I am 36 years old and found myself without a job and having a hard time getting one. I have a lot of years experience in an office and was an office manger for 5 years. I went to the school to further my education and get into coding. I went to the school and spoke with a representative about doing medical coding, this something I have been wanting do for a long time. I went over everything with her explained my situation and she told me after I graduated I would be making 45, 000 a year with this certificate. I looked into coding and that was bout right. After starting school, they taught us a lot about running a medical office as a receptionist. I voiced my concerns so many times to the counselors & higher ups. After wasting my money and time it turns out all the stupid certificate is good for is scratch paper...I was offered to apply for so many receptionist positions. NOT ONCE DID THEY OFFER CODING!!! We barely went over coding in the classes. Kaplan preyed on people who were out of a job and desperate to start over. I am a single mother and work very hard to pay the bills and feed my children. I am very disappointed in the way Kaplan handled everything. Not once has any tried to contact me after I specifically tol them I wanted a call back after I filled out my exit papers. Be very careful when you are thinking of going to Kaplan. They tell you one thing but it is a lie.

Kaplan College was a waste of money, I was enrolled there in Bakersfield ca, in the criminal justice program. I was misled into thinking the education I went there to get was accredited and professional. the program was supposed to have hands on training and instead was an education equivalent to high school. I was forced to stop attending classes there and try to transfer credits to another school. I was not very successful in transfering to another school because most of the monies went to Kaplan. I was cloes to graduating from Kaplan five months to go and I could've had a aas degree in criminal justice from Kaplan. It was'nt worth it to me to continue at kaplan and pay more money to that school. I would not be proud graduating from Kaplan. It's also very discouraging hearing the staff make comments about their students " the students are not smart but we need to pass them so we could get our money". I was an 'A' student and never once missed a day of class in the year I spent there. I would not recommend anyone to that school. In fact I hear they will not be continuing the criminal justice program after the first graduates. Most students enrolled in the program there transfered out. What does that tell you?

Very disappointing! I owe student loans for the poor education that I tried to get at Kaplan. Please help! does any one know where I could file a formal complaint and would I have to hire an attorney to try and get reimbursed from kaplan?
