOU, YOUR ON YOUR OWN"now i owe them almost $10, 984.48 and I HAVE NO JOB!!!
Disappointed in WA State August 27, 2009
No help with ANYTHING
I am absolutely FURIOUS with this school. When you sign up they guarantee you a job and all the bells and whistles. What they fail to tell you is that once you graduate, employers are looking for EXPERIENCED people not new graduates. I graduated a year ago from the medical assisting program and havent worked a day doing it. Employers wont hire me because I am not experienced enough and the college wont do ANYTHING to help me out!!! I feel like I was ripped off, my credit is now destroyed from student loans and I owe 12, 000!!! I would DEFINETLY not recommend this "college" if you call it that to anyone

Fraudulent School
I am currently enrolled at Everest and have a short amount of time left before my extership. I just learned that I will need to put in 160 hours of an approved externship without pay to graduate..why can't you graduate first then do your job placement. So you are telling me that even though I have a 95% if I can't find an externship site that will work with my hours, I owe $13, 000 for nothing! Wedon't even get certified at this school. You have to pay additional money to get certification! I've had 4 instructors in a time period of 5 months..leaned nothing but get A's
We sit in class 5 hours to work on homework and "lecture" is 15 minutes, also we can't miss 14 days in a row for any reason or are dropped and have to still pay the full loan amount. We get a diploma and will maybe get a job for $10 an hour what a scam
Pissed off!!!
