I finished my course, got my certificate and now I have a job. It was okay, couldn't log in few times, got pissed off with the *** tutors, books take forever to come & your student protal stops working few times.

Also *** up my grade when I was at a 97% and then go taken to a D.. Then I messaged their support team and they also *** me over. After all that I got an 80% when I really should have gotten a higher mark. Probably wont we doing another course with them.

Other then that I have a $19 job now. So thanks Ashworth but GET YOUR *** TOGETHER BEFORE YOU GET SUED BY SOME RICH ***.

A complete lie

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I enrolled with ashworth college in July of 2017. After a few weeks of my online class information on their website and through the Colorado department of Education was not adding up. I contacted Ashworth to see about switching programs. They informed me that this was not an option and I would need to drop the program I was in and re-enroll into a new program. I had already put some money down toward my program I was in and they also informed me that I would lose the money put down and I would need to pay for the new program on top of a 97.00 cancellation fee. I then decided to wait and gather more information. I contacted again CDOE and they informed me that ashworth college is not accepted and to receive the 2 classes I would need to take at a community college I would need to complete ashworths full associates program and pay the 1399.00 each semester. After hearing this information I decided ashworth was not for me and I called them back. I spoke with natasha. She informed me that he was sorry of the fact I was mislead and that she would drop me from the program and that she would submit a request to have the 97.00 cancellation fee wrote off. Natasha also informed me that the money I put down would be lost due to the fact that I had already completed only 7% of the first class(3online tests). I was devastated because right now I am a stay at home mom and my husband is the only one working and the money I put down is completely useless not and I have nothing to show. before getting off the phone with Natasha I asked her if I would be receiving a collections notice in the mail like others have due to lies and he reassured me that I would not and with in 3-4 business days the 97.00 would be off my account. Today August 16th 2017 I received a bill from ashworth. I called them today to see why this was and they informed me that Natasha was incorrect and I am responsible to pay the additional 97.00 to drop from their school on top of the money I put down that would be lost. At this point I can't believe their is a school like this out there. That lies to their students and that doesn't stand behind what they say. I would never ever recommend this school to anyone.

Please promise that whichever institution of higher learning you eventually select :

(A) you will undertake remedial English and composition.

(B) learn to avoid handling fiduciary business via telephone or text message.

(C) study Contracts 101 which will help you avoid the emotional reaction you have suffered as a result of careless situation management.

I hated college even more than I hated high school partially because of their unmitigated greed and impersonal , intractable institutional corruption.

Oh Smitty!!! Love your input.

However I have completed those courses and I have graduated from college already. I was enrolling in Ashworth to start a new career since I have been at home with my son since he was born.

I am sorry you find it interesting to comment on reviews that obviously don't pertain to you! I hope you however have a wonderful day and I wish you the best.

Garbage school!!! Hate it there, ridiculous...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Over the years, my girlfriend has been taking classes and just this past month, she was told she had only three classes left for her BA. Then, yesterday, they told her NO, she had five semesters to go for the degree. Twenty classes!!! I was like "what the heck" and they just want your $$$ The classes are way too hard especially the Statistics one which had assignments worthy of a Ph.D. course. The tests are tricky and only cover one sentence in an entire chapter. Very poorly designed. I am a 25+ year veteran teacher and professor. I would never make tests with these types of multiple choice questions.

ASHWORTH UNIV.-GHOST SCHOOL ON PHANTOM DRIVE IS A SCAM AND I NEVER HEARD OF THEM UNTIL RECENTLY AND NEVER ATTENDED THERE ARE CHARGING ME $750 FOR SOMETHING I NEVER TOOK NOR HEARD OF.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I've been trying to clear this up for years now. I reside in Grand Rapids Michigan and I graduate from a local school college here so why would I attend this university just to be hypothetical it would not make any sense as I have my degree. I sent them the information along with a letter Stating that I never attended that school. Took any classes online or other etc. Sometime later, I received a letter from them saying I oh all of this money, so again I call and write another letter. Rewind months almost a year later, and I received a collection agency call them tell them what happened write a letter disputing thought it was cleared up and now I received another letter from the new collection agency saying at all or seven 4782 for something I never chuck never heard of at the time and graduated from a local college here in Michigan. I am frustrated and NBA and annoyed as I'm trying to improve my credit not add anything negative to at in this it has reported to the agencies of such. I've tried everything in my power and wasted months of my time now and I get nowhere. This has to be illegal somehow, someway! Between this university and other places that have done the same to consumers, shame on you! It's so beyond frustrating that we, as innocent bystanders, have to spend our time on such nonsense and in reference to things we never were involved with, nor should be charged for! It all goes into the same realm as the "innocent until proven guilty," theme, which we all know is completely false and vice versa! People have to spend thousands of dollars due to "hearsay" or false, fraudulent claims that are made against them, and what do they get in return after proving their innocence and non-involvement within all of this???? Absolutely NOTHING except a huge attorney bill to prevent fake charges being brought into them and etc... So why do innocent people have to pay out of pocket to prove their worthiness and innocence in things like this??? It makes ZERO sense! And I understand if it something where there's a past in the powder in a reasonable suspicion or things like that. But not like this and other similarities. I'm sorry to get off track here but if people want to bring out false claims, accusations, and other such fake news about others, I don't think that it's right, fear, and completely not constitutional that we have to pay out of our pocket for an attorney for things we never dead or partook in at all that should be a free charge once your innocence is proven and then you should be reimbursed for your time and stressors, to say the least. I'm getting so sick and tired of this country and the screwed up one sided rules, that I could scream. Constitutional- NOT Fair- NOT Innocent Until "PROVEN" Guilty- ABSOLUTELY NOT! (What actually constitutes "proven," anyways??) --You see, this is ALL a Hoax! It's a vicious circle of BS, to say the least. (Someone once referred it to a Pet Gerbil or Hamster in a cage, when it's spinning around and around on its wheel. -And, that is EXACTLY what this and other similar nonsense is! ALL nothing other than A vicious-never ending circle of nothingness, while ending up at square one, when it's all said and done.. I don't think it's fair nor legally correct, that as an innocent, innocuous bystander, one should have to spend such countless hours of their time to prove their innocence of such and get nowhere. How is this "innocent until proven guilty?"

Terrible college only cares about money

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I started my program in 2001 and I had to stop due to many issues. Started back up and received my degree.

In that time no one asked me for more money or harassed me. I enrolled back last year for another degree I took a little long due to a death in the family. They wanted to charge me 75.00 because I took too many months off. Now I took years precious and they were fine.

When I called to explain they didn't want to hear it just pay. I didn't had to cancel now they want a bigger fee. I reported them to better business burea they are money hungry rude and mean!!!!!

Will never go back. I am a military spouse too my husband is retired they don't care.

Ashworth College - Paralegal Studies Program Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
NEVER USE THIS SCHOOL!!!! Worst on line learning experience and back end customer services interactions. I was told I would get text books then told they were back ordered. I did not receive all my books. The teaching was poor and I could not follow the course work on a paralegal diploma. I also work in the industry. I was told after I couldn't follow the course work even after reviewing the syllabus. To figure it out myself it is all in portal. I have limited access to a computer. The customer service instructors were useless. I asked for a refund I was told no. They said they no longer have text books sent out to students. I was just told they are on line. I signed up for text books to since I need a tangible book to study. I wasted $600.00 on this course. I was told to fill out a customer complaint form..... yeah I wasted money on a useless program!! DO NOT use this college!!!!!

DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON ASHWORTH COLLEGE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

For anyone thinking about going to an online school please stay away from ASHWORTH COLLEGE, this school is the absolute WORST. I’m not locking online learning at all just this lousy, pathetic “school”.

Do NOT be fool by their so called affordable price, IT’S A COMPLETE WASTE OF YOUR MONEY AND TIME. I own a small bookkeeping company and require all our associate bookkeepers to have bookkeeping credentials. I decided to enroll one of staff members at Ashworth “College”; I wasn’t sure if this would the company’s preferred school, so I decided I would enroll and shallow the employee. I glance over the curriculum and thought it interesting but not in-depth.

As my employee moved along in the program I would ask questions or explain different aspects of bookkeeping and accounting to her you could tell by the look on her face she was lost. Then I began the program, which I grossly inadequate, and poorly developed. Much to my surprise this school takes students money and provides NO contact to an instructor I mean NO contact. The students in their bookkeeper diplopia program are given a textbook and three workbooks and left 100% on their own.

At the end of the program there is a final project no one there seems know anything about. I know this because when I noted contradictions in their spread sheets and contacted them, at first, they try to explain but when challenged them and it became apparent to them they couldn’t just tell me anything old thing they became defensives and refuse to speak to me. Keep in mind I was a student. All anyone needs to do is take a look in their bookkeeping forum, a 80% of the students are stuck on the final project, lost and hopeless.

It’s heartbreaking. These people thought there were going to get an education, without assistance they will never complete the program and the greedy people behind this lousy school gets to keep their money, it’s a SHAME. PS.

The program comes with automatic access to NBA Bookkeepers Certification exam, my employee has been waiting almost 3 weeks and counting…. Please don’t waste your money on this scam of school.

Youre absolutely right.Wish I could ask for my money back. I thought I could take as a refresher since I have a two year accounting degree.

It can not be this difficult, the course and the exam were poorly thought out. I would not recommend to anyone.

Conlan Bza

Is anyone interested in a class action lawsuit? The final project can’t be completed for full credit, it sets students up to fail.

I have spent hours and hours on it, the total they indicate for the balance sheet and income statement can’t be attained without instruction.

I ended up putting the difference to a suspense account that I created just to turn in the assignment. I wish I would have found these reviews sooner.

Yes I am definitely interested as that is exactly my issue to date. Stuck on the final and I so wished I would've found this site before I spent my money. They're beyond a waste and unprofessional.

Guest

I couldn't agree more with every comment here about Ashworth(less) college. There is absolutely NO help anywhere.

You can't even email your instructor. I am just looking for the excel spread sheets in the practice set 3 and no one can tell me how to access them.

Total waste of money. Wish I knew how to get the word out faster about this school that is, in my opinion, a total scam!

Guest

Wish I had found this post sooner! I've having the exact same trouble!

Would have been cheaper to pay on the NBA site to just take the test... even if I had to do it three times.

I’m on the final project right now and I am at a complete loss

Ashworth College - Pharmacy Technician Program Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I attended Ashworth for a short time after I found out that they weren't a nationally accredited college and that my employer wouldn't accept this degree. I then contacted the school and let them know that I no longer want to complete this program.

This school allowed you to pay as you go so once you finish AJ a course you go to the next. So I paid for three classes and when I changed my mind they put 1500 on my credit report for classes I never took.

Has anyone in florida took pharmacy tech through ashworth online school? If so does florida except the certification?

Guest

I completed the Pharmacy Tech program and upon completion was told they were no longer paying for the PTCB exam which was part of the tuition. So, here I am stuck paying for the full tuition and not able to take the national exam, unless I pay for it again on my own.

This was a total waste of my time and money. I would not recommend this program to my worst enemy.

Ashworth College CAD course Online Textbook access not compatable

I signed up with Ashworth College to take the CAD Online Course. The first week I spent learning about the campus and their website, this cancelled my five day option to cancel the course.

Then first assignment was to read first 51 pages while applying the read material in the CAD window, but I could only print but one at a time. After printing two pages there was data missing between pages one and two. There is no way I can complete the course this way. The advisers told me that that is the way the course is.

I asked for my money back and to UN-enroll me.

I always check for complaints before buying, I didn’t his time because it was a college. Don’t get involved with Ashworth College it is a rip-off.

Ashworth College - Paralegal Certificate Program Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have had double and triple billing issues with this "college". The representative totally misrepresented the college's program.

I have talked to billing over and over, sent credit card statements and still charge my card twice a month, plus send me paper invoices each month. I was advised to fike a "ticket", my account shows no tickets filed on my account. This is 6 tickets I've tried to file. I received a phone call that I had a $30 balance.

I said there's no way as I have been doubke billed. I was told this was not possible. I said I had credit card statements that prove otherwise. The woman started a rant and ended up haning-up on me.

Totally unprofessional, not willing to make things right. I also have yet to receive anymore textbooks, etc. for next part of studies. Since October it's been on "backorder"...yeah right.

I'm paying double for classes I can't even complete because they send no materials. It's basically self taught, I wouldn't need schooling to read material on my own. Email "instructor" for help, no answer back. Paying for nothing.

Avoid at all cost it's a worthless scam. I'm filing consumer complaint with Attorney General, and have to file disputes with credit card company each month over extra charge.

SCAM!!!! Double billing is a CRIME!!!
