Google should be your friend - especially if you are considering the possibility of tossing your VA money at them:

The Better Business Bureau is always a good place to start:
https://www.bbb.org/raleigh-durham/b...gh-nc-90083119

Employee reviews are generally going to make the company sound awesome so read with caution:
https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Mycomputercareer/reviews

Complaint boards make them sound like criminals so again, read with caution:
https://www.complaintsboard.com/comp...s-c377566.html

The truth is somewhere in the middle of employee reviews and unhappy customers.

I would talk with your nearest education center on post ,or dig a little deeper to see what pops up. F
or the money - I would also consider looking into a regular degree path in IT or certificate courses from an established university if you are spending VA benefits. it would be a shame to spend your VA money on an on-line certificate mill that doesn't really provide you with a long term payoff.


........just my two cents
