United Education Institute [UEI] medical assistant

Worst school ever. We got assured that we would get a job after we finish school the most it would take six months. I have three years now and no job. I pay $80 a month of Federal loan and for what I don't even have a medical job. I had 3.8 GPA and honor and prefect attended. Got no help looking for a job until this day.

United Education Institute [UEI] convinced me to take out huge loans with promises upon graduation I will be placed in a well-paying jobs in my chosen field. but failed to.

the school took advantage of me by convincing me to take out large student loans with the promise that, upon graduation, i would receive job placement assistance that would find me well-paying jobs in my chosen filed. But failed to. Now my loan went to collections I have no job and bad credit.

United Education Institute [UEI] pointless debt

I took classes at UEI awhile back and I didn't learn anything. I only had one teacher that seemed to care that he was supposed to teach us. I asked one teacher to show me an example for the work that we were doing because I am a hands on type of learner and all she said (with an attitude) was look in the book. If students are basically paying you to teach them then teach. So I wasted my time and not to mention gas money that I had to scrounge together since half of that time I was living in my car to only accumulate debt. I wanted a chance to learn and get help finding a job but I didn't get either. Once I was done with the school I got a certificate late and no help finding a job. I got two phone calls with them asking if I needed help finding a job and each time I never got any help. Not to mention that there was a 6 month gap between each call. I don't think that it is right for them to do that. I am still struggling to find a job. I want my debt cleared. This is horrible. Knowing I will be in debt and my credit will be affected because I was only trying to better my life. Why is this school still in business. Knowing students in medical and dental programs and are probably working after going there is scary. Maybe those programs are better than the one I took but who knows.

Dont get me started on Homeless abuse, I have several friends that have experienced the unfortunate wave of being homeless, they are probably more intellegent, respectful and down right good people that your average citizen that has taken life for granted. I had to witness (and we will call him fred) Fred just waling down the alley, when a black and white rolled up behind him and literally hit him and took off. several got it on tape when no more than an hour later the cops were swarming the neighborhood looking for that tape threatening anyone with knowledge to hand it over or face arrest and a beating.

another one, all be it we will call him clemens, Clemens was walking to a buddies place i guess to get some weed to smoke and the person he was getting it from conned him into something else and it turned out to be an overdose of Oxycontin, he weebled and wobbled into freeway speed traffic and was instantly killed, if that is not bad enough, the Coronor would not even to an autopsy lets put it this way all his friends said his 2 bottles of booze were unopened and he was not intoxicated and he doesnt do pills, someone slipped him a hot shot intentionally. In my eyes no one is homeless transition maybe but not homeless by the way do you spell that with one word or two? lastly I was in that same position once so I can speak from experience. it sucks but I lived thru it.
Peace out

I agree with prejudice,
I totally agree with your complaint up to "We Need Justice" there is "Legal Justice" then there are Just Us the small Kumbiah circle that make up the wheels of justice that dont give a damn and will always win. Case and point in court, an individual took me to court once and evidently knew the judge, with that said I came to court with my 2 witnesses and as procedure they were asked to wait in the hall till called once all other cases had been adjudicated I was the last one, the judge ordered the courtroom closed and no witnesses be called by the defense. I did not get to speak other than be sworn in. I lost the case hands down and was ordered not to contest it with a counter claim. That my friends is Just Us.
prior to that I was taken to court in a criminal proceeding, I had all the evidence to make my case, physical and all inc videos and what not. My attorney told me his hands were tied and not to question that and if a deal was offered he was taking it for me do or die, I said why I want to fight this with a jury pooll? he said go ahead and the prosecutor will fry you as with this particular very high profile case he will perjur himself and his witnesses to win at all costs and you will do 10 hard. I am going what the F*** my attorney said that is the high stakes game of Just Us.
end of story.

I use to work at UEI College and they prey on the homeless, felons and hardworking families and give them the lies and scam of lifetime job assistance. I've seen forged documents, falsified JOB placements, false grad changes and attendance's rosters forged and fraudulent activity. UEI College is more interested in getting Heald College students to pad their pockets even more, instead their soliciting UEI Graduates that they haven't helped with job placement with emails stating they're looking to help Heald College students to help them find a home and if you know of anyone please have them contact UEI College, Why don't they HELP UEI GRADUTES FIRST BEFORE HELPING ANOTHER COLLEGE THAT FAILED THE SAME WAY UEI COLLEGE WILL. NOTHING BUT BS. THEY DON'T CARE! THEY JUST WANT THE MONEY MORE STUDENT IN DEBT WITH A HUGE SCHOOL LOAN AND NO HELP! I know I tried to help everyone but since the graduate was enrolled to far back that they weren't important and helping them wouldn't matter towards ACCSC/ACCET Accreditation. I spoke with a couple of ex admission reps and they informed me they would take the placement test for the homeless and potential students that failed the placement test to meet ACCSC/ACCET Accreditation numbers! UEI COLLEGE ALL CAMPUS ARE LIARS AND SCAM EVERYONE THEY ENROLL. COMPANY POLICY that school has policies LOL hmmmm everything I witnessed was so unethical out of compliance the curriculum is outdated for all programs and some instructors don't even care what happens there as long as they have a job, they're harassed, threaten and forced to change student grads and attendance to once again meet Accreditation regulations to keep ALL UEI SCHOOL'S OPEN AND RUNNING UNDER FALSE PRETENSES, FORGED DOCUMENTS, LIES, SCAM, FALSE HOPE AND DREAMS! HORRIBLE COLLEGE! DON'T DO IT, FIGHT BACK AND BE HEARD TODAY! FILE YOUR COMPLAINTS LOOK UP ACCSC/ACCET Accreditation complaints and SPEAK UP TODAY! You have the school loan not them and they won't help you pay it but they will stalk you harass you and call every family member to get a payment but not update you on anything you paid for! please leave a comment so we can work together to BE HEARD AND MAKE A CHANGE FOR THE FUTURE AND STOP ALL UEI CAMPUS TODAY!

United Education Institute [UEI] selling false hopes and dreams

Going into my uei experience I was hopeful to land a great paying full time career, to support my unborn child, instead I am stuck with 10, 000 of debt and no job in the medical field. The instructors at the schools aren't the best and don't really know what they are talking about. This school is all about the money you owe them instead of actually teaching. While attending this schoool I felt the pressure of them wanting money every other freaking day. The staff and instructors send out false hopes saying we will land you a job, nope never happend or atleast some kind of leads nothing! Even after I Graduated I would return to career services and no one seemed able to help me out with getting leads to hiring companies. This has to be the worst waste of time in my life wish I never went here wasted my time, gas, and energy.

They need to spend time behind bars... Too take peoples money... Introduce them to people like detectives and dispatchers as if you can be in there jobs when graduating is such a lie, false hope is true and exactly what they do, one of the first things they do is explain how they are an accredited school ... NOT true no one in the USA excepts them as such. This school is not even considered as a college. I had someone with a warrant out for there arrest in my CJ class, and even pointed out a drug deal that happened in front of my class both cj instructors did nothing. Graduated in 2012, still no work ... I wasted a year of time away from my very young children, Gas money, child care cost, studying for test, that mean nothing . I have to retake every class that I took there, and some... I do not think me and my babies will ever come out of this debt.

United Education Institute [UEI] uei is a rip off to students

Well first i would like to start off by saying i started uei on may 15, 2012 the reason for me coming to this school and continuing is because the staff at uei was actually making alot of since saying things that i wanted to hear to attend this school so by me wanting to be a medical assistant i decided to attend because i thought it was actually a good school thats until u have been there for some months and u actually really see what uei is about and how they lie and rip u off lets start off with the teachers at uei well this is how they do they get rid of all the good teachers who actually care about students and there career and replace them with teachers that have criminal records and teachers that sit up here and want to socialize with students with things not dealing with the class like pulling out there cell phones and showing videos on facebook, you tube, gossiping, last time i checked this was college and we are here to get taught about the medical field. when the teacher gets mad or upset she yes meaning a woman instructor wants to give us pop quizes, extra homework, add like 10-20 questions on the test which i feel isn't right just because your mad don't take it out on the students thats just wrong especially the ones who really want to be here and get their education. oh! you thought that was it no it wasn't let's talk about how the teacher gives outstanding awards to all students except five students because she is mad and doesn't like us wow really let's all be adults here. she goes around saying i didn't take my medicine today so its not going to be a good day...but they do harrass us about our titution...

United Education Institute [UEI] medical asisstane program

I am a student here at uei the campus in riverside and I can truly say uei is full of lies and the instructructors are terrible. I have been thru two instructors the first one mr. Thomas was great he had it set up where we could understand everything and did great demostrations of what we need to learn. The second teacher mrs. Lawson was full of lies and acted as if she actually cared when she didnt really care she sat around talking about students how they dressed how they appearance was and acted very ghetto always talking about her hood and repping blood gang. Then when it came done to grades she always blame career service up stairs talking about it them playing with my grades and attendance. I do not recommend this school to no one all they care about is money money money money and more money and not your education!

United Education Institute [UEI] director of education

The new Director of Education at the school has the worst manners. She has run the school into the ground! She is rude to her students and doesn't care about her staff. The students don't even know who she is, unless they have had a bad experience with her. She never comes out of her office and she dresses inappropriately. She has no business in her position. She has let go of all the employees that are not her favorites and kept her friends whom are not even qualified for the positions they are in.. It is a joke. There are Instructors that have dedicated their lives to this school and their students and have given up a lot to be there for the students. The Instructors are the ones who teach their students there careers and yet, they are treated very badly. UEI used to be a great place to work, but now its a very stressful environment for everyone there.Someone should really look at what has happened and since she took over the DOE position and see how many wonderful caring people are no longer there because of this change in leadership. She is in no way or any shape or form of a leader! It is so sad that all the students and employees are just a number to her. She hired a friend of hers about 6 months ago for full time and he never even had a class. She made up a position for him and there have been so many complaints about him from staff and female students, for being inappropriate yet he still has a job there! He has no degrees to teach and yet she kept him on as a substitute teacher. He has been telling students that he is an under cover cop and if they need help with their husbands or boyfriends he will take care of them. He is also telling students that he is a trained Psychologist, which he is not. That school is doing so many shady things and something has got to be done about it. I am writing this complaint on behalf of the entire staff, Its not the Instructors that needed to be changed its the Director! The Instructors actually care about the students and their careers.

United Education Institute [UEI] them not giving a #!!!

My experience at uei was great at first great instructor MS.GARDNER she taught us like no other. we were all A students. I looked forward to see my classmates learn and enjoy my time at school. I learned so much. the first couple of months that is. They gave these gas cards for carpooling. Well all that has changed. They got reported by the board of education for not having a resource center and they FAKED ONE for about a month. As soon as they stopped checking on us the ### began. The so called gas cards stopped being given no notice was given to inform us of this they expected us to give people rides for free. LIKE I ### MONEY OUT! then every time i wanted to talk to NANCY in charge of this she was NEVER found always leaving early. I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY FOUR TIME BEFORE I GOT TO FINALLY TALK TO THAT ###! She is by far the rudest person Ive had to deal with. I'm paying for the program shouldn't the Witch at least have the common decency to be civil! They pulled our instructor from teaching us and doctor GARCIA the director for the dental assistant program did not even have the decency to give us a notice about us getting a new instructor. I show up one day then boom a new instructor. How did i feel? I was Furious first of all i hate changes! Second of all we were told the instructor we had would be our instructor till the end of the program! This school is a waste of money if you really want the best for what you pay for i say you go you EVEREST! OH BOY DO I WISH I HAD SCHEDULED THAT APPOINTMENT FOR THEM THE DAY BEFORE UEI! My boyfriend goes to EVEREST in Gardena and all he has to say is nothing but great things about their advanced technology and their nice and caring staff! Do not waste your time go ELSE WERE! I am unfortunately stuck their for two more months. If it wasn't for MS.GARDNER MY OLD INSTRUCTOR ENCOURAGING ME TO FINISH AND TEACHING ME ON HER SPARE TIME i would have dropped and enrolled at EVEREST! F THIS SCHOOL! DON'T FALL FOR THE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT AND THEIR ELEVATOR WORKS THEY JUST DON'T LET THE STUDENTS USE IT AND MAKE US WALK SO MANY FLIGHTS OF STAIRS EVEN THE PREGNANT ONES! My class mate was 9months about to give birth they didn't care about her situation staff smokes in front of students instructors have sex with students and does the school take action NO! I am furious about wasting my time and money! Please take my advice into consideration if you do go ask a million questions and watch them quiver and say the first "BS" lie that pops into their head!

United Education Institute [UEI] all

Well! when i enrolled into uei back in november 2011 a lot was said about how their success rate was good bla bla bla how my life would change after 8 months, granted every one's experience is different i know that.And the process was fast i mean the next day i was attending orientation and after was starting my first day of class and my financial aid had not been completed, so as classes were in session i was frequently pulled out of class to sign and finish my financial aid papers in which most of it was covered however the tuition options was big deal my payment became much higher than expected and yes the first payment was due the following month.soon after all that was done i found out my admin rep was no longer there, my class instructor was only with us for maybe a month then another instructor came in and have to say he was really good and he did not tolerate any b.s. like 3 months later he had informed the class he no longer be instructing our class, SO! again we get another instructor which later found out he had been fired from uei in the past and for unknown reasons.and after he came aboard all hell broke loose i mean the class was always disrupted, disrespectful, and the street talk in the class was well you can fill the blanks in...this instructor's passion was not teaching and he made it clear to all and it showed in a big way.so i was nearing the end i was always communicating with my externship rep and discussed what area i wanted to go into which i assume is your choice..oh btw i took the cst computer systems technician course.he had set up a few sites for me and my first one went to a interview and thought it went well, so i return to the school to let my rep know how the interview went well guess what?i am told sorry he no longer works here, and could you come back in a few hours because the staff is in a meeting.I then return and another person will take over, well this person was a extern rep for a different course program not IT so i had to start over with a new rep in which that rep did not really know what i was wanting in to regards what area..anyway i am getting a little pissed and might not making to much sense here but i hope you think hard and do your research before deciding UEI COLLEGE as of right now i lay idled because my first 2 extern sites would be failing me and i know some critics would think otherwise...but again good luck on your choosing a school do your research...

I agree! UEI is nothing but a scam to take your money, and teach nothing. It's like UEI is run by the Mafia and they are extorting money from the Government. I can not believe they are still open. They need to be shut down quick before they scam others. The school is a JOKE!

UEI in chula vista only can be explained as a money hungry, or grant stealing from government for every student they signed, The problem is they, don't care if you finish, as long as you apply for grants of approx $ 2000~4000 for. Each student, , so they get their money and the loan starts to accrue interest daily. I had 3 different instructors, most just read from teachers editions without any description of why or how to code, just read the answers while everyone wrote rhem down . Most of the software I, e, Medisoft for healthcare providers was never taught . The syllabus was a joke and my last teacher let a student take a test at his house, constantly talked about his lovers since he was gay, and pay more attention to the male students or discussing the lunch ideas with his few girlfriends, I feel he discrninated against those who weren't gay or didn't have a lot of money and really wanted to learn . I have several classmates that would be happy to testify to this fact. I did keep my grades recorded and they were always several data entry errors

United Education Institute [UEI] rip off

I started this school in august 2010.I wanted to go to a school where I can get a job right away with out doing all my general classes. I should of done more research about this school. First of the staff is not even professional. They were really demanding I had told them I had to discuss the price with my father and they kept insisting i sign up that day the price would go up if I waited. They assured me I would get a job in no time and I wouldn't have any trouble paying off the 15, 000 loan. I thought to my self well if I'm going to get a job and start my career I should do it. It's been a year since I graduated. I have yet to find a job. I go in and call UEI constantly they never help. This is the worst school you can ever attend. They only want your money. After you graduate they forget all about you and start worrying about the money. They told me they wouldn't start to charge me six months AFTER i get a JOB, well months into the program they were already charging me. This school is such a scam they should shut it down, all they do is victimize people. I really don't know why after all these years its still up. All were stuck with is 15, 000 loan and no job. None of my classmates or other students have found a job. Seriously, the WORST school ever. Save your money and just attend a city collage its longer but its worth it.

No one can truly guarantee you a job straight out of school. Loan payments start 6 months post-graduation, whether you have a job or not. Only other option you have is to defer them.

United Education Institute [UEI] rip off

THIS SCHOOL IS A ###IN SCAMMMM!

I attended UEI back in 2011, finished in jan. 2012 (Medical Assisting). I swear I wasted 9 months of my life at that ###in place, not only did i not learn anything or get any jobs out of it. But the school itself is a joke, you learn more about the teachers personal lives then you do about the education that your paying them 16 grand for. Not to say they had the nerve to tell me that i owe them a extra $100.00 all because they said the month that i enrolled they were broke (how is that i flaut?!). And the fact that they charged me $75.00 registration is supposed to $50.00! When I started at UEI I paid off everything with cash up front. I know for a fact i dont owe anything to that ###in ### bag place.

I would advise everyone to stay away from trade schools, ESPICALLY UEI !

United Education Institute [UEI] unproffessional and costly

THIS PLACE IS THE WORST. I AM AN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER AND MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT THAT IF HE GOT HIS PHARMACY TECH LICENSE THROUGH HERE HE WOULD FIND A DECENT JOB. THEY LIED TO US FROM THE BEGINNING BY STATING THEY WOULD ASSIST US FROM BEGINNING TO END, THEY NEVER TILL THIS DAY (YEAR AFTER HE GRADUATED AND HAS YET TO RECEIVE HIS LICENSE) KNOW HIS NAME DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE CALLS AND EMAILS OFTEN! IF I PROVIDED THAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE MILITARY GOD KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO MY CAREER. NOT ONLY DID THEY LIE, BUT THE SAME PEOPLE WERE NEVER THERE, SO OF COURSE NO ONE IS EVER UP TO DATE ON YOUR PARTICULAR ISSUE AND YOU GET PASSED AROUND LIKE SOME OBJECT FROM ONE IGNORANT PERSON TO THE NEXT. THE ONLY THING WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH WAS BILLING OF COURSE, :) UEI NEVER MISSES A PAYMENT.

I went to UEI located in Huntington Park California in 1996 and at that time there policy was guaranteed to help you find a job. The programs were outdated and i didn't know any better i just wanted to get a career and a job to get off welfare. The State of California came out to check out the school and the computers and printers did not work and the medical assistance classes got all the privileges. Mr. Mufasa was the person in charge of the school at the time and the medical students got all the privileges. I am a Caucasian female and i speak only the English language. UEI only sent me to one place for a job and they ask if i was bilingual and they sent at least 20 other students there who could speak Spanish which i thought was really unfair. I called UEI everyday and was always told they don't have any job leads. I did not have any job skills, I found a job at a company named Bell Foundry and was let go after a month because the skills i learned at UEI were not compatible with being a receptionist. I was so embarrassed. Now i owe a lot of money to Fed Loan Services and it keeps piling up with interest. I don't think i should have to pay back a loan for a school that the outdated skills i learned never helped me get a job. I wish somebody could help me i am tired and worn out from all the notices for repayment.

Honestly, I hate to say this but no degree is a guaranteed job placement. It takes time, motivation, and persistence. It took me about 2 years to find a job after I graduated from a 4 year university and I was almost 40K in Debt. I'm sure she will find a job but it takes two to tango :) Hope all is going well with the job hunt. Always do your research before you buy no matter what it is.

United Education Institute [UEI] waste of money

In April of 2010, I was at a point where I needed to do something and fast. So I had received information about a trade school that got you certified in 7 months for a career of your choice. I figured this would be a great way to get the ball rolling on a career. I was promised job assistance after I graduated if I wasn't hired for my externship. Needless to say seven months later I went to an extern site that for starters wasn't hiring in the first place and secondly, wanted someone with 10+ years experience. So I kept on the job search, emailing, dropping off, and faxing countless resumes. All the while calling "Career Services" and leaving message after message and not being called back for months. And then when I did finally receive a call it was from some lady asking if I had gone to the temp agency they were now sending dental students too. I was not happy. And the cherry on top of this ### heap experience, not only do I have a certification that serves as nothing but toilet paper but I am now in debt a little under ten grand. I am pissed. This place promises you all of these great life changing things and comes through on one, they get you in their facility to owe them money. Please take my advice, go to real college, at least your debt will be well earned. I graduated in January, it is now July. Still no dental job, and the bills for the student loans are coming in. Thank you UEI, for absolutely nothing. Oh wait, thanks for the debt.

United Education Institute [UEI] scam &school&

I attended UEI TO GET A STABLE "career". Although I was working already, I decided to complete the Pharmacy Tech program during the eveing sessions.. the teacher was more of a babysitter..she expected other students to teach the newest students who had arrived, clueless to the beginnings of this field. In the lab, there were very scarce supplies. Career services did very little to help, since my career counselor kept changing on me and not keeping in contact. I go to get a loan deferment because I cannot pay my loans since I don't have the money(no new career). It has been 8 months and I only have been on one interview which was for a medical billing job! And now I received notice from Salli Mae saying that my loan was approved for deferrment, but I still should pay the interest on the loan, which happens to be even more than the original first payment amount! NOBODY TOLD ME THIS!.THIS SCHOOL IS A SCAM TO GET GOVT LOANS TO STUDENTS TRYING TO BETTER THEIR LIVES, SO THAT THEY MAY PROFIT..THE STAFF CHANGES LIKE UNDERWEAR SO GOOD LUCK FINDING SOMEONE WHO REMEMBERS YOU OR EVEN WILLING TO HELP. YOU WILL BE SUED AND YOU WILL NO LONGER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE..
