PC Pro is a complete scam. I was scammed by the admissions rep (sales jockey) to coming to this over priced school. They promise the world but only deliver $26, 000 in debt. The credits do not transfer and employers are not interested in a non-degree. Certifications are great but need a degree to back it up. I could have completed a degree for that price. I feel that they are feeding of people’s desperation here in Michigan but cannot deliver anything but debt.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I am really glad that I thought to research this place before I did anything. I went for the informational seminar, and already they were having me do a free school application, and by the end of the night the PC Pro Director in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was already telling me that I have 24-48 hours to sign so I could get the financial aid she told me about. THOSE WERE RED FLAGS! Also they made it seem like the seminar that I was going to attend would be full. When I got there they had seven chairs, and I was the only one there. Thats the first red flag that hit me, if the school is so popular why was I the only one at the seminar? Also they told me the classes where filling up fast, when I was there a class was going on, and it had like five people out of 30-40 chairs. Are you kidding me? Not to mention the commerials on the radio said six months, when I got to the seminar they said ten (hmmmm...fishy..). Then came the tuition the base tuition she told me was $28, 000 WTF? For 10 months? I just graduated a four year university, into a horrid economy where I can't find a honest paying job non the less, but that is about what it cost to attend one year at a big time school, with an actual real physical campus instead of a few small rooms that Pc Pro's calls a campus. There's red flags all over this place people, I almost beleived what they were telling me, but I trusted my instincts, and it seems that my instincts are right. By the way the only way you could have failed their Readiness test, is if you were three years old, and you were born with no fingers. They lead you to beleive that they only select the smart people becuase of this test, but don't be fooled my dog could have gotten a passing grade (sorry Jasmine).
WCH, there must be a reason why it was expanded to ten months. hmmm... Maybe they feel that the extra four months allow them to better prepare their students for the workforce. Tho I can't see why that would be necessary. All of their students are incredibly successful with only six months training. Ask them. Its their selling point.
Could it really be that people aren't willing to hire someone who only had six months training? I believe so, cuz it didn't help me. And to be more acurate, I went during the day, not nights, and I had my MCSA in only four months. Top student. Never failed an exam. First in line to receive no results or benefit for my money.
I received all certificates offered, plus was one of only 2 females in class, which all staff told me was a shoe in for a job. I watched my lead instructor get fired, plus 3 other personnel get fired in my 6 months there. I also went on 13 interviews. All potential employers said they would prefer if I had a degree. Not certificates. Also, going into job field with no experience and only 6 months training is a huge negative. In all my interviews, they said they were going with someone with more experience. Of my 22 classmates, I only know of three who got jobs in IT. One of whom, was hired by PC pro as an assistant instructor. I am not plCing all blame on PC pro though, I was easily swayed by the promise of a career. But I will say that I remained in contact with former instructor and this person has told me that school is just trying to make money and that this person was very frustrated because he/she tried to help students in a losing situation.
