I've been to this place before years ago and the woman running it was an absolute hag - I know that's pretty strong language, but she actually dared to drag me into her office for a 'private conference' about a personal conversation I had a friend that was *none* of her business - I had brought the friend along to encourage them to sign up for a few classes, you can bet they changed their mind after that little incident - and if I hadn't been close to finishing courses I'd spent a few thou on, I'd have walked out myself.
Fast forward several years, I'm back in town and looking for some classes, and I heard the previous woman has retired, so I think I'll try again - I mean, I did like their flexible hours and their easy to follow lessons - it's totally possible it was just a personality clash or that she was just a really terrible manager, right?
I wish. I remembered how pushy they were in person, so I sent them an email from an address I use when I'm pretty sure I'm going to get spam from signing up for something, and didn't give a real phone number. All I want is the pricing on a couple of individual courses. Two days later, I get a vague email back telling me they can't just tell me their prices, they have to "work out a personalized package" for me (ie they will push you like hell to take out student loans if you can't afford it on your own). I'm not interested in a business that won't give me answers without getting me in the door first, so I didn't bother answering - and a few days later I get my first spam email. Yup, they signed me up for a mailing list they never asked me if I wanted to be on. That right there earns them a one-star rating. Everything else is just rancid icing on the spam cake.
