National Education Center, Olympia, Everest Corinthian Colleges Misrepresenation from the start Grand Rapids Michigan
National education centers, School of technology, sold and renamed to Olympia, then sold and renamed to Everest, owned by Corinthian colleges.
This school system, by any name, and at any location has a proven track record of dismal performance. From the Grand Rapids Michigan campus, to the one in Detroit, and now to the Kalamazoo branch, its all about getting YOU the student to sign up for Government backed loans, which are then given to the school.
All you get out of this, is a big DEBT that is all but impossible to pay off, becasue the education you get, is USELESS and they know it.
If this were any other industry, the CEO's of these schools would be facing federal felony charges and long terms in jail.
Instead, this school along with its partners in Crime, the US congress, the US government's department of Education, and various lenders, banking institutions and 3rd party collections agencies, are victimizing the students untill they either drop dead, become disabled equivilent to the state of a vegtable, or they win a lottery so they can pay off the perpetual debt generated by the student loans.
20 plus years of rape and pillaging the hopes and dreams of students is not enough for them. They want to continue.
Save your money. Avoid this school no matter what they say.
They are criminals.

This gentleman is correct. These institutions are nothing but quick cash-grabs. The problem with these BUSINESSES is that they hide their faces behind the names "college" and "university";but, be not mistaken, they are neither! They are not the equivalent of a PUBLIC college or PUBLIC University. The piece of paper they give you when you graduate is worth NOTHING in the job-market. If you think for one second that what you get from any of these BUSINESSES is going to give a public university or college degree or diploma any competition you have another thing coming.
As a person who was victimized by one of these private schools, what I say is nothing short of fact. The course content is mid high-school level; therefore, if you have completed high-school you will be learning nothing new. The teachers, for the most part, are graduates of these places(weird, I know!). Most of the classes(when I was there they were called modules) are nothing but common sense and anyone with an IQ over 10 knows most of what they teach anyways. Their version of electives are just stuff that they print up from the internet. One "class" was on the secret job market(where you are basically told to apply to places blindly and hope that enough s**t hits the fan for someone to call you for an interview). Another class was on how to prepare for an interview and how having proper hygiene was a must(yes..I'm serious) If you chose a program, lets say business, the "core" classes consisted of about ten percent of the overall programs content and it was basic information that you got in grade 10 mathematics(I took "business administration" aka call center technician) I was a former University student and I COMPLETED high-school so I had a right to be shocked. This place was basically an Academy of learning style place, for laid-off adults who were sent there involuntarily or who had no other choice. The name college is what got me, that is all!
I contacted everyone in my class(those that I could track down) to see if they had in fact found employment IN THEIR FILED OF STUDY! Not one of them had found anything suitable. The closest to business was a secretary; a job that could have been found without the loss of ten-thousand dollars!
Bottom line...if you need to complete high-school to get enough credits to enter a PUBLIC college or university then do so. The time and money wasted on these places will make you that much more miserable....trust me.....I work in a facotry and I took business administration.
