WARNING: Profits over People Scam
Potentially Illegal and certainly unethical Educational/Business Practices : My Instructor gave zero in class instruction. Sat on her i-phone all the time. She coached and allowed students to change test answers to they could get higher scores and achieve honor roll which boosts chance at more desired externship sits and eventual employment. Instructors and Career Service Depts. work together to present clients (hospitals, dr. offices, etc.) with students with falsified credentials (grades/abilites) who then get hired. Extra credit was offered to those put a good review up on Yelp, Google or Facebook to improve ratings/scores. Many did temporarily then removed. Some still up. I made complaints against my instructor and others at the schools and she was terminated, as well as the Director of Education resigned (or was fired depending on who you speak to). This place is a scam and the "education" you receive is not worth the money spent and does nothing to help you achieve employment once the courses are complete. Jobs presented started at $12 an hour after you complete their course. Less than what I can make on my experience already obtained. False Advertising. No lap-tops or i-pads given. Make you sign a waiver and give you a check for $300. I have documentation to verify all claims made in this review, plus more.
Look at all the reviews they are having staff and students put up after my review/disclosure. Still doesn't change the facts of what they did or make them creditable or make it a good school.
The "Director of Revenue" former Admissions supervisor used to work at the defunct criminally charged and closed down Corinthian College that was taken down by the Attorney General - K. Harris back in 2013. Well now people like that are working at places like this one doing another variation of what they know how to do. Work the system for easily given educational grants and loans and disregard the individual(s) who are working to make better for themselves and others.
As of 2016 this place rakes in 5.5+ million a year and 98% of it government grants and LOANS that are expected to be paid back, yet their programs are whatever is below worthless. 81.9% of their collection is paid in "salaries" according to data reports online. Way over the national average of 30%. So Hello: RED FLAG!! So they have money to pay people and to make things happen, or NOT happen. Also the Owner is on the Board of CAPP - an entity that works with and lobbies for and to protect these types of for profit "educational" facilities. Probably why the CA Bureau of Post Secondary Education, BBB, CA Board of Education, and other governing entities are turning a blind eye to all of this and why they are so confident and cavalier in their wrong-doings and nefarious behaviors. They bring in the money, despite it being in a reckless and destructive to those who are a victim of these places/people. Appalling at minimum.
Fast Forward to 2024: Dept of Ed agreed with all of my allegations against Mayfield College and their misconduct. My loans will be forgiven. More tax payer money going to waste on unethical owner. Owns multiple million dollar properties paid for by scamming people and the US government taking Pell Grant money and student loan money while providing a substandard education and lack of proof of reasonable financial gain as a result of taking her courses. It's a scam "school".
This country needs less fraudsters like this place and they should not be collecting millions of dollars of tax payer money in way of educational grants and loans when it is agreed that they are a school who operates in misconduct.
