In December of 2017 i purchased an online course from cornerstone appliance repair training for $800.00. i made the purchase based on it offered a certification and what was said on the site for taking the final exam to get the certification, all of the requirements were met to take the final exam, it took 5 or 6 emails to get a response from them to get the information to take the exam. i was then told something other than what his website states about the requirments to take the exams. I sent him pictures of what his site states, 4 days later no response, i then sent him another email stating that i will go else where to take the test and get the certification and that his course was useless with out the paper, and that i was done playing his games and he could just go ahead and refund my money, as of today no refund.
Below i will show you what the website says then i will post the actuall email they sent me.

The Following is cornerstones statement by email.
Our POLICY for ALL students that were NEW/BEGINNERS to the Appliance Repair Industry. My partner and I decided that we did not want to hand out Cornerstone Appliance Training Certification Certificates like candy!!
After being in this field for over 11 years and training several local beginners. It is IMPOSSIBLE to learn this ENTIRE field in a month to 3 months... Period!!
That is why initially we required the 6 MONTHS waiting period before taking Cornerstone Appliance Training Certification to ensure that ANY student that received our Certification was Professional and a Very Competent Appliance Technician.
You and I talked about this and you had NO problem with it until lately. For the LAST TIME!! You will receive an email with your opportunity to take the Certification Exam. If you decide not to take it that's up to you.
We have provided EVERYTHING that you signed up for in November 2017... Period! Your and all the other students 6 month waiting period is May 2018.
So now you can see that his statement in his email is far different than what he says on his website.
he had no interest in hornoring this exam until i demanded a refund then he demaneds that i now take his exam, there was always a problem after he denied the exam on myt first request and he changed the rules, but yet he has no mention of this on his site. He also Stated in another email that the 6 month waiting period was on his web site as of today, it is no where to be found. I would highly recomend to stay away fromn this guy and his courses you may be the next to out of 800.00 dollars and only get videos and a service manule.
