Ashworth University is a joke. I am a former employee, and speaking from "behind the lines" : Don't waste your money.The company gives employees in Enrollment a small bonus for every new enrollment, even if the student cancels the next day. This leads to the recruiter doing whatever they must to enroll a student--even lie. They have lied about prices, about what the school can/can't do, etc. DON'T FALL FOR IT!
Then, once you're enrolled, you're caught. Even if you immediately decide it's not for you, you'll have a heck of a time getting your money back.
And if you decide to continue on, you're guaranteed to have many problems along the way, be it late responses, bad information, technical mishaps, etc".
Even then, if you somehow manage to graduate (less than 15% of Ashworth students make it this far), your degree probably won't be accepted in most traditional schools/work/.
Technically, the school is accredited?. But, that piece of paper is essentially worthless in the real world". You'd be better off saving your money and attending traditional high school or community college/.
Back in October, the company laid off 17 workers, including me and people who had worked there 17 YEARS, single mothers, etc;. They took us individually into a conference room, told us, then advised us we were to leave immediately--not say goodbye to anyone or tell anyone what happened?. And we were not allowed back on the premises--ever:.
What a company, huh?
Please...don't waste your money. 1285262

Written by *** Reps. on March 16, 2012 from regina, saskatchewan, CA there representatives are complete ***, all i wanted was information on the program I was interested in, and they keep *** hassling me. I know a few people who took programs here and they were not able to do anything with it.. They will tell you a bunch of bullshit, dont fall for it. They left a million voice mails home and cell. They wont leave me alone. This is like the WORST Uni. |
| 2. Written by FormerEmployeeOf_Ashworth on March 13, 2012 from stone mountain, georgia, US Yes, frustrated poster. Also, I used to sort the mail. Those "letters to the dean" were immediately thrown away, without ever being read. |
| 3. Written by frustrated on March 12, 2012 from mars hill, north carolina, US 1. Waiting on hold for an hour at a time. 2. Waiting several days for exam codes. 3. Waiting 2+ weeks to receive books. 4. Never receiving return calls from the Registrar's office. 5. No return emails from Student Services. 6. "If you're not happy and want to speak with the Dean's office, write a letter." If you don't mind waiting for long periods of time, frustration and lack of professionalism, Ashworth is for you! |
| 4. Written by FormerEmployeeOf_Ashworth on January 27, 2012 from athens, georgia, US You don't have to believe me. The grammar and syntax of those who just loved/love Ashworth should be proof enough for skeptics. |
| 5. Written by I loved my ashworth experience on January 25, 2012 from concord, california, US moving at a slow pace or fast pace-finishing my degree in a much faster time then normal- i enjoyed my experience with them so much back in 2004, that i re-enrolled again to get a 2nd degree currently-and that was after attend real universities- and the payments are low-i guess it's whatever works for you-i agree there is not to much challenge tho |

| 7. Written by Florida Student on November 21, 2011 from tampa, florida, US Hi, I am enrolled in James Madison High School online(Ashworth) and I have had no problems so far. Everyone is super nice and before I filled out the application, I called around to local colleges where I am and they said they accept pple from Ashworth. As long as your head is in the game and concentrated on the work you have to do, you'll be absolutly fine. I love that it's self paced bc im having a baby in a few weeks.  |
| 8. Written by Shawnee on November 16, 2011 from cleveland, ohio, US I took their Medical Assisting Program in 1993, graduated, paid it off, got my diploma. Never had any further dealing with them until I received a collection letter in the mail today. Now, almost 20 years later, I have been sent to collections? For what???? Seems to me they have some really big issues and are pulling names out a hat to send to collections.....if I had known then that they would bill me again, I would not have done it in the first place... |
| 9. Written by school girl on September 23, 2011 from varnville, south carolina, US If they have been in business for 17 years, they must be doing somethng right. All I am saying!! |
| 10. Written by Ripped Off on September 13, 2011 from water valley, mississippi, US This bunch of thugs has been charging me for 9 months now, and reporting my refusal to pay to the credit bureaus. I never received my books, and they have repeatedly refused to send more. They want me to pay nearly $300 "cancellation" to get them to go away. I made agreement that I would start paying if they'd send my books. I did, and they didn't. When I called over a month after the payment cleared, they "Suddenly" remembered....too late. Fool me once, your fault. Fool me twice, my fault. I won't be here for #3. The whole "business" of ashworth is a scam. |
