I contacted *** and was told by whoever answered the phone to contact *******************! I have left MULTIPLE VOICEMAILS AND EMAILS TO HIS EMAIL ADDRESS AND NO RESPOND! I attempted to call TIA ****** number and **** number multiple times out the week since DECEMBER 2023. NO ANSWER what so ever! I call on my husband number and get an ANSWER IMMEDIATELY!

      I paid for a course and they told me that the exam fees were included in the price. After I purchased it, they told me that the exams were a separate charge. I cancelled within the first hour and their policy says that if I cancel on the first day, I will receive a full refund. They will not return my emails or phone calls. I would like the full refund of $699.

      Sorry for any misunderstanding, but no where on our web site or our documented communication with this student stated exam fee's are included in the course. Non of our CompTIA classes includes the exam vouchers. A full refund was issued.
