Centura College Reviews

  • Apr 3, 2015

When I attended Centura College but back in 2007-2008 in was call Tidewater Tech. I applied for student loans that Im still paying off. About half way through, I ask one of the professor would this be a real degree and they said yes. I have been paying on this loan for seven years. When I went to another college to try and pursue a nursing certificate I was told my degree was useless. I basically have to take all my classes over just to get a two year degree form this other college. I was also told Tidewater Tech was not an accredited college. The classes were not their regular 4 credit hours they were 2 or 3 and other colleges will not take any of those classes. After I was finish at that school the following year they changed the name and offered 4 credit hour classes. This school has really caused me hardship over the years.

I too was a victim to this schools scam i signed up for the massage therapy program and they told me my all books and table were all included in my tuition along with my 1st pair of scrubs. well they lied about all of it except for the 1st pair of scrubs.

when i was signing up they told me i had to take out a loan for $7,000 just a a precausion incase all my books dont get covered in my tuition, and my tuition was $28,000 mind you so how could my books and table not get covered with that much money? about half way thru schooling every time it was time to order books for the next mod i would look at my reciept and it shows how much of my loan money is left and not a single bit of my tuition was going up or down when i ordered my books or more scrubs, and i questioned finacial aid several times about it and they would brick wall me every time i asked and feed me the same bs that it was suppose to come from the loan they forced me to take out. in the beginning i didnt think about it i was just too excited to start school doing the thing i loved and had a hobby for.

the teachings were pretty good i learned alot but they dont teach you squat whats on the exam, the certification exam is so different than the tests your given in school half the questions i had never even herd of and are worded so differently that it makes you question when you learned and i toke the NCBTMB 4 times and failed ALL 4 TIMES and they sent me back for knowledge recap but that didnt even help and i never even got to take it again they lied about that too. Pearson Vue the test place gives you a letter stating to go back and get 100hrs of recap and you would be allowed to take it again but that was a lie too at least not with out pay again i had to pay then 3 times just to fail it. so iv been out of school for 4 years now i went there in 2010-2011 and i never filed a lawsuit against them would it be too late to even do that being that i had to go back to school all together reenroll at a different school just to regain all the knowledge i lost that i could get just by reading/studing out my book bc it was too much money to keep taking the exam what should i do?
