I went to the campus first day and already was a bad sign. A female was complaining to the secretary that she missed her class because they did not inform her. That SHOULD have been my sign from the universe to AVOID. They seem to miss or screw up appointments.
About 4 other students complained to our instructor that they do not respond for days. When I first started the program, a student mentioned he was up to date with financing but they still cut him off and blocked his online account so he could not complete the modules for some time. He had government loans/grant but very little. He mentioned he called and emailed them that he *is* up to date, and they ignored him (they have ignored me numerous times despite me contacting them numerous time for schooling things needed to continue each module. They are worthless here. Us students sit around for days or a week until they please their damn selves). That puts us behind by up to a week, because they like to sit around, suck up people's money and accomplish no work.
This student and I seemed to be unaware of our funding (loans/grants). They never properly disclosed that. He mentioned he would have never signed up for this program if he knew he would barely get any funding.
Many of them will only contact students, when they are looking for money. That is about it. (We are in cybersecurity etc that is around 29k dollars where we teach ourselves and the facility accomplish very little and screw everything up and usually do not respond back to students.)
People in the below reddit post are all complaining it is a bad decision, private and NOT accredited.

WARNING: Do NOT JOIN...
I am lucky I have the ability to create my own streams of income, because people looking to get hired by companies have to rely on their diplomas. I have to view this has career training and I actually care to go to university and have cissp but being a doctor in the medical field is my primary choice, so this cdi program is something I can cruise through. Most people want accreditation for hire by companies unlike me, so I can take a miniscule loss and still get a massive ROI. Thankfully cybersecurity is not my primary career choice. I just care to protect myself from cyberthreats that are rampant now with AI Language Models, deep fakes, phishing, everything.
No matter how many times a representative will say they are sorry, they are not, they have their cues on when to say what.
Recommendation: DO NOT JOIN!!! They do NOT respond to many students emails/phonecalls, they screw up on meetings or their tasks for many students and DO NOT CARE!!!!
JOVANJEET DHAMI, (Education Manager) I have contacted so many times and he does NOT RESPOND for days, just like other students from this campus complain about. These courses are expensive for self training and lack of accreditation.
I know this is the type of stuff that won't help them all sleep at night. Constant worrying of students and potential students complaint. Having to deal with accountability because of their laziness and greed.
