Coursereport is dependent on coding bootcamps for its revenue (I will note they say this doesn't affect certain aspects of their site). I personally wouldn't judge ratings on coursereport as 1/5 stars. I would roughly estimate the average rating on the site and compare to that. The average review rating on that site appears to be higher than 4.4 stars. Always judge how management of a business responds to criticism across all review platforms. Always ask yourself if a company values customer/employee criticism and utilizes any criticism as an opportunity to improve. In my case I took a week or less of a course in August 2020. They waited until 2/22/24 to tell me that I owed them $24400. This issue specifically regards an ISA which I was told would be canceled per the withdrawal policy I still have within original documents from 2020. I have former Claim staff using terms like cancel/canceling in communication I still have record of. This ISA also has the line: "...in return for receiving the program or training provided by Claim Academy, (Course name)..." I will admit I haven't made an 'extrodinary' effort to prove my case here for various reasons. I was advised that there probably wouldn't be a serious attempt to collect on this debt and that I should do nothing (which appears to be the case as I have waited 5.5 business days for a debt collector to provide proof of the debt). However my main reason is that I feel it would be wrong for me to have potentially been liable for $24400 had I deleted some emails, thrown away an old phone, disposed of documents I could reasonably assume I did not need or lost my GPS information from 4 years ago. I feel it is wrong to ask me to prove this agreement is nullified like I have been asked to by both parties involved. I feel that doing so could be potentially enabling a practice I do not condone. I also feel it is beneficial for me to keep to myself a distinct timeline of my activity. Especially as I have not actually seen any evidence validating this debt and do not know if there is any "evidence" other than the original ISA. I cannot alledge that this was an intentional attempt to decieve me. I do assume it is possible to 'forget' to cancel a contract you said you would cancel. I do assume it is possible this business could just 'forget' that I didn't actually take this course (or the length of the course required for me to pay in full per withdrawal policy). The main two individuals I dealt with are no longer employed there. I believe MDHE regulations regarding certification for proprietary schools only require complete attendance records and such to be held for a minimum of 3 years. So there is 'some' possibility that they don't actually know what happened. However I would ask why they would cancel the ISA with Leif on 10/28/2020 if I had taken a 20 week course starting in August. I also find it odd for a MDHE approved school to forget if someone took a course or not. I find 2/22/24 an odd time to make the first mention whatsoever of this obligation and contract. I'm sure there are good people who actually value teaching working here, but I personally don't view this ownership/management as deserving of a dollar of my hard earned money. Honestly I feel sorry if I came off as rude in my communication with any Claim staff. In conclusion: if I had a chance to talk to early 2020 me, "don't deal with Claim Academy" would be up there with "buy Tesla stock". My phone is 314 750 2134, If someone has had a similar situation. *I may have to engage in legal action and do not wish to reveal any timeline. I also assume there will be a response to this review and will add more images after that.

Challenge Accomplished!…read more Claim Academy offers a unique opportunity supported by incredible staff! Claim Academy has condensed an advanced full stack Software Developer education into a 3-month curriculum. Claim Academy is the answer for breaking into the industry of Software Development. I studied the C#/.NET program and without hesitation I applaud the instructors for their knowledge on the subject matter and their overwhelming patience. Claim Academy structures the course to include hands-on lectures combined with labs which culminates in the Capstone project - a complete built from scratch web application that embodies all technologies learned in the previous 12 weeks of education. Claim Academy exposes its students to multiple employers. Throughout the program, Claim Academy facilitates relationships with various recruiting firms and companies. I highly recommend the Claim Academy experience!

This is an odd duck in terms of gift stores. Apparently there are a lot of architectural firms in…read morethe vicinity of this place that might create enough of a demand for a store like this. Surprisingly enough, there's a lot of cool things for sale, like an architectural history of St. Louis, as well as some diagrams and plans for new developments in the area. This feels like a functional gift shop, where information is sold, rather than trinkets. However, you can buy trinkets, but of a more sturdy quality. They have some really cool St. Louis snow globes available, and some architectural models for the more adventurous hobbyist. I would suggest this to Downtown visitors who are acclimating themselves to St. Louis. It's actually quite informative to glance at the architectural history of the area before venturing off into other parts of the city.

The AIA is the professional organization representing Architects. They have a very nicely designed…read morestorefront on Washington Avenue that functions both as their office and a bookstore / gift shop. They stock many books that would be of interest for architects or those interested in architecture. But they also carry a nice array of gifts and objects d'art related to architecture. As an example, they have some nice postcards, 3d building puzzles, models, paintings, etc. They tend to feature artwork done by local architects such as sculptures or photographs. Anyway, it is a nice little place to take out-of-towners if you are downtown - especially if looking for some St. Louis keepsakes that you can't find anywhere else in town. As a bonus, it gives you an excuse to walk around in the lobby of the Lammert Building, a restored gem of a turn-of-the-century office building downtown.

Kingdom House offers several opportunities for people to come volunteer, and I was able to help clean up the yards by raking, organize the inventory goods that were donated for the food pantry and bodega, and also chaperone some of the younger students during class and after school. The program I participated in was for service learning, essentially learning about social inequality that exists and persists in nearby communities, all while volunteering. I was not shocked, but still disappointed at the markers of segregation between neighborhoods, explicitly racial and socioeconomic in the divide (hello gentrification). What they do here is phenomenal and I wish to help more. Of course, I take this knowledge from this experience and will carry it back to whatever communities I end up in or already belong to, including in Los Angeles and in Vermont. The volunteers and educators that work here are all fabulous and deserve props for working towards improving the lives of others, through the power of education.

Whatever resources the people of a neighborhood could need or want, Kingdom House is sure to have those resources available! There's a food pantry here as well as a bodega to help alleviate financial stress for people of the community. The Kingdom House is also a great place for people looking for volunteer opportunities. I volunteered here with a few co-workers yesterday, and I was blown away by all of the ways that this organization helps people in our community! It's a great organization and I hope to help them again in the future!
