Warning - If you join get auto renew turned off immediately
Warning if you sign up for Career Academy before you do anything else do yourself a favor and call them or email them and ask them to please or better yet demand that they TURN OFF AUTOMATIC RENEWAL of your membership If you do not at the end of the first term of service you will be billed again automatically whether you want to renew or not - a potentially nasty surprise Unlike a lot of places Career Academy defaults auto renew to ON and it is easily missed because they bury that little jewel deep in their service agreement For naive guys like me who sometimes mistakenly take open honesty for granted I know silly right its surprisingly easy to overlook When I belatedly found that I had unknowingly been billed for a renewal that I had not overtly requested and cannot use I contacted them and they simply denied a refund and cited their fine print like they will probably do again here when they see this review See below Yes to be truthful they are correct it was my error If you look very very deeply into the dank dark bowels of the service agreement its there in tiny font automatically renew per their very effective and greasily slick legal team It was foolish of me to causally and blindly trust someone that I was earnestly looking forward to doing business with so that I could expand my education I recommend that you do not make the same mistake So lesson learned read the service agreement - all of it - pay attention and be careful Otherwise despite gaining costly experience as to how some institutions might theoretically use ethically debatable practices to potentially glean money from the naive and unsuspecting I rate the quality of Career Academy s actual courses as only mediocre or mixed Not bad but just not that good either Simply put there are far better online schools with far better reputations Do your research you won t regret it like I now do But again if you still wish to use Career Academy then I highly recommend that the very moment you join to IMMEDIATELY tell them TURN OFF auto renew before you eventually get charged a second time for a renewal you may not want I hope this review has helped you make a better more informed choice

I was stolen by this site
I made the signature despite not having seen the content here already reported I ended up not using the signature against bad content but to my unhappiness they have a condition of automatic renewal of the signature and I was surprised with the renewal of another year of a bad content in contact with them after realizing the debt on my card I was informed that the renewal can not be canceled It is unbelievable the stolen that they carried out and I wish that other potential customers read this site before to take any business with this bad site

As others have shared
As others have shared avoid Career Academy They have terrible customer service and it appears the company prides itself with retaining fees from customers who immediately cancel after the auto-renewal occurs Most reasonable companies issue a refund or at least a partial refund However it seems Career Academy has a business model designed to profit on auto-renewals Therefore they do not send email reminders prior to your auto-renewal Also when an issue is raised expect this company to point to terms of agreement A customer reserves the right to cancel a service Reasonable companies respect this right and issue a refund even with an auto-renewal In sum CareerAcademy is terrible Stay far away This company prides itself on profiting from customers who do not remember to cancel auto-renewal

Don t touch this company
Yes another dodgy company that relies on providing a sub standard service and auto billing you for it hoping you won t notice the renewals Legally regardless of any terms and conditions they may have you have to notify your customers before you take a payment from them Not 3 seconds before you take the payment but at least a few days so they have the option to cancel or renew Clearly this company is not GDPR compliant so you won t be able to use them in a few months anyway and with a bit of luck they will get a hefty fine When i raised a query they just said they can t do anything about it and rather than try and make me a happy customer and give me reasons to stay they just threw some terms and conditions at me unaware obviously that their terms are not actually legal Well there is more than one way to skin a cat

Almost joined but saw red flags
I was going to sign up but read reviews here first When I called them up for info about the course I was interested in they were pretty helpful until I brought up how I d read that some of their courses had technical issues Immediately they started using patronising analogies and blaming the students computers for any issues and just basically not even entertaining the thought that their courses would have ANY issues or inconsistencies in them despite tonnes of reviews saying they do have them I just found the complete unwillingness to listen and the tendency to cast blame immediately on the customer without even reading the reviews first or looking at the potential issues VERY suspicious If they were genuine they d WANT to hear look at the bad reviews so they can fix things Instead it gave me strong seedy salesman vibes sadly

Shady and unethical billing sub-par boring videos error-filled quizzes
CareerAcademy com is unethical and has shady billing practices sub-par and boring videos and error-filled quizzes with answers that contradict their materials On signup they force you to agree to automatically renew membership but don t tell you anywhere except buried in the fineprint at the very end you know in the terms of usage that nobody reads - and they know it Then they don t send you any reminders that they will auto-renew you even though they claim they do and when they charge your credit card again they refuse to refund you and tell you you should have read the fine-print Everyone should question businesses that earn money by strong-arming customers through unfair contracts rather than relying on good service and happy customers Shady businesses who care more about contracts than customers don t deserve your hard earned dollars

Absolutely poor service they are
Absolutely poor service they are finding it awfully difficult to cancel my course which leads me to leave 1 star they have appalling unprofessional forceful customer service that are obviously untrained pushy foreigners that are even possibly underpaid with how money hungry they sound they are willing to allow my 1yr old son to have 15 less meals a week for their own benefit I will shortly be contacting my bank to ensure they cannot allow any further payments to be taken from my sons mouth
