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.

Do your homework before you sign up Do your homework before you sign up. Google CBCS from NHA to see if this designation is for you. It doesn’t seem to be popular everywhere. Get everything in writing from Ashworth before you sign up. They promised me study materials for a CPC designation from AAPC. They didn’t provide any study materials for CPC. It is going to cost me thousands more to get a CPC from AAPC. Good luck with your decision.

I'd give 0 stars if I could I'd give 0 stars if I could. Do not fall for the bait and switch ($1 deposit to start the term- that's how they get you) I highly recommend having an attorney look over the contract. They feed on those simply trying to further their career- and after that $1- they will hit you with thousands and it WILL show up on your credit report. It's niche, but if you have seen the movie Wonka, the scene where the couple lets him stay at their hotel for free and he signs a contract- they then end up charging him an absurd amount at the end because it's "in the fine print"- same situation with Ashworth. And heaven for bid you DO graduate - you may as well have printed a fake degree online- they preach their 'accreditation' but look deep into it- some employers / educators will not accept their degrees as valid. Be warned. Do not go to Ashworth- you're better off going through a University/College that's accepts financial aid.

Deceptive grading practices Deceptive grading practices. Was told I passed my lab assignments with a 100 to be emailed two days later told be told " I apologize for my previous comment" and proceed to pick every part of my assignment apart down the letter .I want to say that the grade was deleted as well but I took a screenshot before it was deleted thankfully. I had already been on a back-and-forth thru help tickets with the assignments for 18 days. There is no number to call to get help. You get help thru one-sided response tickets that you can not respond to and several canceled appointments with student services that are actual phone calls because they don't cover that part of the course. How can you offer a course and then have no one to help on certain assignments. I have been in the course since April and please let me warn you once money has been paid you are on your own 100 percent. I suggest you consider ALL other options when choosing a college.

BY FAR THIS IS A BRUTAL SCHOOL IF YOU… BY FAR THIS IS A BRUTAL SCHOOL IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT! THEY LOCKED ME OUT AND I CANNOT FINISH MY PROGRAM AND I WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR IT ANYMORE AS WELL! ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND YOU OPEN A TICKET AND NO ONE CALLS YOY OR TRIED TO EVEN RESOLVE ANYTHING!!! DO NOTTTTTT TAKE ANY PROGRAM AT THIS HORRIBLE PLACE
