American Achievement Center Ken Fogarty ripoff, Dishonest, Lied to So that you would sign up for classes East side, near Wayland Square, Rhode Island
I answered ad which is in Prov. Sunday Journal every week.For Test& application Preparation Goverment Jobs.Federal Agencies now hiring throughout New England.Wages Starting $10.54-$20.55,PLus Great Benefits. I called the # in the ad made an appointment with counsler.I was told to bring picture ID.and $10.
I went to the Appointment,completed a short test they had set up.Then I met with a counsler(Ken Fogarty ).He then read to me a short agreement.
It is understood that my enrollment fee of $499.00 paid in full,entitles me to repeat all classes as often as necessary or until I am successful in my goal.me
Acc will also continue to instruct me in getting Federal&State placement leads,and offer career advisory services as long as is required by me at no additional cost.
Provided I submit all necessary personal data and documentation in a timely.These classes were held in Boston right next to the Fleet Ctr.Whic is about 1& a half hours of Traveling time.
Classes were held for 5 Saturdays in a row.All taht is fine.The part which I was lied to about and ripped-off on,is as follows.
I was told,by Mr.Fogarty That I when I arrived at the class that someone would be assigned to me and work with me until Iwas successful in accomplishing my goal.
I was also told the was parking in front of the Bldg once I got there.I wasn't told it was only 3 parking spots long!!I also had to pay $15 a week to park.
To my suprise when I went to my first class I found out nobody was going to be assigned to me.I also found out for an addittional $299 that they would do all the work for you ,providing you gave them all neccessary info.
Peap Is the name Of the upgrade program for the xtra $299,which is only held on Tues. and Thurs.
I feel that I should have been told up front that there were two different fees for two different programs.For $499 I received 1 book a lot of handouts Websites for Federal Job listings.
I received some grammar& spelling lessons,it sems to me most people in the class felt they were not told the truth!When this was metioned the placement director Ms.Ellis was upset and annoyed.
I felt I was ripped-of and victimized any help in this matter would be appreiciated,thank you.
