Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW:
EDITOR’S UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to MyComputerCareer for its commitment to excellence in customer service.
Ripoff Report’s discussions with MyComputerCareer have uncovered an ongoing commitment by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that in the event of a disagreement or unmet expectation, students can expect that the institution will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution. MyComputerCareer executives and staff listen carefully to client concerns and see them as opportunities to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient and effective in delivering a quality education and career development experience to each and every student.
MyComputerCareer’s Founder and President, Tony Galati, has gone the extra mile to give his personal assurance to students that their concerns, as well as their compliments will be heard. “We know that at a busy school like ours, a student may occasionally fall behind or feel a little lost. We’ve certainly had a few instances of students feeling as though their expectations weren’t being met or their voices weren’t heard. That’s why we implemented ‘Dear Tony.’ If ever a student feels like their needs aren’t being met by our personnel on their campus, they know where to go to reach me, personally, and get my response quickly—usually the same day. I don’t know any other school where students have that kind of immediate access to the President, Provost, or Dean. I treat these messages with the highest priority because nothing is more important to me than the satisfaction and success of our students!”
In the course of its review of MyComputerCareer, Ripoff Report learned that in most cases, the Dear Tony feedback is positive, affirming that students are enjoying a successful experience at the school. Whenever a suggestion or criticism is noted, however, the organization is quick to mobilize around the student to resolve the concern. MyComputerCareer has demonstrated that, more than simply meeting mandatory requirements of any resolution or settlement, administrators go the extra mile to attempt to exceed expectations and help the complainant feel positively about the experience and outcome.

Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
MyComputerCareer.com, Inc. is a school offering IT training to help their clients achieve better, more satisfying careers by giving them specialized training in the area of information technology. Leads are typically acquired through internet and radio advertising, as well as through their website. The team at MyComputerCareer.com focus on a “no pressure” sales process, where the customer is given “the help and consideration [they need] to make an informed decision to commit to the course of study,” explains Bruce Ackerman, a representative of the school.
At times, a client may feel that he or she was not satisfied with the level of service received, however, Mr. Ackerman states this is not common. In the few cases students do feel that way, the team at MyComputerCareer.com “went above and beyond normal customer care” to ensure the client’s satisfaction, explains Mr. Ackerman. This generally ensures that the client is happy after the team works with them, but sometimes, Mr. Ackerman states that the client does not ever reply after receiving the additional help. After a complaint is resolved, regardless of the outcome, the student is asked to return. “And, in some instances, one on one contact is made,” explains Mr. Ackerman.
MyComputerCareer Complaint Resolution & Customer Care
When receiving a complaint, the team at MyComputerCareer.com does take into consideration the student’s time and money spent thus far on the course. “Consideration is taken, but once a student has taken over 50% of the class, the company still goes above and beyond” to ensure the student’s satisfaction, states Mr. Ackerman. To ensure that the students are receiving quality training, all instructors have professional degrees, and the school offers one-on-one training, second-chance testing, and job placement upon completion of the training.
In response to the complaint launched against them on Ripoff Report, Mr. Ackerman states that it was a fabricated complaint posted by a competitor in August of 2012. Since receiving the complaint, MyComputerCareer.com has since launched its own “Dr. Tony Website,” where students can post complaints and the team at MyComputerCareer.com can respond to them directly and resolve any issues that arise.
Mr. Ackerman and the team at MyComputerCareer.com, Inc. recognize the value of working with Ripoff Report and the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, and the platform it provides for businesses and clients to interact and resolve issues. Mr. Ackerman states that they value the “accurate reporting” that Ripoff Report offers.
MyComputerCareer Positive Feedback
"MyComputerCareer employees feel a strong connection to the company and especially, to the students. It’s not uncommon to hear comments like, 'I love what I do. Every day I come to work knowing I’m helping to make a positive difference in our students’ lives.' This sentiment extends from the boardroom to the classroom and will be echoed by executives, admissions advisors, instructors, career services personnel, and administrative staff.
Employers that hire MyComputerCareer students seem complimentary, as well. For instance, Marie Badger, a recruiter for an IT staffing firm in the Raleigh area said, 'MyComputerCareer has set the standard of what an individual should do in trying to break into the IT field. The whole process is awesome because it guarantees a way in…I have been working with MyComputerCareer for about two years and…what I have been most impressed with is the quality [candidates]. It has just been a great experience all around.’”
STATED IMPROVEMENTS FROM YOUR COMPANY NAME.
"Ripoff Report complaints have given MyComputerCareer the impetus to reevaluate the customer experience and make sure we’re delivering on our promises. Although no one can satisfy every customer 100% of the time, we can make sure that when we do stumble, we do everything in our power to make it right. Through our new “Dear Tony” program, and better internal communications throughout the organization whenever a challenge first appears, we have been able to spot and resolve problems earlier and avoid some of the disappointments that might have otherwise resulted both for the student and for our organization. MyComputerCareer is committed to continually striving to improve in this vital area of customer satisfaction and service.”
In summary, after our review, which included discussions with Mr. Galati and many of his past and current associates, Rip-off Report is convinced that MyComputerCareer is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
———————————————
As a mature adult, looking for a change in career, I was an easy catch for this so called "MyComputerCareer.com". After a brief interview and explanation of how wonderful this school is, I signed up for their classes that was starting just few days away.
They start by promising a life time career service and 10 computer certifications in 7 months. All great right? Well, to start by saying that it costs near $21k for the worse teaching experience I ever had. There was only 2 teachers ( both smokers who would just disappear for cigarette breaks) and their method of teaching was the following:
- PowerPoint presentations that will last 1 hour of that boring and unprepared teacher reading out load.
- After the first horrifying hour, 3 hours of "hands on" lab; Are you kidding me? What hands on??? First day of class they make you download some pre-made labs ( supposedly step by step) and after that is pretty much good luck and send me your check for $21000 dlls.
- About a 20 % of the time we had issues with the network to do our labs ( A computer school with issues in their network should be a red flag).
- The labs are long and quite hard but it wouldnt be an issue IF the teacher would take all questions and answer; the entire class ( around 20 students) had issues in between the 3-5 lab and ALL of us had to start from the beginning with all the labs (about a 16-18 hrs wasted). The worse part of all this lab nightmare? Nobody had a clue of what we were doing and the "teacher" would ask a question with another question: Haven't you read the chapter?
I want to make sure that anyone going to this school do a very diligent research; I don't ask you to believe a word of what I am saying but don't cry later...because it will be to late. A quick resume of my horrible experience; I attended classes for 1 month; I learned few things ( all on my own ) and after leaving the school I got a bill for $4800 after already had paid $1500. If you ever go and take a look at this place ( I attended the Irving/Dallas Campus), take a look at their job placement ( Remember, they promise a LIFE TIME JOB PLACEMENT) and to your surprise, all of this jobs are paying between $12-15 dollar per hour; I am really sorry, I don't want to be mean, but for $12dlls anyone can go flip burger without having to be in deep debt.
As of today, I am having my lawyer to look over the contract and I will NOT pay another penny. I am also having my lawyer withdraw a letter to Better Business Bureau (BBB) with a former complain.
