While I was attending Excelsior they came to the school where I worked and were speaking to the Paramedic instructor trying to get her to sign up. I listened to the pitch and asked some questions like I was interested. The guy actually told me they were affiliated with Excelsior. Then I told him that I was attending Excelsior and was almost finished with the program. He got up and left. They are just a publishing company selling study guides. You will have to pay them and still pay excelsior for admission to the college and the exams.

This company has misrepresented themselves for years. Stay away is my advice.

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

Just as an FYI, if you have the name of TCN representatives blatantly telling falsehoods that Excelsior is affiliated with them, Excelsior wants to know so they can follow up and correct the misinformation ASAP.

Supposedly the reps are not direct commission based (i.e. the more you spend the more commission they make) but its more of a number of contracts signed...though required to tell the truth on whether they are directly or indirectly commisioned by law in my state the rep when asked never did give a direct answer but it was an interesting song and dance.
