Bait and switch
Yup, I'm another victim. I signed up with this crumby school in Aug of 2011 for the "I.T." Certificate. $20, 000 for a Certificate that I cannot obtain. I go to the Campus in Bellingham WA and the "teachers" there aren't even teachers, they have no Teaching Degrees to speak of at all. My instructor forces us to memorize things in order to pass his outrageous and lengthly quizzes and tests. Memorizing and LEARNING are Two different things. Out of all the students that have come through this program, ONE has succeeded in obtaining his Microsoft Certification, and that was only because he had several years experience in the field. I have complained numerous times to the Dean and Career Success Advisors with no acknowledgement of my issues. In fact, I was told that I need to seek professional pyschological help!!! I'm done with this school very soon, and when I'm done, I AM GETTING A LAWYER. DO NOT EVER GO TO CHARTER COLLEGE, THEY ARE A TOTAL SCAM.

Harrasment,Policies,Racism and policies
Hello,
My name is Angelique Mahan and I attended Charter College, Oxnard from Nov 1 2010 to February 2012.
I began in the MICB courses, which are for Medical Billing/Coding and Reimbursement. We were told that this would come with a certification by the state. Half the way through our program it was insisted that we change to the new HIT program for Hospital Information Technology. We were told that we would be given a test so that we may certify for this and maintain a job in this RHIT field. We were told this is the certification we need because it will hopen doors for employment in; hospitals, clinics, urgent care units and private practice. We were convinced by the powers that be, that this is the way of the medical future and this is where we should be.
However, graduation came and we found out that not only do we not receive the test for our certification, we found out we are NOT even ALLOWED to test in the field of RHIT without having work experience in that field.
We left Charter with nothing. I maintained a 3.77 GPA and won the college scholarship for academics and in the end the degree I received does not allow me to work in that field. The degree is useless.
I am furious that I am spending over 20k for an education for a field in which I cannot work in. I did not participate in graduation because I felt horrible about the degree I received. I have a degree in HIT however I am not allowed to work in this field without an accreditation and I cannot get an accredition by the state unless I have worked in this field for years.
I decided to go through AHIMA myself to get my RHIT but that is not allowed either.
I made many complaints to Charter with no avail. I was told that after we graduate the will give us a boot camp for MICB to test for our CMRS in billing. However, the boot camps are on weekends and I cannot go due to having my autistic child with me.
I asked the school to admit their mistake but they refuse. However, they are offering a boot camp at no charge on the weeknd and employing an instructor to teach it, yet they still claim no responsibilty to their students.
I am disgusted with their actions and plan on filing with the better business burearu as well. Please take heed of this call.
Charter should end the RHIT program! Students will pay over 20k to find out they CANNOT WORK IN THE FIELD WITHOUT PRIOR EXPERIENCE!
I am asking you to follow through with this complaint. I am consulting with an attorney in April regrading trying to get my financial aid back from a school that took it and lied about what our RHIT really means. It means nothing.
I tried to apply for a billing job and was told I needed CMRS and RHIT certification. None of which Charter offered to me.
Please check into this. It is disgusting what is going on there. I have literally been in classes when the instructor was 45 min late! I have seen an instructor roll out of bed and have the smell of alcohol on them during the morning class.
There are too many wrongs to list. I implore you to do the right thing and disband the RHIT program with a fine for milking students financial support.
Thank you for listening,
Angelique Mahan
This is the exact compliant filed wtih ACIS their accredition committee..
