Intercoast Colleges Reviews

The principal told me that they found a site and I should be starting after the start of the new year. It’s now April, I have not heard anything in over 2 months. I stopped contacting them once the quarantine started. I have even had to re-send them my resume multiple times, when I finally confronted Adriana about being given the run around and not being able to graduate in November she fired back at me with “It's not my fault you took an LOA in September, and we weren’t able to place you.” I had missed one week of school off to recover from surgery. I contacted the Dean and principal about her rude and unprofessional behavior and she was fired. So the most recent excuse I have been given is that the new girl “needed time to establish connections” but that she was working hard to get me placed.

I want to know if what they are doing is in violation of their contract I signed for externship placement and job assistance for life, something that I need to contact a lawyer for? I am now wondering because they made me unenroll, when or if I ever do finally get placed into an externship and complete the hours, am I going to have to pay more money? Because I was assured that it was nothing but a formality and that it wouldn’t cause me to have to re-take any courses. I know that I am capable of getting a job in the industry because I worked for almost a year as an RADT/Care Coordinator and then went onto becoming a case manager. So you would think that with me not only have experience, with technically an AS degree it would improve my chances at being placed.

I am so completely livid and frustrated because I had always dreamed of one day going back to school and getting my AS degree. But because I had 3 children, divorced and also had my own addiction problems I never thought I would ever be able to fulfill that dream. So knowing that I fulfilled all the required courses and not being able to obtain my degree due to them not fulfilling their obligation makes me feel as if I have been taken advantage of, lied to, and unable to advance in my career or even being able to pursue higher education. Sure, I could get find a job as RADT but I will never be able to gain the skills I need in order to advance in the industry.

I wish I would have found this website prior to ever enrolling in this “College”. In response to the person who was asking for people to join in on a class action lawsuit, I would definitely be interested in participating in the lawsuit. Your email was not displayed but you can contact me on Facebook. My name is Sarah ** and I live in Huntington Beach, California. Thank you everyone for your honesty. I hope that you all are able to succeed in your chosen careers. Your experiences have inspired me to seek legal assistance and I am going to inform them of it as well. In fact I’m going to put it into motion right now!

Good luck. I love and support you all!! We are all TRUE VICTIMS at the hands of Intercoast College. Many pending lawsuits against Intercoast College. I urge you to get a better, more respected education somewhere else, at a much more reasonable cost that will NOT ruin your life. You all deserve a good life. Nobody should take your money and never look back.. the way this school does. I do not know how Geeta Brown sleeps at night. No conscience and a poor upbringing, I suppose. You all deserve fairness and happiness. Especially true in the counseling field, where have studied hard to GIVE AND HELP OTHERS!! LOOK ELSEWHERE. GOOD LUCK!! XOX!

I went to the Director (Jim) who told me to go ahead and continue on without the assistance of the teacher. Now if I was going to do that why do I have to pay financial aid back if I was not going to get taught the lesson I signed up for. I understand that I should pay for the books but why am I paying for a lesson I didn't get. My classmates came to me to ask me for help, and how did I get my answers. This school is sad.

I called 3 weeks ago and spoke to Theresa the new director, explained my situation and let her know that I need an explanation, and informed her that wouldn’t have even started the course if I knew from the gate that Intercoast couldn’t teach an out of state student. Again no return call. I also emailed Julie with no response. These people are unprofessional! The school needs to be shut down. DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS SCHOOL. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. THE TEACHING IS SUBPAR.

Today I love going to class. Everyone brings a variety of electrical problems they have experienced thru their relatives or past homes and we use those examples to help that student go back to that location, fix the problem and we discuss what he or she did and how that student's confidence gets built up!! I enrolled in the Electrical program for a couple of reasons: 1. I wanted to learn something I had always had a bit of a fear of. 2. I wanted a skill that was respectable. 3. I wanted to be able to fly into any city, any state or any country and be able to get a job!!

One of the best decision I have ever made. You will read every unbelievable excuse in this forum... Why they weren’t happy. Everything from, why the door to the bathroom squeaked or it rained the day they enrolled or some other lame "Jerry Springer" excuse. Here is your choice. Make the necessary life adjustments and sacrifices or continue complaining about terrible boss, terrible coworkers, terrible pay, terrible life or jump on board and make some changes. Life is hard but it's not that hard!! There is nothing perfect, not your mom, not your dad, not your kids, not your neighbors, nothing is so perfect so get over it. Counselors and teachers are willing to help and go above and beyond.

Alongside that the program was down over a month. Also, I feel from my experience a middle schooler could have done this class and passed. It was horrible. The school costs $15,000 and what do I have to show for it. Absolutely nothing. This school is a scam. So I'd urge you to reconsider before taking online classes at Intercoast. Also if there's anyone out there that has gone through this school and feels the same as I do I'm trying to get people together for a lawsuit. If anyone's interested my email is **. I'd like to stop this school from scamming any more people out of their money.
