Are you kidding me??? I can't believe they are stalking you. Its all true. They present themselves like they are a College when they are NOT! I have heard too many people tell me how they are going to TCN. Knowedge is power get the facts! They hate that people are figuring the whole overpriced module thing out. I will for as long as I have breath in my mouth tell people that TCN is a waste of good hard earned money and to go through Excelsior College directly.I guess business is bad and they have nothing else to do but harrass people. We are not slandering their name,we are just telling the truth. And we all know the saying "The truth shall set you free."

According to the movie Wilde, this is how Oscar Wilde was caught- he went to court to challenge an accusation that he was gay, lost because he was gay, and then went to jail for being gay. If TCN tries to cause trouble over what everyone is saying, they're just going to get themselves in trouble.

I went to one of their "informational" meetings years back-just wanted to find out what they wer all about. What a high-pressure sell! I remember a form that they handed out///ifyou were not careful, you would have financed the entire program at a high interest rate. When I said that I really was not prepared to start the program on the spot, the rep got very huffy, and persistent Lucky for me, I walked out...

Thank you very much for the valuable information. Yet another reason to warn others to avoid these money leeches like the plague.

I've received advertising info but I'm more inclined to believe that they were using the mailing list provided by my state Board.

Oh, did I say that....TCN are you going to call me next?????
I make certain that when I discuss distance learning opportunities with others that I make certain that they are aware to stay away from TCN. I consider it to be a professional service to prevent others from getting fleeced.

Oh you bet I did! He didn't say much in return but that might be because I kept talking over him and telling him off. He called with the premise that they just wanted to see if there was anything they could help with. Whatever. I was mostly going off on how they connected my name with my posts. He kept saying I must have posted my name or email address on the board. Um, yeah, I was stupid enough to use them but that doesn't automatically mean I am stupid enough to post my name on the internet. He never did come clean on how they got my name from my posts.
