If you enjoy being harrassed all day every day by complete strangers then Everest College is the place for you. Yesterday evening I filled out an online form to receive information about Everest College. The harrassment began promptly at 8:10am EST this morning when I woke up to my ringing phone. I rolled out of bed to look at the call display and saw a number I didn’t recognize 1-720-684-4077. Since I had no clue who that was I ignored it and went back to sleep. My phone starts to ring again 10 minutes later with the same number and I ignore it again and figure since I can’t enjoy my sleep I’ll go take a shower.

I spend about 30 minutes in the shower and when I come out and look at my phone… 5 more calls during the 30 minutes I was in the shower. Who the hell is this I keep asking myself and what the hell do they want with me at this time in the morning. I stroll over to my computer and pop 720-684-4077 into Google to see what I can find and oh! what a magical tool Google is. The only results I see are listings for websites such as 800notes.com, whocallsme.com, phoneowner.info, etc. Basically a bunch of sites set up to track unknown phone numbers where people like me who get harrassed can search for answers.

I start looking through the various reports on whocallsme.com and on that one site alone there were 20 complaints of people who were being harrassed. It is at this point that I realized the calls were coming from Everest College. A large portion of the people complaining had no clue who the caller was. It was likely that someone filled out an online form at Everest and made up a phone number which happened to belong to some poor soul but it was the repeated remarks of people stating they had just requested info from Everest before harrassment began. Who in their right mind would want to go to this school after a first impression like this?

I admit I was never interested in going to Everest to begin with and had only filled the form out as part of the requirements for another program I was applying for but now I was curious as to what they actually offered. More so I just couldn’t beleive they were actually a school? The further I read on I see that Everest College is all across North America and in Canada, it has taken over the CDI Colleges. Please see the CDI College website as well as this link.

So I’ve found the official websites for this joke of a school and my next step is to see what people think about it? Do they value the education learned from Everest? Successful job placement afterwards? Basically all the things you would expect out of a college such as teachers showing up to classes and so on. Just as I expected were nothing but complaints. I mean how good can a school be if they have to harrass potential students within minutes to hours of requesting information. What better way to guarantee no one joins. And for the unlucky ones who were not privy to this information before-hand I can only say sorry you got screwed.

So using the trusty Google search engine again I drop Everest College Scam into the box and here is a sample of what people had to say about Everest College / CDI College:

Testimonial #1

as a former cdi student. I would like to advise anyone thinking of going there to not even consider it. The training is poor and cheap. They are just in it to get your money and be gone.

another friend of mine was kicked out of there recently due to attendance reasons they claimed. this is after the teacher showed up 3 hours late and left students waiting. then the next teacher after was 50 minutes late. what a joke they are. they are unorganized, dont help their students with their outreach programs, not enough supplies for the students either.

I called CDI that day to inquire about my friends dismissal only to be hung up on by their staff. what they dont know is that i am a former cdi student that also went through the same BS. complete scam and poor quality ignorant staff stay away from the school.

Where do I sign up?

Testimonial #2

Bryman/Everest College…Worst experience, non certified instuctors, very expensive excuse for an education. Dirty campus, weeks with out teachers, no hospital sites…hospitals refusing to work with Bryman/Everest students.

Promise of a better life, making over $25.00 an hour, job placement assistance…All untrue…almost $30,000 in debt later, they are still making excuses.

In 1 year we had 8 different teachers, some were MA instructors, some not certified, our last teacher was talked to 2 times about sexual harassment complaints…nothing was done…another female student in my class and I wrote a letter about being touched in a sexual manor and propositioned for sex, the Program Chair and the Director of Education did NOTHING about it…not even a phone call.

Tom Vacar KTVU Channel 2 did a report recently…the school denies any wrong doing, but demands that they not air the story…

Wait… not convinced yet? After reading this post here which is an apparent CDI/Everest Student defending his honor. CDI/Everest being trashed on the forums for overspending on their TV advertisements and just plain sucking.

People always think they know… when you assume you usually make an ass of yourself.. Perfect example: YES the people in the Everest college commercials are real students!!! How do I know?? Because I am one of those people. And I know a few of the others… People need to stop being so negative! If you don’t like the commercial then change the damn channel… I meet people on a daily basis that tell me how my commercials inspired them to make a change for the better… If your not one of those people then sit back and hope it can help someone else… Plus if your seeing the commercials that much something is wrong!!! What kind of life do you have??? They only come on during the day from about 8am to 6pm… So what’s going on with your life.. Why do you have so much time on your hands? How come your not at work or school and if you work at night then your ass should be sleep… Maybe you need to listen to the students who got off their butts and made a life for themselves and get you one!! Then the commercials won’t bother you so much cause you won’t have time to watch TV all day!! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!!!

There was a very amusing answer to the above post… a one liner if you may, “Apparently they don’t teach you the difference between your and you’re at Everest College.”

Do yourself and others a favour and stay the hell away from Everest College. If you have received an education from them and a job because of it then congratulations to you as you may be one of the very few.
