Reviews and Complaints
The "School" is a joke for education
This school is a joke. You get out dated material, you get no help at all, and the assignments are *** and not applicable to the real world.
I am taking my masters in Criminal Justice. They lied about their tuition special and now claim I owe them $6,000 more to finish their lame program. You get NO communication with the person grading your paper (Supposidly a teacher of some sort). Your assignmnets are suppose to be graded within 10 days, I have yet to get one done even in 20 days.
Half of the websites that they give you for the assignmnets are not there any more. I have to ask the business administrator questions if I don't understand an assignmnet. Then she cuts and pastes from the syllabus, as if reading it in an email will change anything. The classes are lame, and no contact with anyone.
The graders assign you a grade and absolutely no comments back on why you got the grade. They tell you to resubmit a paper, but the computer won't let you. Truly, do not go to this school. It is a degree mill.
Totoaly worthless. I will be making a formal complaint to DETC and hope everyone else does too.
Ashworth college-dead end road
BeWaRe Ashowarth College is Sub standard to say the least
Ashworth college in a bunch of untruthful scammers
I signed up with them to complete an associates degree with them. I did it online and paid the $15 down payment.
A few days later (about a week) I called to cancel. It has been almost a year and I get a call today saying I owe a $215 cancellation fee and that my account has been placed in collections. Apparently you only get FIVE days to cancel in order to avoid this extremely high rip off cancellation fee.
You do not even receive your first book before 5 days.However, I certainly was not told about this 5 day thing before hand. What a bunch of untruthful people just trying to get money!
Accounting and business management at Ashworth College
Ashworth credits not accepted by employer
I signed up for Ashworth's early childhood education course, as I am an assistant pre school teacher in New Hampshire, and needed 9 credits to become an associate teacher, and 18 credits to become a lead teacher. Ashworth seemed the answer as I work full time and felt it would be easier than attending the local community college.
I realised that as Asworth is NATIONALLY accredited and not REGIONALLY accredited for this course, so I would probably never be able to transfer the credits to another college. But I thought, no problem, I just need these credits for my promotion. So I handed over my money and got to work.
I completed the first 6 credits and thought 'This is great'. Then one day I went into work and my director said to me 'Your couse is REGIONALLY accredited, isn't it?' NOPE. Well, it turns out that the New Hampshire education department WILL NOT ACCEPT NATIONALLY ACCREDITED COURSES. I spoke to the man who inspects the day cares and pre schools in our area and he confirmed it. He said that they have this problem all the time. People take these NATIONALLY accredited online courses, not realising that they will not be accepted by the state education department. I had wasted my time and money. He told me to go to my local community college. In New Hampshire you can take 3 credits per semester in early childhood education, absolutely free (worth $600)if you work in a state registered center. Maybe your state has something similar?
If you want to learn as a hobby, then this college is great. If you need the credits for your work, you may as well present your employer with a diploma written on toilet paper. THEY WILL PROBABLY NOT ACCEPT THEM. I know it's a hassle, but check first before you sign up.
I am astonished that these people are allowed to do buisness in this country as this is no more than a confidence trick.
These people will tell you anything to get you to sign up. They told me FOUR times that their early childhood education course would be accepted by the education department. At the New Hampshire state level (which is what counts) THEY ARE NOT. *** me for being so trusting. I didn't expect to be repeatedly told such bare faced lies.
The debate about whether or not they will transfer is a red herring. What matters is that they are not fit for purpose. If you bought a bucket to carry water and it had *** in the bottom, you'd take it back right? It would be no good for the purpose in which it was sold to you. An Ashworth college credit will probably not get you any further in your career. Your employer will sympathise, but tell you that they are sorry, they can't accept it. It is not fit for the purpose in which it was sold to you.
Check Ashworth out on the Better Business Bureau site. As I type they have a D+.
If you have already signed up and try to cancel, they will tell you that you have to pay a cancellation fee or (as in my case) kept calling me to demand that I pay $900 for the rest of the course. Kick up a fuss and refuse. They will back down and put your account to 0.00. Get them to email that to you and send you a hard copy. If you have nothing in writing from these people, then it didn't happen. They know every trick in the book.
I suspect that the good reviews are written either by company employees, or those who have not yet tried to use their Ashworth credits out in the real world.
You are saying I owe a bill that I feel I dont owe
Ashworth University you say I owe a bill from 2005 to 2006 that I don't. I paid the first month bill on my second semester of Early Childhood Education and I never received the work books or any of the information to get started so I don't feel like I owe this bill.I called many times to see why I never received my work books and I was told that the Ashworth University had no updated information for me. I know you have been paid for this so you need to fix this so I can have it taking off my credit.And the creditors will stop calling.

All they wanted was money i have not started any school but yet i payed 200 dollers thjen when i got
I never took course but have been turned to collection agency.
Recently, I have been receiving calls from collection specialists in India. They are barely understandable and claim that I owe over $800 for a course that I have never taken.
I had never even heard of Ashworth University until the first call that I received. The collection agency is located in Philadelphia but even though they said I had to write to Ashworth and dispute this they could not even provide me with an address to mail it to. He even had nerve enough to get angry when I pointed that out to him.
When I was told they could offer me a settlement, I simply said "Even if you offered to settle for $5 I would not pay because I did not take any course."

Ripoff University
Ripped off, mistreated or otherwise wronged
Ashworth College has wrong hundreds of students, the evidence of which can be seen throughout the web in RippedOff Reports, PissedConsumer posts and every forum with any kind of online education association. Yet they continue to operate without consequence. They maintain a significant student base that remains ignorant of these transgressions, most by choice, and who can blame them? We love the idea of what Ashworth offers; an affordable education we can obtain from the comfort of our homes while working full time. Naturally a majority choose to look the other way while a consistent percentage of Ashworths student base is brazenly ripped off or otherwise mistreated. After all, it hasn't happened to them... yet, they don't have to worry...
I seek to enlighten those who have not yet suffered the emotional and financial hardships so many of us have endured at the hands of Ashworth. So please, put ink to paper or in this case, finger to key and tell your story, who knows... someone might be reading.
