INTEC College miscommunication, false promises, sloppy work

In the last week of January 2010 I sent off the last of my forms to Intec, applying for the Wedding Planner course. At first contact was good, but then it started dying. On Feb 3rd I was promised my confirmation of enrollment would be sent 'shortly'. Almost a month later, I'd heard nothing from my student consultant. I eventually got so ****** that I asked to be transferred to someone who could help me, as I couldn't afford to be calling all the time from Sweden about books etc. At the same time that I was transferred, I found out my books had been delayed for a month because 'of a problem with my postal code'. I had paid extra for air freight for my study materials, as surface mail would take 3 months... sure enough, my books were sent surface mail. Thankfully, Shakier Achmat, whom I'd been transferred to, said he'd courier the first 3 modules to me so that i could begin studying. No such luck. I received half of my course, books from random modules, and the very first book missing. So I emailed again, asking for the first book. Again, wrong book was sent... I got the last one instead.

Intec, PLEASE get your act together! It's now 3 months and counting, and unacceptable!

INTEC College no study material... after almost 60 days

I registered at Intec at the end of February, I was sent an email stating that I will receive my study material within 21 days. I paid my deposit as well. I called Intec after receiving no replies from my 'student advisor' Mabuso Khumalo. I was I nformed by Intec that my application was only sent in (by him I assume) on the 29th March! And I therefore have to wait for 21 days from this date! I then called to check on my books on 18th April and was told that they are out of stock and only have sent 2 books but dont have tracker number, I was told they will sms it to me but nothing yet. I then received 2 books in the post yesterday for Accounting 3! WHich is of no use right now as I need to start studying Accounts 1. The lady I spoke to (Salma) said that should I not finish my course within the 24 months, I can ask Intec for an extension which I will not pay for as they have delayed my studies by not giving me my material on time. Wht didnt they tell me at registration BEFORE they collected my deposit, that they dont have the material right now? Can I cancel at this stage? I need to know as I can sit back and keep calling Intec and hold on for 30 minutes at a time!

INTEC College worst service ever imaginable

I have been trying to get hold of the call center for 3 weeks now. I have been on hold for hours at a time. And yet my call has still not attended to. I managed to get hold of someone at the Head office in cape town, named Clayton. after the switchboard operator at this number placed me on hold for extremely long periods of time [protected] her name is Ally. She will not let u know the person is not able to take the call instead she will place you on hold again and again listening to that hideous music for ever. Let us not stretch how rude she is. Clayton returned my call promising to get in-touch again and after a week and numerous messages left with Ally no one returned my call.

I have tried to speak to the following people for some assistance considering I paid all my money and receive no service and no answer just hold music. Zanelle, Theo, Clayton and someone named Laqaan. Left messages NO ONE CALLS. Call center does not answer. Not even to speak about there head office. The lady at the switchboard puts the phone down in your ear and always puts you back on hold. This is a disgrace. If i knew this I would safe myself the aggravation. Do not study with them!

INTEC College no certificate after six weeks waiting

I was told exam results would be released on a certain date, and not to my suprise when i called intec on that date i was given the run around from 9 in the morning and only got my results at 3 in the afternoon when someone had to go and find my exam paper and read my results to me. I was told to wait at most 6 weeks until i received my certificate, well its been six weeks and i havent received anything. I am tired of wasting my calls and my time with intec, how much longer do I have to wait? seems like nobody checks on the progress of anything until a complaint is sent.

INTEC College stay far away from intec college

Intec College are a bunch of liars and a bunch of thie ves! They take your money. They don't send you your study material. They don't answer theirs phones. In order to get a refund, you need to provide your private and confidential bank statement to them?!?!?!?!?! The people on the call center (when you eventually get hold of someone) are COMPLETE [censored]s! This 'college' is a complete JOKE!

They aren't even bothered responding to these complaints.. Do yourself a favour - don't put yourself through this nonesense. Find another institute (a REPUTABLE one) to study with.. If you sign up with Intec, you're signing up for months and months worth of headaches. We have been waiting since Dec for study material. No one even bothers to let a person know what the status is, or what the hold up is.

Should the refund not be made by 18 March 2010, we will be handing this matter over to our attorneys to expedite the legal proceedings.

INTEC College take money and no diploma, service is horrible

I paid the full amount for a course in Bookkeeping with Pastel Diploma in May 2008. When I asked that they send me the rest of the books, because I had not received my study Material where the assignments were in, I was told that the account had to be paid in full first before they could send me my Material, so I paid the account in full and phoned them again, I requested that they send me all my stuff immediately as I only had until November 2009 to finish my course, up until today, I still have not received my study Material that I paid for, and I could not finish my course because they did not send me the material. How can a well known institute let students down like this, I cant believe I paid over R5000 for absolutely nothing, I demand my Money back, since I did not get my materials, or I demand an extra year to be able to finish my course. if something does not get done I will see lawyers!

I hate the way the sales consultants are so helpful and sign you up so quickly, then when you are a student the service goes down the drain!

I would've had my diploma by now if I just went to someone else!

INTEC College no study material

I enroled with Intec College on the 6 October 2010. I paid for the whole course in full. I still have not received any of my study material. We phoned them on a couple of times with no response. I have a month less, to complete my studies, due to the fact that I have not yet received anything from them yet.

INTEC College service is non existent and response feedback is nothing short of shocking

I requested an exam voucher for my final IT exam on 12 October and was promised it would be sent via sms to me within 48 hours. Two weeks later I have phoned daily and nobody answers just voicemail and a tape playing one never gets through to a student consultant.

Emails and contact on the internet prove useless I am really desperately trying to get the voucher to book my final exam to no avail. Service is non existent and response feedback is nothing short of shocking please help.

INTEC College poor service and zero response to queries

I attempted to register to write exams in April 2009 but could not due to a missing payment according to them - I paid the full R9600.00 up front for my course in September 2008. I again tried in July this year and made an additional payment of R1400.00 again up front. For some reason I get a statement asking for money every month and I am still not registered to write exams which start on 12 November 2009. When I phone the call centre I am told that my account is in fact showing a credit (positive) balance of R1400.00 and they are not aware of my exam application - which I have faxed and e-mailed through on numerous occassions together with the proof of payment. I have phoned 7 times now, faxed 6 times, sent two registered letters by post - which were received by Intec according to the tracking numbers and have e-mailed at least 20 times. Still no response except to please resend my exam application and proof of payment AGAIN! If someone can help me please do. If I am not able to write this year I will have to employ a lawyer to get my R11000.00 back. The full R11000.00 will probably all go to the lawyer but Intec sure as ... is not keeping it!

I have recently decided to register with Intec to do Matric maths. I have been told because I did the old curriculum this would be my last year to write it.
The student consultant was very helpful before I paid and filled in the forms. Once I had done that she became very unhelpful. Telling me not to stress when I asked for my student number.
I have now got my student number finally. I went onto the virtual site for Intec and saw that I am now registered for English and not Maths. So now they have to get the enrolment forms back and change it. When from the beginning I said Maths on my enrolment form and the student consultant asked if I was doing SG or HG. That is going to take 72 hours.

How can they get it so wrong when everything is in black and white?

Ridiculous

Hi

I agree with the above comments I registered for my son on the 30-07-10 and paid by credit tranfer the same day and all I received was the Study Guide no learning material, I have sent numerouse e-mails even asking for a refund which has not been forthcoming. I am at my wits end wondering what to do, I definitely will never consider enrolling with Intec it seem the only way forward is to sue them in the small claims court.

I enrolled with Intec college February 2009 for a diploma in Journalism, did not receive study material session 2, the leaner guide stated that I need to receive session 2 to start with my assignments .i was not able to write assignments called the school several times, they will investigate the matter and call me back . 5 months past they still investigating 488.90 was deducted from my account on a monthly basis . I decided to cancel the debit order, tried calling again to make them aware that I have cancelled the debit order, the call center is always busy you have to wait for an hour to get through when you have eventually made it through you being transferred to one consultant to another . I wanted a quick response so I went to complain to hallo peter .com I was promised to be contacted back, still no response . Then I decided to cancel the contract called the school spoke to Lynnette boysen explained everything she gave me a fax number to fax through the cancellation letter I confirm if she received it she said yes she will escalate to cancellation department. I called several time to confirm if the cancellation was approved only to find out that the cancelation department don’t take calls the cant see anything on their system . On the 11 of February I received a call from Carol to inform me that my account has been handed to legal because I’m owing the school 4000 . That was the shock of my life! the school owes me not the other way around .the school doesn’t even respond to consumer Affairs .I wasted almost 2 years trying to sort the problem but all I wanted was to get my diploma . just want to tell the whole world that this institution is a money making scheme .

INTEC College - stay away from intec college

I already complained about Intec not keeping to their promises and giving 10% discount where it is due. Even Karen does not answer my e-mails or calls. She does not even call back on messages that I have left her.
