My number team player, Cindy. She is so friendly and bubbly. Their study material is awesome, easy to grasp with understanding. After that, you can implement their study enhancement skills course at any workplace in real time, and come on top. I am a super skilled IT Support Technician, because of them. Their rebranding won't make any difference, they will still and always be my best IT institution ever. I did my IT Professional with them and usually came on top in my field of IT. I recommend this institution to everyone. Who, dreams to become an IT butter in this dynamic and challenging workplace we are in.

My experience with Chi Academy was…

My experience with Chi Academy was extremely negative and raises serious legal concerns!After successfully passing the selection process for the pre-internship course .NET Developer, I actively attended lectures, completed homework assignments, and invested my time and effort into studying. However, after several weeks, I was suddenly informed that I had been expelled from the course.The reason – my employment as an HR specialist at another IT company. They explained this by citing a so-called “conflict of interest” and the risk of “external hiring.”There were no warnings or restrictions regarding my HR profession during the application process or selection stages.Moreover, I had signed an official service agreement, clearly outlining the responsibilities of both parties, the course program, and the schedule.Chi Academy’s unilateral refusal to fulfill its obligations without any legal grounds is a direct violation of the contract terms and my rights as a customer.I would also like to emphasize: • I did not sign any NDA, non-compete agreement, or other legally binding documents that could justify such a decision. • The entire reason for my expulsion is an internal decision made by the academy, with no legal basis.I consider this a gross violation of consumer rights and discrimination based on professional background.Chi Academy demonstrates complete non-transparency, lack of legal responsibility, and disrespect towards course participants.I strongly do not recommend wasting your time and money on this organization.If you value your rights – stay away from this place.

Junior Computer Education is TERRIBLE

I'm 14. I am on their Junior Computer Education for 2 and half year and I'm leaving currently. It was fine for a year and a half. But then...They give you program what you will be doing and it was true for some time but then we started doing in shity free apps. One example for all instead of coding in Minecraft education we were doing in some replica of Minecraft that was just lagging. You couldn't do anything in it. I asked our teacher about it because I was afraid that some of the things that were in the program will not be done and I was told that somehow the program is changing and no one knows what we will actually do.The teachers are not good either. One was good. He was helpful, friendly, and knew how to teach. Cant say that about the others. Like all the other were just reading script. Didn't knew anything about what we were doing.Don't let your kids go here. Stuff learned here is not useful and I learned much more on my own from internet because it was fun. Here you will be just paying for your child to sit there and listen to presentation being read to them.I hope review from someone ho was here helps and sorry for my English :)

What a scam

What a scam. I signed up for the cybersecurity course and it is all recorded. From my understanding someone will contact me and work with my resume. According to Victor they are supposed to send out your resume to 1000s employees. I have been emailing them and calling them but no response. I will be taking this to the court for this matter. wow

My son is doing a distance learning…

My son is doing a distance learning course with IT Academy. He paid his course in IT Engineering cash. 1st he haid to wait 2 months before he received his 1st books, Secondly after an assignment was submitted he waited 4 weeks before he received the results. He has asked them on numerous occasions for all the course material (that was paid in cash for the total course), but they keep saying he has to submit a form requesting his new study material, but after 15 days (when request form was submitted) he still did not receive anything, he submitted the form again. It has now been a month after he first submitted the form and still have not received any books. I just want to say that IT Academy has made this whole further education endeavour the most stressful and worst experience of his life.

Terrible course

Their "instructors" are terrible. They cannot teach without reading off instructions and even then they are unable to perform the tasks efficiently. If I had used their course alone to write the CCNA, I would have had no chance to pass the exam. Using free material on YouTube taught me more than this paid course

None of their courses are accredited

None of their courses are accredited. So I passed the Network Engineer course at IT academy, the certificates do not even have the accreditation number,not even the accredited partners,everything is just a crap!!I honestly regret registering at Optimi college. Please do not waste your money and time on this college. There is a very rude girl by the name of Amanda,very very rude!! Wait until you see the certificates!!🚮🚮🚮🚮

THIS COLLEGE IS A SCAMER (A FLYGHT)

PLS DONT DEPOSIT YOUR MONEY TO STUDY IN THIS COLLEGE! 🚩🚩It is a scam there is no learning going on here. I filled in the online form, made a 2.5k deposit payment, and filled + emailed their deposit form to study CompTia A+, CompTia N+ & CCNA on the 29 of July until now there a no call from them, no email ..... just nothing. Their debtors' email where the deposit form is supposed to be sent to, is not working .... they are just a branch of scammers and frustrators 😫😫
