Here in Cleveland they began running job ads for Help Desk/Receptionists and IT Techs. I answered one of their ads which they posted anonymously, they asked applicants to send in their resumes via a post box. I guess they didnt want people Googling them and finding out things here on Rip-off-Report! Anyways, I answered and got a phone call from a woman stating that she received my resume and wanted to help me get more certification BTW, Im MOUS certified already. I dont want or need any more certifications! Also, I answered a job ad, not an ad for a certification courses! It just goes to show you that their school is crap, if they have to resort to such low tactics to get people into their schools.
Bottom line: Run dont walk away from these people. And thanks Rusty_buckets for sharing your story!!! If nobody speaks up, then these people continue to get away with scamming people and these people are obvious scammers!

New Horizon, like many other schools, are sale machines as if you were buying a home or car and do not care if their promises fall short, such as finding you a job...I was about to register at New Horizon...but the word is out abut how this "school" falls short in many ways. I was suppose to meet with their "sales guy" Jim P. on Wednesday, but after receiving confirmation from your rip-off report, I will find a more reputable institution to receive IT Certification. Thanks for posting your rip off report rom ROXBORO. By the way, their rebuttal to your allegations were very crass and typical...New Horizon is NOT RECOMMENDED for anyone..thy fall short of their promises in only the most important of ways that can break you financially.

IF you have no job/no money, you automatically qualify for aid. If you cannot get into 4 year state college then I guess you failed to pass the SAT or ACT. IF thats the case then why did you not check into Community College or Vo Tech School for Specialized training???? IF you can get a loan for New Horizons, you can get a loan for any reputable college. Unless you are a senior citizen age has nothing to do with getting financial aid. If you have a handicap you need to register with your states Rehab Comission for Job/Education training. New Horizons is really only for people who need to brush up on computer skills and even with that said, classes are cheaper at community college, or a state workforce funded program at the employment office. What you need is to go down to the state employment office and speak to a placement coordinator and get real career and education advice before you jump into something you know nothing about.
