CEC or IADT reps will always say you should take responsibility for you actions if you're not happy with this school and findout our credits and credibility is useless" well maybe CEC shouldn't sell a half a*s education that nobody, and I mean noby recognizes in the "REAL WORLD" CEC has bought what at one time were creditable schools and turned them intoo money making machines that are laughed at my other school and "ALL" career placement companies and "ALL" corporations. "Nobody" knows who IADT or any CEC school is anymore. They lost all their credibility once acquired by CEC. CEC is a chopshop corporation and they should be taken seriously as such.

Sally, I agree that people need to take responsiblity for their actions, but that does not excuse what I witnessed for over a year at an IADT location. Some examples: *Dishonest admission reps *High pressure "selling" dba admissions *Career service help was a joke *Being told to call and pressure students to come to class *Being frowned upon if you failed someone *Accept a student as long as they can breathe and pay the 50.00 admissions fee *Another instructor was told her class was too hard so "lighten-up" so people can pass. Students were whinig over course work. *Ingoring ADA laws about students with handicaps or learning disablities. *Telling students that the credits would transfer to another school-and they will not. It was very hurtful to see what they were doing to young people's lives. These kids were trusting and fell for the scam. All they got was a 37K student loan, an associates degree and a chance to make 8.00 per hour as a retail clerk. The school claimed to change their life...but it was for the worst financially. I had to leave because I knew these kids could not make enough money to pay back the loans after graduation and it tore my heart out. I also attended a meeting w/ the accreditation crew that visited the school. We were "warned" before they came in subtle ways about what we should and should not say. The meeting was a joke. None of the people on the accreditation team knew anything about the programs we were offering. Most people would not talk because they knew they would loose their job if they told the team the truth. Hopefully, someday, these schools will be closed. They are very slick and know just how far to go before they get caught by the Feds. Regards, a disappointed former instructor
