They could probably tell you if they've received any complaints about them or if there are any issues with them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-certification-program-legit-or-a-scam#post-1081728 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 08:41:47 +0000 loveisstrange 1081728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, there is a place called Education Consulting Associates who is advertising partnering with Auburn University on some certification programs (Medical Assisting, Paralegal, etc. Stuff like that). They say they specialize in "Helping military members and spouses utilize their military benefits to earn certificates and degrees in the healthcare, business, information technology and security fields."</p> <p>I asked the lady if the programs were accredited and she said they are regionally accredited.</p> <p>Im a little skeptical that this is all legit. Can anyone point me in a direction to be able to tell? I would be interested in doing something like this and using my spouse benefits while I still can, but I don't want to waste my time if it's not going to get me anywhere.</p> <p>Here's their website:<br /> <a href="http://www.edconsultingassociates.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.edconsultingassociates.org/</a> </p>
