well me and my friend went to UEI campus for information and tour today. felt a little weird to me, like something about it was off. So I decided to do some research about the school before I made my choice. GLAD I READ THE REVIEWS about this school before deciding to join or not. I actually been online looking through MANY DIFFERENT review sites about UEI, and I can honestly say. OUT of the 1000's of reviews I read. ONLY 3 where good. while the other's where BAD. I had the feeling that it was kinda a scam school. its to much money for just a diploma. Thank you for your input. I think I'll go to city college instead. I rather go to a two year college than a 8 month scam.

I completely agree UEI College was a waste of my time! I am currently working in a Private Aerospace Company but its not thanks to them. I was working there before i decided to attend this school. My Verbal skills suck which means they didn't do anything to make me talk better. i had very good grades. I Worked an 8 to 3 Shift and would go to school from 530 to 10. Please im 18 years old and I was expecting success. My Boyfriend, My friend, My Cousin, and People they know did not get a job either. They got sent to places that weren't hiring to do their internships. i would like to start a lawsuit. Anyone know of a lawyer i can afford. I dont make much and i have a lot of debts and that school loan is KILLING me im so stressed over it.

UEI is having serious accreditation problems because of this issue of placement. they have done mass layoffs at all of their schools and they are only concerned with keeping their accreditation so they can continue taking our tuition money. They are NOT compassionate and are top heavy with too many bosses that know didly shit about education. Its more about Who you know at UEI! And some of the corporate Whores know that this is absolutely the truth! be wary, be very wary and do not enroll here for at least one year. At that time see if they are still in operation. No accreditation = no funding! No funding = no school!!

I attended the BOA program at UEI CHULA VISTA. Everyone is entilted to their own opinions! I absolutely had a great experience at this school and I learned so much. They got me an externship as an Executive Assistant at a Real Estate Firm and I am now employed there. If it wasn't for my Teacher and my training I received I would have been stuck in the food service hating my job. I now sit behind a desk in a comfortable chair and do something I love. My experience was great at UEI, everyone is entitled to their own opinons. I feel for those who didn't have such a great experience, but not all experience at UEI are bad. Mine is one of the many sucess stories from UEI. My husband is now attending for his Criminal Justice Diploma and he loves it. I would recommend this school if you can dedicate everyday to your studies and are prepared for a fast track course, because it is very fast paced. If you aren't, then I recommended a regular community college.

I am planning to file a lawsuit against UEi pretty soon. They sent me to collection for 3605 but raised it to almost 5 thousand dollars because i did not pay the remainning balance but it was impossible to pay that much when they i have no job and did not do anything. The career service ladies were very rude. The president from the school called me telling me that the collection agency was charging the extra 1500 and i called the agency and told me the school was cheaging me that which is ridiculous when they didnt find me a job and still expect me to pay more. i payed them 10 gran out of my pocket since they told me i didnt qualify for financial aid. I think we should all make a complain on the news and get our money fake for fraud. because they promise all these things but they do not even help you at all. if you are interested in the lawsuit i live in california this is my email address nm_Avalos@yahoo

I am planning to file a lawsuit against uei. They send me to collection for not paying 3605 but and added an extra 1500 making it 5000 to pay them. How do they expect me to pay when they never helped me find a job. They career service personnel were rude and not helpful. I graduated 2010 its 2012 and still havent heard from them. went many times to the school and they were always rude they would take long periods of time to attend me and would send all the school to the same interviews they send me too. I live in the inland empire so if you would like to get together and make a complain even put in the news this is my email nm_Avalos@yahoo. I paid them over 10 gran out of my pocket since they told me i didnt qualify for financial aid. I think it isnt fair that they do this to us.

UEI has been having problems in placing students with jobs let alone externship positions. The career service department will only assist you in finding a job after graduation. I stress the word "assist." There is no guarantee by the company or the school that a graduated student will have one but the people in their admissions department use that as a selling point to get you in the door. Essentially it is a lie from the beginning. The company is more interested in collecting the tuition money than the benefits of the student. Each campus must have a certain number of placements of students to meet accreditation criteria for each program offered. This required number will determine if the school will be able to accept more enrollments. At this moment, the majority and eventually all the UEI campuses will slow or stop enrollment because these numbers are not being met. In addition to the stoppage in enrollment, a vast majority of staff members and instructors company wide have been laid off with multiple classes combined into larger ones. The current students enrolled at some of their campuses now are being forced to go on a leave of absence so that they can resolve the placement issue to get back on track. Each student that enrolls with UEI signs an agreement of 8 months or whatever time frame for program completion that is stated by their representative, the students affected can sue UEI for a breach in contract where the company has failed in that regards. Therefore, a reimbursement of tuition can be a possibility so check with a lawyer on this. A class action is possible if more than 60 students pursue this. Another problem that this company has is the level of training and education of the so called instructors. The majority of the instructors do not know their right hand from their left. Either the instructors have not worked in the field they teach for years or they hire instructors that are purely ignorant. Yes there are "good' instructors but not many. When a prospective student takes a tour of a campus, the person providing the product knowledge of the program in question is usually the "smartest" one there or the person would repeat a memorized cheat sheet of the "spectacular" things the program would offer. Well, it is a load of misinformation because the severely entry level of education of their instructors. Just because an instructor says I have been doing whatever it is for so many years does not make you an expert or even knowledgeable. You may wondering how I would know all of this. Well, I will not disclose my current job position with UEI but I hope this will shed some light on how bad this company is. LIES, DECEPTIONS, POOR EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM, IGNORANT INSTRUCTORS, AND UNCARING STAFF MEMBERS AND DIRECTORS WILL PRODUCE THE LOWEST QUALITY STUDENTS YOU CAN IMAGINE. If you are guessing I have some bad blood with the company, well I do if they are going to produce a poor quality student from the moment they enroll to the day they graduate. After hearing from some employers who have hired recent graduates of UEI, these employers have let these graduates go because of the poor level of training and education received by them. I have been an educator for 15 years teaching post secondary to collegiate courses. I have never seen such a dysfunctional company that has so much financial greed at the cost of the students they enroll. You can do the math. $16, 000 roughly for tuition and multiply that by 1000 to 4500 students (depending on the campus) every 8 months to a year. That is a lot of money that each campus would receive gross wise. You can imagine where UEI's priorities are. Well, I hope this sheds a little light on how bad UEI is and not to consider any of their vocational programs.

Hey Carpool man... you are a moron... these people are complaining about the empty promises they are required to pay for...its obvious you are a shill for these so called crooks ...Google Uei and type the word "scam" next to it ...you will find a long list of people complaining and using thier personal time to create informative blogs about the horrors of this place. If uei was so good...how come there are so many complaints. Use your comon sense and look back at anything that is a sham...there will be mostly complaints and one or two that are conected with the scam itself defending it and putting anyone down who exposes them.
I am personally starting blogs that tell the truth about these so called schools...I will enjoy these guys going down...Join the fight Start a blog ...I can show you how...message me here...we can take these crooks down by exposing them to the world...
peace and justice

Hello, I would like to know how to file a class action law suit against UEI. UEI is the huge Scam, they do and say anything just to sign you up, and all that said is out the window. I would love to start a class action suit against UEI for misrepresenting them selves, When I first went to UEI, I told them my situation regarding how i want to get in, but it would be kind of hard since i am a single mom of two. They told me not to worry, they offer financial assistant. I asked them what if i only attend school for 2 or 3 weeks and quit due to circumstances, they said no problem, i would only pay for the time i went there and not the whole amount which was about 5, 000. They even gave me a form in case i wanted to drop, they said that i had two weeks to chance my mind, and i Will not be charged at all, as if i did not go in at all. I said OK sound good, i will give it a try. LIES!! I went for the two weeks, then i had to leave, what happened! they send me the whole bill amount. All what they told me was nothing but lies just so i sing up to meet there quota. For over 3 years now, and the collection agency harasses me everyday on my cell phone. I called UEI and told them the situation about 16 times, to find my paperwork to see that i should not have to pay according to what they told me, know one calls me back, nor reply to my emails. If there is a Class action law suit out there please add me to it.
Thank you Halla Elsineit

This massage is for the carpool man, you must be the stupidest man alive, look at how many are complaining about the big scam of a school UEI. you probably work over there. the complaints have nothing to do with what your talking about, Everyone is just saying that they got ripped off, and that is true. UEI is nothing but a scam!! with liars and incompetent people working there, and know one at UEI gives a shit about others, they just say anything just so you sign up and then they say, F**k you we never said that. Liars, liars, liars. I will do what ever in my power to see that damm school close down, and not scam anyone any more.

UEI- San Diego

Why is it so hard to locate their address or even a list of faculty members at UEI? I wonder why...hm. Maybe its a guilt thing. Well I don't know where to begin. Honestly, because when you get mugged you are left dazed on the street- and that's exactly what happened. First off, I had not heard of of "for-profit" college when I enrolled. I was under the impression there was a sense of decency and a certain level of standards a college would be required to provide the students before they took out massive federal loans under their name. Wow, was I wrong. Not anymore, Apparently the federal government doesn't have time to police the fraud and abuse committed by these crooks, and instead only has time to look at numbers on a page. So how do they do it? They consider any job after you take post-graduation as meeting their employment fulfillment. They completely lie to you about the qualifications of the instructors and the quality of your education. Everything is a rouse, and they are nothing more than muggers. Every single person in that building is robbing you. Not only will be saddled with massive debt, but you will be depressed, downtrodden, confused and you will have nowhere to turn. So it takes a psychological cost to just go to this school. It's more like a war zone. They owe penny back to every single student who walked through their doors- for at least the program I was enrolled in (computer systems technician), which sounds like a joke in itself. Call it day care for adults.

Scam

I went to this school in 2007. They made it seem like it was the best school ever. They lie to. They tell you they can help you find a job. Well is been 7 yrs and till this day not once I have work as an MA. But every month a get a bill to pay. But for what? So I haven't made a paid for awhile. What the point. If they don't help me why am I going to pay. Plus I went to another school here in the 818. And they were trying to enroll me to another program. When I went in I ask for a refresher and they said no right away. They are crazy.

How could they do this?!?!?

I am so upset! I went in the school depressed desperate and willing to do whatever to have a career or some type of job that would help me maintain me and my child. Something that would make me feel good about myself. I am bipolar also and this has taken a big toll on me. I saw a commercial on TV so I decided to call. After the first call they had to not leave me alone. They are masterminds at selling dreams. And for a person so vulnerable and desperate it's hard to say no. It's like they know what to say and they have a positive answer for every obstacle that you vocalize. For example job search, paying back, loans Etc. But they have a jolly Smiley upbeat answer for everything. And I gave in I gave my all! I figured even if I had a debt that I would be able to pay back because I would have a job and at that point it didn't matter how hard it would be in the future as long as I had a job and felt good about myself. I went to school July 2007. here we are May 2017 all I have is more depression I'm more desperate and on top of it humongous debt. there's days when I don't want to wake up. I need help I want this nightmare to go away. I want you to United Education Institute to do the right thing they lie they mislead. we are just desperate people wanting to change to the positive. You are ethically and morally and financially So wrong!!!!
