My Computer Career Full Review

The video is to help you understand the certifications that you can acquire from attending My Computer Career. I also talk about my experience with the school and the classroom environment.
(Update)
Thank you to everyone that has watched my video. It’s has got a lot more attention then I figured it would. I noticed that some online blogs now have links to the video. It’s been almost 3 years and I had forgotten about it until I received a call from My CC management. I would like to give an update on my experience with the school given the call I received. The call started off fairly normal asking me about my time at MyCC. After a few minutes into the call and saying I still believe the school is a lot like the infomercials you see saying you can lose 60lbs in a month by doing 4 sit ups a day on their program. I explain it’s not possible to get the amount of experience in IT within the 6 months of class. That would take a couple of years to truly learn. After saying my view has not changed, she said she wanted me to take down my video. I told her if they really wanted to help people and have me remove or update my video, she needed to show me I was wrong, by helping me get a good paying job in IT. The call went form saying they would like to help to saying she was not sure if she wanted to help anymore and would call me back the next day. Well, I never got the call. To me this just enforces my view of the school. She was truly calling to try and have my video removed, not to help. If they wanted to help, help would have been first on their list, then asking to remove the video would have been second. Again, thanks to everyone that has taken the time to watch and read my review. I will update everyone if I ever get a call back or any real help form the school.

[@NC.Chris.]

@@zaidsheikh5352 thank you very much for replying and yeah I’ve made my decision not to go now..do you think the certificates you have and or a job in the computer field is worth pursuing if I were to try and get those certs somewhere else?

[@zaidsheikh5352]

LiveAtTheBBQ I think it depends on the certifications. Work experience in IT is probably the biggest factor in getting a job. Certifications I would recommend are for the related topics in Python, SQL Database, and bash scripting (Linux). These things will get you jobs immediately. There is a high demand and you don’t need relevant work experience. MyComputerCareer didn’t teach me any of this. They did have a Linux certification, but that is low level. A lot of the certifications MyComputerCareer has, you can teach it yourself. Just buy the books off amazon and learn the material on your own. Not worth $23,000 dollars.

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to do this video. I just sat on a zoom meeting with these people after watching all these great videos posted by MyCC. They were so convincing and made the schools sound so great. I filled out the application and did my fafsa online with them. Something in my spirit just didn't sit well with the whole experience. It began to feel pyramid scheme-ish they way they pressure and try to convince you. I spoke to 3 different people, and when I began to share my reservations, they brought in a 4th person to talk to me. For some reason the zoom call disconnected, and I wasn't able to get back in touch with them. Which gave me an opportunity to do some more research. That's how I found this video, along with some complaints on the Better Business Bureau website. Again, thank you for saving us from making this mistake!

I was considering, but based on the research I think I will choose a different route. I knew it was too good to be true. Typically it it sounds too good to b true, it is. I have seen Bruce Ackerman make statements solely based around making money. He hasn't disputed many of the things that people are saying i.e. there really isn't much hands on, that it's all labs etc. So thank you to all who have contributed the positive and negative feedback.

Awesome video. I enrolled to MCC 3 weeks ago...was given the start date... and was then informed the first day would be bumped back 1 day. I was OK with that, then 2 days before the first day I was told that it is now going to be 4 weeks before the first day. I started the lessons and was impressed because I was learning things and was excited about the course but when the delays started I really began to doubt the validity of this place.

It was so expensive, and I looked it up at my local community college and I saw the same thing: $22,000 for MCC, or about $8,000 for even more than is offered at MCC including an associates degree, coding, and all the certifications I'll need. Thank you so much for posting this video. It saved me a ton of money, as I was almost duped by the snake oil salesmen after losing my job and being desperate for a new career path.

[@zaidsheikh5352]

The school’s tuition is somewhere around $23,000 dollars. That’s if you want to complete the systems administrator program. If you want to complete the cyber security program, that is somewhere around $13,000 dollars, you have to complete the systems admin ($23k) program first. That’s around $36,000 dollars all together. No technical school or traditional college does this. Even schools that are a rip off don’t to this. It’s very unprofessional. Definitely not worth it.

[@fernandomarquez3837]

Daniel, I really appreciate the time you took to make this video, and to give all of us an overview of what to expect. I noticed that a lot of people in the comments have different opinions towards your video, but I personally think it's very informative. One thing you opened my mind on was taking classes for these certifications can be found around your area for way cheaper. I know for everyone, their experience and outcome is different, but like you said, people have to do their research. Everything you mentioned, from the process of getting enrolled to how your life can change, is spot on. I'm in the process of getting enrolled, but after watching your video, I'm having second thoughts. It's pretty ironic how just a few weeks ago I get through the mail a catalog that they send every year for Adult and Community Education classes (pretty much career exploration for what they have to offer in getting certified; depending on your career choice) and as I was watching your video, I looked through the catalog and everything you mentioned on how much cheaper you can get certified in the IT field, was right there. It is a big difference compared to MyComputerCareer, and I'm seriously considering putting a stop to my enrollment and getting my certifications one by one. Thank you once again Daniel, I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors, and I hope everything works out in your favor.

[@Riceshack]

Good stuff! I was getting ready to call them back with many questions. You just answered all my questions without the runaround. It sounds like work experince is the key.

Well, after watching and listening to you, I think this is the answer I am asking for. Thank you!!

False. Last time I was there you guys bought AMD based laptops that didnt even support Virtual Machine environments out of the box, then switched to laptops that didnt even have video I/O for the monitors at the school. Then later started offering tablets to students in the final courses to act as the carrot to keep them from dropping. If your going to charge for a crappy BGA laptop, at least offer for students to get a performance laptop that will last half as long as the loans life time.

The positive ones reek of bs. I'm looking At the Indianapolis campus. I'm only making 11 hourly I'm in my early 20s. It's really tempting to sign up but the price of this course vs the certification and lack of experience is pretty scary.I still have a lot of options and I dnt the financial commitment will be worth the payout in the end.

[@backerman12]

Which is scarier, Damon, the risk of investing in yourself to double or triple your income over the next few years, or the risk of staying in an $11/hour job? (you only need about $5 more per hour to pay for your education (maybe less if you qualify for financial aid) and even Daniel here agrees that you can accomplish that with the education you'll gain!) The positive reviews you've read have ZERO BS. They are candid testimonials from successful students. Uncoached and unprompted. Only you can determine your future, but don't let the sour grapes of a few who failed rob you of your potential for success. Students who don't quit succeed. And successful people waste little time talking about it on social media.

I will say that IT field is a harder field. I have taken courses at community college and transferred to a university with a bachelors in Cyber Security. We also had to obtain A+ , Network +, Security + and you know what, every job I applied for needed experience. The only thing that somewhat helped was the Bachelors Degree but the places of employment were more interested in the certifications and I also had to start off in desktop technician or helpdesk position

I have to ask you do you think this school will be worth it then going to a four-year University.

[@zaidsheikh5352]

@@tiffanyfrye9136 I don’t think it’s worth it. I attended this school. If you have experience in IT and need the certifications, you can go. However, I did not have any experience and I feel like I did not get my money’s worth. Not worth $23,000 dollars if you ask me.

[@backerman12]

I'm not sure why you would be looking for information on how NOT to get a career out of your education, but that's the biggest takeaway from this video; "How to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." If you want to find out how to actually succeed, I suggest you go to campus and talk to the people who will help you and some other students and then make your own judgment. This video is chock full of misinformation and distortion.

[@tribejudah9665]

This school is a rip-off. I just graduated in September 2020 and they got me a job at a company taking back to back calls from angry customers that needed their phones repaired. On top of that it's not even getting me experience for IT field. As soon as you sign documents, that they continuously send you until you sign, and the constant phone calls, then they charge you $185 a month while you're making $14 doing call center working. The classes don't prepare you for the exams. You're totally lost when you go to get the exams. I had to pay for extra training to get prepared for test. You're better off paying for the exam out of pocket. Go online and get study materials and go take the exam. Don't expect to get a job right away. Keep applying until someone give you a chance to get your foot in the door.

[@jenniferlynn2679]

I am in the program now 3 months in as of today, I have already emailed my advisors to drop out, not so much cause of the bad reviews but because I failed my mTA twice and I know its way to fast pace for me to keep up. I can study and obtain certs but I am a slow learner and need several months to prepare for each cert before I take it. MYCC rushes you though and its way to much information to deal with, no wonder why I failed.

Try your local community college or find some online courses. You can the Meyers book from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. This school costs $23,000 and as an alumni, I received 4 of the 8 certifications offered there. I feel like I didn’t get my money’s worth. But that’s just my Opinion.

[@IL_Bgentyl]

Just checking in to see what others think. Debating on doing this or college on the side to soak up some of the GI bill. Ive heard both good and bad things.

[@zaidsheikh5352]

I attended the school from 2018-2019. The school costs close to $23,000.00 dollars and it’s very fast pace. If you have work experience or previous knowledge in IT and you need the certifications, school is definitely recommended. If you have no prior work experience in IT and you are absolutely new to the material, I would NOT recommend this school. It’s not for everybody like myself, but I know people who were satisfied with the results. Personally, I had to buy the books off of amazon and study the material myself. That’s how I obtained my certifications. Surprisingly, this school has a GPA systems which a lot of technical computer training schools don’t have. The course material the school gave me like watching endless hours of videos didn’t help. I had to buy the material myself and study on my own and I found some better videos on KZbin. However, some people liked the online learning videos the school offered. Everybody has different learning styles I guess. Good luck with your decision!!

Their cybersecurity program is close to $13k and you have to take the system admin program ($23k) first in order to take cybersecurity. That is $36k all together if you take both programs.

thanks for this honest and detailed review. these guys call every day at least twice a day. i filled out an application and they held my hand for the FAFSA forms (actually really helpful since I've never done that before) and they showed me how much i qualified to loan. i also applied to a local community college, it's local so i will probably go that route. i'm curious if their teaching process has improved. I'm also worried about the pace of these courses because in a community college you can pace yourself. I really want to ACTUALLY LEARN the difficult material, not just memorize the answers. This is probably the biggest turn off. QUESTION: is there someplace where you can get all these certifications cheaper?

[@zaidsheikh5352]

I graduated from the MyComputerCareer school back in 2019 of April. While I learned a lot there, I had to teach myself a lot of the material. I went to Barnes & Noble and amazon.com and bought some books/resources. This school is very very fast paced and I would strongly recommend this school only to people who have experience in IT or pick things up quickly. The final exam, post assessment quizzes was overwhelming and I didn’t have enough time to study for the actual certifications. The labs are virtual and you get no hands on experience (they use skill soft for the labs). Once they are done with the course, they move on to the next one not giving us enough time to study. It’s not a bad school, but it’s definitely not worth $23,000 dollars. I graduated with like four certifications (3 MTAs and Comptia A+) from that school. I could have gone some where else and saved more than half the money I spent.

I'm also looking into attending mycc. I noticed you didn't mention that included in the tuition are your certification tests. The tests are pretty expensive and they cover them until you pass them which I thought was pretty awesome. I had my interview (I guess you would call it) a few days ago and I was pretty impressed with everything. Especially the test guarantee. Did they not do any career placement with you? I visited the campus in Raleigh NC, where there are a lot of companies that (supposedly) hire mycc graduates. Is that not the case with the location you attended? Honestly to me the school is expensive but no more so than any other online college or any other faster paced schools I've looked in to. But if the end game isn't what they say it is then I'm not sure about it. Obviously I don't expect to have the highest position right after graduation but I do expect at least a shot at an entry level position some where that could eventually become one.

The tests cost a few measly hundred compared to the $30,000 you're going to end up paying. The certs offered by the school are also the certs that you should be able to pass on the first try if you ever hope to have a career in IT.
