      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On 03/07/2022, I paid $2430 of tuition for a Clinical Medical Assistant Certification program. According to the website, documents I was provided, and reception workers, the tuition guaranteed me flexibly scheduled classes and training according to a curriculum designed to give me enough experience and class hours to earn a certificate and pass the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) certifying exam. They also told me that the school (MIHT) served as an NHA testing site.I attended the school 3 times in March. I met the instructor and was added to the class app used for class schedule communications.On 04/02/2022 9:45 AM, the instructor posted an announcement on the forum stating No classes today. At 11:56 AM, No classes shall be conducted until you are told to do so! Since then, I and the other students have been unable to contact the school or the owners. The last announcement from the instructor was to inform us that he got a new job at a new school: Hey, about myself I started teaching at another School. The contract I signed with the school states, If the school closes, or cancels or changes a program of study or location in such a way that the student who has started is unable to complete training, arrangements will be made in a timely manner to accommodate the needs of each student enrolled in the program who is affected by the cancellation or change. If the school is unable to make alternative arrangements that are satisfactory to the student, the school will refund all money paid by the student for the program. There has been no effort on the schools part to contact the students. I have tried to call the school at the number listed on its website and the number on the documents I was given by the school. Now, both voicemails say that they are full. I also tried to email the school on April 15th, and have received no response. I want a refund for services not rendered and for the website to state that the school is closed.

      Better Business Bureau Subject: Complaint Against MIHT School for Closure and Non-Delivery of Certification Dear Better Business Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against MIHT School regarding their sudden closure and failure to provide me with the certification I was promised. Additionally, I am seeking a refund due to the school's lack of accreditation, which was never disclosed to me during enrollment. I enrolled in MIHT School on 2015 with the expectation of receiving quality education and a recognized certification upon completion of the program. However, to my dismay, the school closed down abruptly, leaving me without the necessary credentials to pursue my chosen career path. Despite numerous attempts to contact MIHT School, both through phone calls and emails, I have received no response or assistance in resolving this matter. This lack of communication and accountability is highly concerning and has only added to my frustration and disappointment. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that MIHT School was not accredited by any recognized accrediting body. This information was intentionally withheld by the school during the enrollment process, which is a clear violation of ethical business practices. As a result, the certification I was promised holds no value in the industry, making the time, effort, and money I invested into this program completely wasted. Therefore, I kindly request that the Better Business Bureau intervene in this matter and take appropriate action against MIHT School. Specifically, I am seeking a full refund of the tuition fees I paid, as well as any additional costs incurred during my enrollment. Additionally, I urge the BBB to investigate MIHT School's deceptive practices and lack of accreditation to prevent further harm to future students. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution. Sincerely, Farihah P******
