    I'm enrolled in a course that has outdated curriculum. I was not contacted by the institution nor my Instructor. I had to use you tube videos to supplement my learning. That's when I figured out that ****** updated it's entire platform from UA to GA4. I have originally notified ed2go on Aug 4. Thru a series of emails, I was told resolution would be ***** hours, then 7 days, then finally that ed2go has to ***** me access. My emails to ed2go do not get addressed right away. When I call I get a phone rep who says they are a "student advisor." I have not received any advisement, nor SMART goal, nor action plan on how I can access the up to date curriculum. These phone reps do very little to escalate my concerns, and refuse to provide me to process of filing a grievance. The phone rep refuse to provide me and email or contact information to move my concern up the chain of command. The rep told me they have escalated my issue to "escalations," and they only act internally. These reps do very little for customer service for next steps with timelines and have poor to little service recovery. I want the all time ed2go has taken to figure out how to get me into the updated curriculum to transfer over to my extension. I have notified ed2go and simplilearn for an extension, slimplilearn *****ed another 30 days. I still have not heard back from Ed2Go. I was told by Ed2Go phone rep, that the extension is only for 30 days and anything more I need to pay out of pocket. I can understand if I'm not able to make time for my learning. However in this case I do have time and no access to the proper course. I figured out on my own that I could take other lessons while waiting, the phone rep "student advisor" never told me that. These phone reps provide very little to none on advisement or what that should look like. I still need to know what is going on and ed2go is saying "we are working on it," "when we know, you will know."

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out. The vendor we use to provide this content is currently in the process of updating the course. We are just waiting on approval from the certifying body. It should be available in early October. 

    In the meantime, our Support Team is requesting a 6-month extension for this student at no cost and a course suspension until the course has been revised in early October. 

    Please let us know if this is acceptable. 

    Thank you.

    On August 31st 2022 the check I provided for ed2go was cleared and I was enrolled in their "Cisco CCNA Certification Training (Voucher Included)" <--That quote is directly from their own website. I have since come to discover that their "training" is subpar at best. I have not requested a refund of any sort, only the voucher code that was supposed to be included in their $2,495 price. I have found free training on YouTube that puts what they are charging for to shame. When I made a request for the voucher for which I paid I was refused and told that without completing their program it will not be issued. Nowhere in ANY nomenclature on their website or through emails sent to me was this proposed as a stipulation (had it been I would never have engaged in business with them). When I expressed this over the phone I was promptly hung up on. 2 additional calls had identical results and now when I call, their IVR system puts me into a queue for 3 minutes then forwards me to a voicemail that allows for exactly 2 seconds of input before ending and then severing the call. These are all typical tactics of scam operators to avoid being questioned.

    Hello,

    Our Support Department reached out to this student by phone on 8/30/23 and an exception to policy was made in order to give the student the voucher that goes with their program. 

    From: C*******, J********e 
    Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2023 4:06 PM
    To: ****** Wells
    Subject: Important Notice: Voucher Provision Exception
    Importance: High

    Hello ******,

    I am writing to provide you with crucial information regarding your recent voucher request. As outlined in Southern Tech comprehensive course catalogue, under the section FAQs: What happens after I complete my course?", it states the following:

    Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded a certificate of completion. You will also receive an exam voucher if you selected the voucher included version course for the 200-301 CCNA certifying exam once you've met your financial obligation and completed all coursework.

    I want to emphasize that our standard policy strictly mandates course completion as a prerequisite for voucher issuance. However, in consideration of your unique circumstances, we have taken the exceptional step of making a one-time exception to our policy.

    I am pleased to inform you that, despite not having fulfilled the course requirements, you will receive the requested voucher. We understand the urgency of your situation and are committed to addressing your needs to the best of our abilities. However, it is crucial to underscore the significance of completing the course before utilizing the voucher.

    By completing the course prior to voucher usage, you ensure comprehensive coverage of all essential content, thereby significantly enhancing your prospects for success in your Certification Exam. This approach guarantees a thorough understanding of the material and maximizes your preparedness for the Certification exam. 

    You will soon receive an email from our ed2go team, containing detailed information on how to redeem your voucher and the next steps to proceed. They will provide guidance and support throughout the process.

    We want to clarify that this voucher is a one-time exception, and no further exceptions will be made in the future. It is important to adhere to our standard policy regarding course completion for any subsequent requests.

    Should you have any inquiries or concerns regarding this exceptional arrangement or the course completion requirement, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am readily available to address any queries you may have and provide further clarification as needed.

    We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Your commitment to your educational journey is highly valued, and we are fully committed to supporting you in attaining the best possible outcome.

    Best regards,

    J********e C*******

     I am rejecting this response because: The business did, finally, acquiesce to my demand of the voucher for which was paid. However, in their response they have made it very clear that the ONLY reason they have done so is in response to this complaint, several negative online reviews, potential litigation and the complaint being shared with the indigenous nation and multiple military veteran groups of which I am a member in order to dissuade any further commerce with the company. It needs to be public record available for others to make them aware of the practices of the company. Following this statement please feel free to close the case.

    This program was a such a waste of time and money. Once you pay the 2700, you are on your own. I had trouble with getting in touch with the med term teacher. I had to call several times to get them to do their job. I was rejected from the NHA for the voucher and once again had to call. this is still not resolved. Looks like Ill be paying out of pocket to take the national exam. Could have passed without this course.

    According to our records, the
    student was approved to register for the CCMA exam yesterday and then rejected
    for the CMAA exam (she’s not enrolled in CMAA, the reason for the rejection
    email). She is good to go to register for the CCMA exam. 

    Our records indicate our team responded in a timely manner to all inquiries.

    Due to an extenuating circumstance, I had requested that I get an extension on the course I enrolled in. The representative informed me that I can only have that option for instructor led courses and not self paced courses. From my research, I could not find anywhere in the policy where there was a distinguished difference or where it stated that self paced courses were ineligible for extension. I did see however that you're supposed to get 10 days extension automatically from the end date which this is only day 2. I then asked for a refund to which I was told you only have 13 days to apply for that from the start date. I researched this and did see that it said some exceptions could be made after 10 days when requesting a refund. The representative did not tell me this and I believe my circumstance could qualify but I was never asked for a reason. I would like direct contact from the business to demonstrate to me where this is stated in the policy since I cannot find that. If they are unable to provide proof of policy, I would request extension or refund. Otherwise I will consider legal counsel. Thank you

    This is a duplicate complaint. First complaint was assigned **********

    Student was provided with his school administrator's contact information for follow-up to inquire about his options.

    In the meantime, our Support Team has provided the student a complimentary pass to the same course he was previously enrolled in, which will provide him with 6 weeks of access to the instructor-led course.

    With our drop/refund time we clearly note this on the student
    enrollment confirmation:

    “Please Note: This course is non-refundable after 13 calendar
    days after your session start date. Self-paced Tutorials: 13 calendar days from
    enrollment. Instructor Led: 13 calendar days from session start regardless of
    enrollment date. Course Bundles: 13 calendar days from session start date of
    the first course in the bundle. Any course that has been completed or where the
    final exam has been accessed is no longer eligible for refund.”

    I am unsure where he is getting an exception after 10 days for
    refund when on the Confirmation it clearly notes 13 days. (He may be referring to our Advanced Career Training Programs. These are longer in duration, and much more expensive.)

    As for extension time, under Help in the FAQ section under the
    “How do Self-Paced Tutorial courses work?” it notes this:

    “Self-Paced Tutorial courses are open enrollment, meaning you
    can enroll and start a course any time it is convenient. After enrolling, you
    will receive all lessons immediately and have three months access to complete
    the course content. Self-Paced Tutorial courses do not have extensions.”

    I think the student is confusing the listed Instructor-Led
    course option with what is listed above for the Self-paced options.  Within the same FAQ section under “Are
    extensions available for Instructor-Led courses?” it notes this:

    “At the end of the two-week final exam period, an additional
    10-day extension is automatically provided to finish any remaining course
    material. No additional extensions are provided beyond these 10 days.”

    So we notify time frame for refunds on the Confirmation provided
    both on screen and emailed to the student. And the site FAQ notes the
    variations and what is provided.  I
    pulled the FAQ from the same site the student enrolled through for the
    courses.  His previous courses were under
    the Instructor Led Option and I think he has confused the two separate options.

    Let me know if anything else is required.

    I purchased the pharmacy technician program that includes the voucher online course with ed2go. I did start the program but I did not finish it nor have I taken the final exam. I have recently been diagnosed with a dysautonomia which is a disability and now I am being put on disability for this health condition. I reached out to ed2go for a drop/refund due to my extenuating circumstances and was completely denied. Their reason being the student enrollment agreement. I read the agreement when I paid for the class however I was not bedridden at the time, having constant migraines every day, blacking out and not being able to function properly, being put on disability, going to doctors appointments more than once every week, and to treatment 5 days a week. I told them in my request all books/works books have not been touched and the lab kit that I received is still in the shipping box it came in. I have spoken to SEVERAL student support reps/ advisors. I even asked to speak to a manager or someone higher up but was told every time they were unavailable, or in a meeting and i would have to leave a message for them to contact me back. I understand they have to have guidelines and certain rules and I completely respect that. I am not trying to take advantage of a situation in anyway but right now I cannot physically or mentally complete that course and I paid $2500 for it to simply just let it go. I need the money more to support myself now than I need this course. But what bothers me most is that they are prioritizing their guidelines over a students health condition that’s so bad they are having to be put on disability for it. I cannot comprehend in what sense money and guidelines are more important than someone’s life / wellbeing. I really hope this review opens their eyes as to their students not being able to control what happens after those (10) days are up and I pray that no other person has to go through this situation with them at all.

    Hello,

    This appears to be a duplicate complaint. This student filed a complaint last week regarding the same matter. 

    Our Support Team has been in contact with the student. We have confirmed with Launch (loan provider) that they have begun the process to remove the student from the account. The student will need to allow time for the processing and subsequent action items to be completed.

    In summary, the primary borrower on
    the account submitted ALL the required information including the SSN,
    address, and date of birth – we absolutely would not have authorized a
    finance plan without this information, nor would we be able to report on a
    person’s credit file without the SSN being initially submitted.

    Ed2go did not receive
    the full fraud packet until 5/17/2023 and we notified Launch to remove the
    cosigner on 5/25/2023.

    In regards to the resolution requested we
    are meeting the cosigner’s request.

    If the student wishes to comment further, we ask she kindly reply to this thread vs. opening a new complaint.

    I took a freight brokers course through ed2go and completed it in October 2022. I paid my balance in full and was told I would receive my certificate in 6-8 weeks. It has been 6 months or so and I have yet to receive a certificate. I have contacted ed2go and the school several times and still have not received it. I am at the point that I don't know who to contact or where to turn. I feel in my heart I was scammed and my money was taken because there is no way 6-8 weeks turns into 6 months. I have emails and my call log to prove that I have been trying to resolve it and get my certificate. If I can't get my certificate I need my money back because it was wasted time and money for something I don't have.

    Hello,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. Mississippi Delta Community College has had some staffing changes recently. One of our staff members contacted the new account manager at the partner school and walked them through the process of issuing certificates. The manager created the certificate of completion while on the phone
    with our staff and will be emailing it to the student shortly.

    Please let me know if you do not receive the certificate within the next 24 hours. Thank you so much for your patience.

    On 12/02/2022 I completed the Freight Broker's course. On 12/06/2022 I contacted my instructor to find out my course grade and when my course certificate of completion would be arriving. My instructor (the one who teaches and grades the test/quizzes) informed me that she didn't know my grade but that I would have to call and get this information from ED2GO. Knowing that I completed all assignments and pretty much had good scores on all test/quizzes this was not an issue for me I simply wanted to post and frame my certificate. My instructor then told me my certificate would take 6-8 weeks to be mailed. WHAT? I completed the course and have to wait this long for a certificate after paying $1,800 with an additional $300 to get (2) course extensions? To add injury to insult, I am being told today that there are course assignments missing and thus, I cannot receive a grade or a certificate. I signed up for this course not only because of my personal interest in the industry but also because it was being offered by a reputable school, The University of North Carolina in Charlotte who supposedly has a partnership with ED2GO. However, it appears to be a scam. You have to pay for the course, any extensions and now it looks like you may even have to pay for a grade and your course certificate. Why didn't a counselor or advisor contact me to say I was missing assignments? After 12/02/2022 my access was completely shut off to the course portal. Of course I was told there could be fees in order to submit the missing assignments which I adamantly refute that I need to submit. I will be requesting partial refund or taking them to court as they misrepresented everything about this course. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT ENROLL IN ANY COURSES BY ED2GO....

    Business Response

    Date: 02/17/2023

    Hello,

    The student did not complete the program at the time she submitted this complaint. Due to a miscommunication between the student and instructor, we are opening the course to allow her the opportunity to complete the final two assignments. Once she does this, the instructor will grade her assignments ASAP, and then she'll be eligible for a Certificate of Completion. Her school will issue a digital copy of the Certificate so the student doesn't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. 

    Hopefully this solution is an acceptable compromise.

    I purchased an education product from them in July. I started the course but stayed under the limit allowed in the refund section. The initial refund was good for 10 days then by circumstance only. In September I was accepted to Graduate school that would start in October. I explained the situation to them and they refused to cancel the course and give the refund. They said it was past 10 days which it was. I went on to discuss the other part of the refund policy that states extenuating circumstances. They would not discuss this part of the issue and stuck with the 10 days. I asked for their definition of extenuating and was basically ignored. I contacted the University extension that this program was going through and they offered to refund their portion of the money since they could see the validity of the circumstance. They had two versions that you could buy. The first was the class only, and the second was the class and a voucher to take a test. I asked if they would at least refund the voucher which they now claimed they were not able to split the two. Around December I finally got one of the books for the class, which is obviously well past the 10 days to refund my money. Given that they don't seem to have a definition of extenuating to give anyone other than no your past the 10 days and the fact that several months went by before they delivered the books for the course I would like a full refund.

    Hello,



     



    Refund requests outside of our 10-day
    policy are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Since the student’s sole reason for
    requesting a refund was because they were accepted into a grad program, this would
    not fall under our approved reasons for a drop outside of policy. Yes, they did
    submit their request within their initial duration of access (1 year), but
    their reason was not approved per policy.  We also try to reiterate to
    students that the course is self-paced and that they can log in when they can
    to complete it within their initial duration of access.



     



     5. REFUND POLICY: For refunds requested within ten (10) calendar days
    commencing on the date listed as the Start Date in the ed2go Student Center,
    one hundred percent (100%) of the tuition amount shall be refunded, provided no
    more than fifty percent (50%) of the program has been completed and all course
    materials are returned in as-new condition to ed2go at the Student’s expense.
    Such materials must be received within ten (10) days of the date of Materials
    Return Instructions sent by ed2go to the Student by email notification. The
    cost of materials not received or those that cannot be returned (such as
    software, memberships, exam vouchers, exam sponsorship, equipment, etc.) shall
    not be refunded to the Student. Refunds shall be paid to the Student or Finance
    Plan forgiveness shall be granted within thirty (30) days following the
    deactivation date of the program.
     




    The student also mentions in his BBB complaint
    that they didn’t receive their materials in a timely manner. We
    checked the tracking information and see that the student received the
    first book on 7/11/22 and the second book on 10/28/22.



    The book that the student received a few months after enrollment was
    available as an e-book, so the student could have utilized that in the
    meantime.



    Unfortunately, we must again deny this
    student’s request for a refund.



     



    Sincerely,

     I am rejecting this response because:


    They are still not providing a response as to what would constitute a reason outside the 10 days. At the sole discretion of the program is not an excuse and would simply allow the denial of all claims.

    Hello,

    An additional response was sent directly to the student.

    Hello ****,





    My name is ****** and I am part of ed2go’s Student Services Department that
    handles drop and refunds as they relate to the Student Enrollment Agreement.



     



    We received
    your BBB complaint surrounding your recent drop denial as your initial request
    for a refund for the Certified Paralegal (Voucher Included) program was
    denied as you are outside of policy and ineligible for a refund per the Student
    Enrollment Agreement. Ed2go is transparent with policy information and is
    dedicated to helping students succeed through their educational journey.



     



    The Enrollment
    Agreement can be reviewed at: ***********************************************



     



    We understand
    that you are appealing our initial denial due to the policy stating “ unless

    include; death in family, severe illness and/or natural disasters, etc…

     I am rejecting this response because:
    I have read the student agreement and it still gives full discretion to the person doing the review without an sop that would give guidance beyond personal discretion. If a company has policies they need to be stated in writing.

    Hello,

    According to our records, this student's drop request was processed by our team today. I see communication in the student's record between the student and our support staff. 

    If anything else is needed, I would kindly ask the student to reach out to the Student Advising team (*************@cengage.com). 

    Best Regards,
