So far, so good So far, I love it! I've been wanting to get my degree for a while and ran into a lot of trouble. I was doing a late-night search trying to find other options, and Ashworth came up. I signed up immediately, and one month later, I don't regret it. I am already a quarter of the way through my degree program as they accepted my old credits from another college and from Sophia.org. The only cons are: -It's really hard to reach a professor. Emails go unanswered, and everything is really impersonal. -You also must be really self-motivated since everything is self-paced. I've created a plan with due dates to help me stay on task. -Lastly, you need to understand that it's national accreditation, so if you want to transfer elsewhere, the credits may not be accepted. However, it's good to know that MANY schools will accept the credits, and it will be easy to transfer out for a graduate degree.

Absolutely trashy business practices Absolutely trashy business practices. I signed up, but was unable to take any classes due to a health issue. They refused to give me a refund, despite the fact that I never was able to finish even one class. DO NOT trust these people. VERY shady business practices. They have sent a bogus balance to a collection agency and supposedly there is a "gotcha clause" in their terms and conditions that allows them to collect the balance regardless of your personal circumstances. Not the kind of stress I needed when trying to recover from a medical procedure. AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!

Scam Scam! I am an Alumni from Ashworth College. I am writing because I have been demanding a refund since I have been a student with no success. This is due to the lack of engagement from teachers and the fact that I have been unable to find a Pharmacy Technician job though I am certified and finished a internship which counts as experience and Ashworth has career services that have not been of any help to me. I have been getting nothing but rejections from companies though the website states they their program is rated among the top 10 best. They are taking advantage of people who don't have time or money to invest in university. Do Not Purchase their courses!

They choose which transcripts you get :) They arbitrarily decided to send me 1 of 2 paid for transcripts. I talked to Parchment and Ashworth Billing* multiple times, doesn't matter. I'm out my money for the 2nd transcript. Parchment even said they would refund me the money for my missing transcript, definitely didn't get that. They used to be good, I don't know what happened. Don't even bother going here. *The asterisks is because I am unable to get into touch with Student Services no matter what. There's no phone number, they never called me back during any of the many appointments I made, and the "chat" option is a robot without the ability to communicate. I get better conversations out of my plants. Have yet to have a ticket answered, but I received loads of "how are we doing?" surveys.

Ashworth 0/5 Avoid this school at all cost. I’ve never been out down and discouraged as I do with these teachers. I’ve been in this career for years now and I’ve never expected anything so belittling. And don’t expect help because they don’t offer that at this school. I have so much to say that I don’t know where to start. I turn in things and I’m lucky if it’s graded with in the “14 day time frame”. Then it’s normally denied this first two times. Which takes over a month to successfully get something approved. Because she will add things onto the assignment that was not asked for in the skill sheet. Then you fix that and turn it in and she has decided that she didn’t like something else. I turned in a paper and there was not a format listed so I did it in sort of an essay form. Well after 4 attempts, I realize it’s just because she wants it in list form. So I left all my pervious information and turned it in, in a different form using all information already on the essay and it was all the sudden approved. All the information was there every time. She picks apart everything that I do. I now have been put back months and have to pay for an extension (if I stay) because it takes her way to long to grade anything. My most recent denial was due to me wearing a warming vest over top of my scrubs because our clinic is freezing. So, this means everything I’ve done with the vest on over my scrubs has to be re-recorded and redone. She does not stand by the curriculum that we are given at all. She makes up her own rules and wants as she goes and expects you to read her mind. After my years working in a clinic, it’s obvious she has never stepped foot in a real life vet med. I have other degrees and have attended other colleges, I have never seen one so unprofessional with such unreasonable teachers.
