International Academy Of Design Technology/ IADT Online They used deceptive measures to ensure my confidence in enrolling Tampa Florida
I had been looking to further my education and was intending to persue knowledge in web design. I had been visiting different sites that I thought may have the greater potential when I was contacted by IADT. I guess they use a tracking system as I had never visited their site.
I read what they had to say and gave them contact info (phone #) so that I could further get an understanding of everything they had to offer and have a few of my questions answered as to my experience with the internet and what kind of knowledge I must have in order to get the most out of the education I was offered. I was very clear with my "student advisor" or whatever her title really is when I told her I am VERY new to the internet and am not familiar with alot of the programs such as "microsoft word, powerpoint,etc." and that as I have a great imagination, putting my vision from mind to pen and paper has never been one of my strong points.
I was reassured time and time again that I would be taught EVERYTHING I needed to know in order to achieve success in the field of web design and that there wasn't anything to worry about, all I need is to enroll and let them do what they do best.I found out that deceit is what they are VERY good at.
It wasn't until after classes actually started that I was told I now needed a scanner and like I said before I am so new to the computer I had no idea how to use the thing properly after I went out and bought the thing but I digress.
In the first week of class things were fairly simple but then comes the part when I must know the ends and outs of Microsoft Word and powerpoint.I contacted my "professor" and let her know in an email that I had never used these programs (especially powerpoint) in the manner that was needed to complete the assignments and the email I received back was that "basic knowledge of all of these programs were a required field and just keep trying !! Have a nice day !!" The only thing missing was a smiley face at the end of the message.
Needless to say I fell behind my classmates because I was trying to learn web design and all of the programs at the same time to no avail. The reason I opted for online classes was so I could go to work to support myself and come home to learn a new trade to take me further into the future, there was not enough time in a month much less a day to learn all of this and try to keep up finances in order to support myself.
I asked them if it would be at all possible to allow me to enroll at a later date so that I could spend some time learning "the basics" and was promptly told that wasn't an option so my only other choice was to get out when I could before I racked up a bill for an education I was never going to receive.
I realize It's only a matter of time before I begin receiving bills for this complete waste of time and energy and I realize that regardless of the scam I was involved in I will have to pay for this worthless pile of junk they consider "educational supplies" among other things.
I write this in hopes that someone else will read and hopefully not get scammed by these people. My fellow humans, BEWARE !!!
