Students might want to think twice about enrolling in local medical training center

PC Tech Learning Center has the smell of something not quite on the up and up. Our story begins with one Ralph Georges who is accused of stealing $5,000 from prospective students. He took the money for fees, accreditation certificates and other services he never provided. Two students tried to get the attention of the administration of PC Tech Learning Center who kept blowing them off. Suddenly, once the Jersey Journal started asking questions on behalf of the students, PC Tech Learning Center couldn't call the police and launch their own internal investigation fast enough. When translated this means "Ruh Ro, somebody in the media is onto something, students we can stonewall, the media we can't".

One student took a certification test and found out her certificate was faked and her name spelled wrong on it. She found out her medical certificate was faked during an interview with a doctor earlier this year. Nice.

But back to Ralph Georges, and the fact students felt since he was employed by PC Tech Learning Center they should get a full refund. Not so fast, they didn't want to give money back for his very questionable actions. Suddenly the story changed to "Well he's an independent contractor and uh, you know not really authorized to take money and well um you know..." Students again had a hard time getting reimbursed until the Jersey Journal again started asking questions and amazingly, refunds were then given.

If you're looking for a medical training school of some kind, it sounds to us like you'd do well to steer clear of PC Tech Learning Center, it just doesn't sound like students are their first priority.
