Is St. Augustine Scghool For Medical Assistant Legitimate?

OP here. Sorry it took so long i didn't realize people were still reading. Thank you so much for helping me decide to not waste my money on this program. My family and me had a long discussion and we decided to re enroll me in a community college in south Carolina I had gone to with all accredited programs and I will be taking Phlebotomy to make some money and then find a school for either MA or something like it. I start August 23rd. I'm just so glad i didn't waste anything on this diploma mill.

You really got to check these schools out first. Contact hospitals, clinics, and doctors' office to find out what type of training you really need.

GOHEM: You hit it right there on the nose when it comes to ripoffreprot.com. They are loaded with horror stories about how people have been ripped off by these so-called "trade schools." And that includes worthless diplomas and certificates and companies that won't hire these schools' graduates. They are stuck with thousands of dollars in student loan debt that'll take forever to pay off.

You're better off going to a community college first, and then transfer on to a four-year college. Employers recognize certificates and degrees from them instead of these scammy trade schools.

These people are a scam. They send out illegal junk faxes. Do not waste your time/money with losers like this "school"

St. Augustine is most definitely a scam. Not only are they not accredited, they are not listed with the Dept. of Education, as well as being located in another country! I, too, was interested in an unsolicited fax from them, but I did my "homework" to research them. In the end, always remember that old lesson: "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.".

Right now im enrolled in school to be a Medical Assistant, I graduate in Feb 2013...I love it. Im so glad i made the switch from Retail management...I would have to agree with the comments before me, Check with your community colleges for the program. Its cheaper and with some colleges they make you take extra courses like math and english...not where i go its all medical all the time and its really fun. If you have a Lincoln Tech in your area give them a call.Thats where i go and i couldnt be happier with my choice.
