Sanford–Brown Reviews

  • Oct 30, 2017

I was decieved and mislead as I was unable to get a job as a MA with my degree from Sanford Brown College. I was promised by the school that I would have a job.

I was told I would make a salary more than what a Medical Assistant really gets paid.I have been fooled into buying an education I have to pay for that is useless to me, and or any employer..

I attened Stanford Brown in Cleveland Ohio in 2013 I was the last Class to graduate due to a teach out. I signed up and put myself in debt because I was told that I would become a certified medical assistant and they would help me find a job after i completed their program. I was also told that 90% of the externships got hired. I was not told that I would have to pay out of pocket for my certifcation tests that cost $250 and $120 because if i would have been told Iwould have never signed up. I went there to get a better job cause at the time i was making $8.10 an hour and supporting my family so how am i affording these tests that should of been in the schools tuistion. So I wasted a year of my time and $10,000 of money i dont have for nothing and this year the goverment took all of my income tax to pay on my loan for and education that i cant even use due to lies

This school was very aggressive in recruiting but through statements by staff members they all knew the school and the promises of jobs paying more then $14 per hr was a sham. Many of the positions that were offered for externship were heavily complained about by most of the female students that went yet they still sent people to the locations. A teacher left the class mid lesson for hematology and never came back. I barely was able to practice the skills I learned. We learned ekg and not one of us could do a proper ekg but we all passed?! There is no way this training was sufficient enough to work classes were promised to be held from 6pm to 10pm yet I was always booted from the building at 845 to 9. Thats a hour of paid class that wasnt received every d**n day!!! I paid 14,000 and I was JIPPED Of classes and supplies the previous classes received and propper PPE. This cant be right. PLEASE HELP!!!

How could this "School" be so heartless. The amount of stress I've dealt with from Sanford Brown is unbearable. I've invested a lot of time and money into an education that ment absolutely nothing on black and white. That put me further in debt and never landed me into the career that was promised. The headaches it has caused me then to later found out that they have sold my loan an closed down. If anybody has experience this please help me overcome the heartache and pain and how to get rid of the scam they've pulled.

Sanford-Brown school is a Rip-Off. I went in desperate for an education and wanting to get an ultrasound tech license. This school preys on the less fortunate, the less knowledable and the people desperately seeking a better future. I went to this school in 2002 and was promised jobs after finishing the school. I graduated and no one told me the state test would be so expensive. Being so young I was not able to pay the fees and I only had a year to come up with the money. I was also told to sign here and here and here not really realizing what I was doing and signed for $11,000 in loans that I am still paying on in 2016. I was told I couldnt apply to take my test until I paid the school $300 that was not covered by loans. All this after I had already finished the course. I went in wanting to be an ultrasound tech and they told me that due to my background and test results I could only to the medical assistant program. After I couldnt get a job with this education I went to my local college and they wouldnt let me get a loan because I owed this school so much money and this school tried to put like 80 hours on my transcript. Which was horrible because after a certain amount of hours the state does not want to give you any loans because it feels you should have a degree by now. This school is a joke! Never go to one of these kind of schools! Later I found out that my local community college offers this same course for $2000 and is way better. Save your money! Dont let your kids waste their time!! Send them to a community college that is not scandalous like these kind.

HELP US START A CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THIS SCHOOL!! I am just so angry with this school! I graduated in 2010 and was. Ever able to find a job in the MEdical field. When I was enrolling I asked if my credits would transfer to another college and they said definitely your credits are fully transferable! They also lied by telling us they would provide job placements and career counseling which they did none of those!

They claim they would help with building your resume but in fact all they did was tell you to hand over your usb drive and they did it themselves and then asked you to go ahead and go back to class... I tried to score some interviews on my own but as soon as they found out what school I graduated from they wouldn't call me back! The teachers there had very little knowledge about teaching and many times I found that the teachers where more interested in having chit chats with students about other things rather than teaching!

I'm upset that I am now 15k in debt and nothing /no degree to show! This school ins now closing down and I don't think it's right to have us re-pay loans for a school that is pure FRAUD!!! I now have depression from all the burden I'm putting on my husband because I still can't find a job in the medical field & I don't honk he should be responsible for paying MY loans!! I really wish we could start a civil suit against them! If. Anyone wants to start something like that it has started one please email me at [email protected]

Sanford Brown College was given us students a promise to get us jobs. As all of graphic designers , fashion, and health are now wondering where are lives are going to end up. We stand for our rights ton get answers to reduce our debt.

I believe I should not have to pay back my student loans and that Sanford Brown should be paying that money back. I went there under the medical billing and coding program and never did get a job in that field. The diploma is not worth anything. I feel like companies laugh at me whenever I say that I had gotten my degree at Sanford Brown. I just wasted all my time, money, and talent at a disgrace of a college. I would like to know how I can join the lawsuit against Sanford Brown.

I, La'Shounda Bennett am filing this report on behalf of the fact that Sanford Brown College in Collinsville, Illinois lied to me and many others during this time, (2006-2007) school year. I simply went in to inquire about computer technology. I was basically forced into applying for classes there after being sold a book full of lies such as: the staff there claimed that any and all credits there would be accounted for if I should choose to further my education at any other school after completing couses at Sanford Brown College in Collinsville, I was also told that the program assists with job placement in my field of study for hire. After being told this by staff there, I specifically asked if their staff would be making connections with employers on my behalf, I was told yes but not to discontinue classes there at Sanford Brown College because they would work around my schedule to ensure that I completed the entire program, was also told that if I wasn't satisfied with the services there within two weeks time, I can withdraw with no problems for as long as it was done in a timely manner within the two week time frame.

Everyone in the classes I took were very excited about the job placement portion of this lecture. On or about the second or third day of attending this school, I began to hear others say things like (they) ,meaning Sanford Brown College lied to us like they're going to help us contact employers in our field of study and get us hired. I was very concerned about this and went to the counselor's office and spoke with the woman whom talked all of this good talk to me and asked her about what I over heard someone else saying to another group of students. This counselor assured me that what the students were saying were untrue and that the staff there WILL be making contact with employers in our field of study. I was also asked alot of personal questions about my immediate family that I felt had absolutely nothing to do with my educational services I requested.

Somewhere within that first week of school, I went into this classroom still uncertain upon whether or not I should continue attending this particular school or not,surprisingly we were told that we were going to have a guest speaker that morning and to pay very close attention to the lecture. I was under the impression that this guest was going to be giving us valuable information on job leads or something else beneficial to the class. Unfortunately, this extremely woman comes in and tells everyone to shut up and listen. She bagan her lecture by saying," I know most of you have been told by the staff here at Sanford Brown College that we would be assisting you all in job placements, that's not true, we will not be doing that,that's entirely up to you." She went on to say "How could we reccommend you all for jobs when you have no skills?" Many people including myself began raising our hands to speak but were told to put our hands down as many as well as myself began to just burst out and ask her questions.

My question was,"Why did the staff lie about helping me find a job while attending school here?" The woman responded by telling me she wasn't done talking yet and that I should not have interrupted her. She also added if any of you guys have a problem with it,you can get up and walk out right now because your money has already been disbursed to the school and that's all on you,we've already got the money. Many students did just that,they got up and walked out of the class as well as the building. Many went to the counselors office. I stayed behind for a little while along with a few other students to hear more of this wicked converstion. The guest speaker then went on to tell us that no one earns a degree there, that this school only offers what we call a "certificate of completion." So those of you whom have been told otherwise,another untruth. We asked her if the school was accredited and she said "no." There are no degrees given nor earned here,she gave an example of something as simple as an high school diploma. She told us there's not very much that you can do with this certificate because many employers will not recognize it and no schools we plan to transfer to and attend will accept it because Sanford Brown College is not accredited.

After hearing or tolerated as much of this lecture as I possibly could, I then went back to the counselors office and asked her why she and others I'd spoken with had lied to me like this. I explained to her that I was low income at that time and that I could not afford to get into that type of debt. I also told her I was a single parent,barely making it and that I didn't want to get into anything that wasn't meant to help better my situation at that time.Unfortunatley,this company is only all about the mighty buck,they did not care about the people they took advantage of and practically laughed in our faces about it. I'd like to see the money they claim I owe them for nothing taken off of my credit report because I was mislead and they're nothing more than scam artists at its best. Something should be done about this company legally. Oh,and now they're permanently closed.Who would've ever thought?
