Complaint Review: Indiana Business College-Medical Division - Indianapolis Indiana

I want to know if any of the students got any of their money back or if any of them filed complaints because several students have filed on this particular company and I haven't heard of any refunding as of yet! I think that the people who find out the truth feel powerless but I don't! I have a big mouth and I will use it to the best of my ability. What is sadder is that most of the students there are sacrificing their children's happiness for nothing and then they pay the employees extra money so they don't say anything because why else would you knowingly live a lie for years? It's sad that people will go straight to hell for money that you can't die with anyways! The school is only for TRAINING purposes and they only have two programs that will transfer into a select few schools but that is through their business campus and their fees are so high that it is ridiculous!But since a few of those are for profit schools they can accept any credits they want so it's still fraudulent and deceptive either way it goes.

I am a Nurse Practitioner, who took a year off to teach in a medical education program in a private "college" such as you speak of, here in Northern California. You are right when you say that they DON'T really care whether you get a job or not; they ARE concerned about making their admissions quota, offering you (in addition to your Federal Student Aid), private "low-interest" loans paid back directly to them, and having enough revenue to generate ads to get more students in that will be in the same boat as you. I was supposed to be able to make LVN's out of people who were essentially illiterate. How, you ask, did they qualify for the program? They were "assisted" by the admissions reps and "prepped" for the admissions exam (which was basic reading comprehension and basic 8th grade math). Wanted to be a pharmacy tech? You have a criminal record and are on diversion for "manufacture and sale of methamphetamine"? Not a problem! Gee, you can't get a license after you graduate because of the criminal record? Too bad, but you have to pay your loans off. This really happened where I taught. Eight months of this was all I could take, so I went back to being a clinician. I could not in good conscience send some of these people out on clinical assignments, as they could not properly read the patient's chart, diagnosis, medication orders, etc. I did give weekly spelling tests, but it hard to undo 12 years of being passed through, ready or not. Community colleges do offer much better quality vocational programs than what you got and at a much lower cost. You MAY have recourse. Contact your state Bureau of Vocational and Secondary Education and relay to them what you have relayed on this board. I definitely don't think you got what yor paid for. Good luck.
