      I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the cancellation of the Envision Medical Program which was scheduled for June 24. I was extremely excited to have enrolled my son in this program to advance his knowledge in the medical field. However, its unfortunate that they cancelled on my son because I could not pay the full amount of $3125 today which I was going to pay before the program.When I enrolled my son in the program, I paid $499, and I was told that I would be able to get my money back if the event it was canceled or if he couldnt attend. However, now, I was informed that in order to be eligible for a refund, I needed to purchase some insurance. This was never mentioned before to me.On top of that, I was asked to pay the full amount today, which is contradictory to what I was told earlier. I was informed that I had until the date of the program to pay it in full. This is utterly unacceptable, and I think its unfair to treat people this way.Furthermore, I have gone through the reviews of some other parents after I paid $800 In total, and I realized that your company has scammed several people in the past. It is sad that I had to face this situation and come to the realization that I might have lost $800 due to misinformation.Therefore, I request an immediate refund of $800. I can not pay the full amount today ands to be honest my son does not want to attend any longer.

      This is a TOTAL SCAM!!!!! We enrolled my daughter and received the first acceptance paper with seal that had my daughter's name spelled incorrectly so I called asked for it to be corrected. They wouldn't print a new paper for her with correct name I was like ok I'll deal with it but today I received another acceptance after her father paid the deposit. This one had my daughter middle name and her father's middle name. They gave new enrollment id and everything. Asked again for a paper with her real name and again they told me that we couldn't get another copy. Blamed us for the confusion and told us that we couldn't speak to supervisor. I spoke to 10 people before I finally got someone. Still no help. I feel they are just getting people's information and using it however they want. I think they sent this second one to see if we would pay again. Yal beware of this company!!! I hope someone catches them soon.
