  This company is fraudulent. They promise one thing and deliver nothing.***** ****, Head of Career Advancements, assured me he would support me regarding the course quality and overall experience. However, after two additional weeks, he cancelled my scheduled meeting without reason. He also communicated to me that IK is expanding fast and is unable to keep up with demand.The course price was changed three times within hours of my decision to enroll. Once I paid, the lady **** stopped responding. The support is unresponsive, with multiple people using the same email under different names, making issue tracking impossible.Content quality is extremely poor: video/audio quality is substandard, live sessions lack continuity with a new instructor each week, and the value is no better than a few low-cost Udemy courses.Enrolling here is not just a waste of money and timeits an investment in frustration. I strongly advise against joining, even if they paid you to attend.

  This is mostly a $10k scam / rip-off via Klarna/Affirm loan - really bad business. Stay away, even ChatGPT can teach better. After clicking an Interview Kickstart ad, I received so many texts & calls every day that eventually tried to check it out, only later to find a lot of complaints about Interview Kickstart, how they continuously push you with false claims and shady business practices. It is not even a US company as they make it seem, a lots of the claims they make are false, they have been refusing to cancel and keep tricking me into signing unclear agreements. There are very concerning reviews on BBB, Reddit, Quora. After cancelling I keep getting more calls/emails without a resolution. I now believe most Trustpilot reviews must be fake, its basically a very expensive $10k cost for watching some videos/zoom calls. Absolute rip-off **************

  Subject: Concern Regarding Misleading Enrollment Practices by Interview Kickstart Id like to share my experience with Interview Kickstart, which I found through an Instagram ad. Unfortunately, this led to misleading interactions and a financial commitment I did not anticipate.During a phone call, their representative urged me to sign up via Affirm, assuring me it was not a payment obligationjust a registration step. I was unfamiliar with Affirm and believed there was no financial commitment involved.While signing up, I was pressured to slide the Affirm bar to proceed. To make me to slide the bar, he sent an email proof stating I could cancel enrollment before the course began, with a specific deadline.I contacted Interview Kickstart well before that date to cancel, as I wasnt ready to proceed. My requests were met with delays and vague responses. I filed a formal dispute with ******, providing proof that I had canceled within the allowed timeframe and reiterating my lack of awareness about ***************** terms.Interview Kickstart then asked me to cancel the dispute, promising a refund afterward. I declined, stating they should resolve the matter directly with Affirm. I also clarified that I hadnt attended any sessions or accessed course material and didnt want to be financially obligated.Despite this, Interview Kickstart told Affirm I had joined the program and must pay. This is inaccurateI never participated in the course.This experience reflects a serious breach of trust and transparency. I urge others to be cautious when dealing with Interview Kickstart, as their practices may result in unexpected financial commitments.I am now deeply concerned and uncertain about the $8,000 charged through Affirm.

  It has been a deeply deeply painful experience with Interview Kickstart. I signed up in a rush and realized in the first *********************************************************************** They have been harassing me when I started asking for refund immediately. It is a total total scam.

  Total scam. The program doesnt meet expectations and its not worthy. The agreement says its refundable but they claim I am not eligible for refund. This is total scam, I am thinking about how can I proceed legally

  a total awful scam, they talk about job opportunities and providing jobs before joining the program, then after joining, they say the program is all about course work and helping you prepare for jobs and not about providing job opportunities.also my work authorization expired and i cannot take up a job, they still refuse to refund me as it's been 3 weeks since i joined the program and you can only ask for refund in first week of your program.

  Interview Kickstart uses the excitement of a student to gain knowledge in Machine language coupled with the opportunity to work for a top software companies to deceive one to believe they would would provide a program that fits within your work schedule. The representative stated I would be funded if I could not pay for the program, never the less, I gave a $1000 down to insure a spot but we soon realize I could afford not the program. I requested a refund they manufactured a document stating I signed a contract. They are refusing my refund. Interview Kickstart sound sincere but they do not honor an honest verbal agreement.

  Its a total Scam, running by these group of people charing a hefty fees and not even disclosing the underlying clauses and scenarios of getting the money back. They all push you so hard to enroll and what you get in the end is nothing. ***************************** the program advisor, always put the rosy picture and do not explain clearly the clauses that you will not get refund if you dont perform well. How can I perform well in those hard programming classes because thats not my forte. The Data Science course is totally different from my expectation so at the end I asked for the refund and these people like you have to perform well and be graded to get the refunded. How can I perform in those dynamic programming classes. which ran for almost 45 days in the beginning of a three months program. Didnt spend much time on predictive modeling and model building or types of models.Please do not enroll into these kind of programs..! Beware of Interview kickstart, it is a total scam..!!
