I found this information on a website http://solidusin.wordpress.com/04/15/ccie-training-ccnp-security-ccna-ccsp-networking-cisco-partner-institute-acit-fraud/
Following is the details
"I had joined ACIT Mahim, Mumbai after I was assured of a job there and an accommodation arrangement. After my arrival there on March 13th the scene was entirely different. I was asked to pay the full fees which was earlier negotiated to be adjusted from salary. Fees for CCNA Security CCSP CCIE Security was negotiated for Rs.78000/-, Out of which I had paid Rs.5000/- from Delhi, prior to leaving for Mumbai. On March 14th when CCNA Security was scheduled to start, I was asked to pay the balance fees Rs.73000/-. Without paying that I could not attend the batch. I had no other choice since I had come for my objective to become CCIE.
It was negotiated with Nabeela and Yasmine that I shall pay 15000/- more in a couple of days and the balance 28000/- by March 28th. Nabeela (The Front Desk Exec cum counsellor) herself took me to the class after I paid Rs.30000/- on March 14th. On March 17th I paid another Rs.10000/- in morning to Uma (Frontdesk Exec), and Rs.5000/- in afternoon the same day. The institute do not have healthy practice of issuing payment receipts, formal documents i.e. Identity cards for the students, courses schedules etc.
By the completion of CCNA Security batch which finished on March 18th I learned that Mr. Shahid, the faculty was not at all competent. He does not have good knowledge. He neither has the ability to deliver a lecture which students can understand nor can he deliver the presentation for practical deployment. ACIT has no methodology and approach to the training. They did not ensure a systematic approach to conform whether the faculty has been teaching properly, whether the students are receiving quality training. I had also submitted my feedback to ACIT that there should be a disciplined approach of training, in house tests and checking by 3 different personnel i.e. faculty, examiner and checker. The students are not even issued any notes.
ACIT paid no heed to my positive feedback. They took no action on improving the training standards. So I conveyed my decision on not joining CCSP batch which was scheduled to start on March 21st, without measures of improvement. I was informed that the next batch would start only in May. All this time I had been repeatedly asking for the receipt of payments (Rs.50000/-) I had made. She had been hanging back by falsely assuring of issuing receipt today & tomorrow. I smelt a rat and finally I asked for payment receipt on March 24th. I conveyed them that I shall be discontinuing the training at ACIT and I asked for a refund. At this stage Nabeela said that the payment receipt is issued only after the full payment and that the payment can not be refunded.
This was surprising that ACIT has their unlawful rules. The amount which had been paid did not deserve a payment receipt. This was clearly a sign of their intentions of cheating on my hard-earned money. At this juncture I had to raise a voice. After some argument, she prepared a payment receipt on letter-head. I asked for another declaration that i had attended CCNA Security batch and discontinued further training which I was denied again. The matter became serious and Mr. Rohit’s father intervened and deceitfully took receipt from me and handed it over to Yasmine whcih she tore off. He told me of issuing a fresh payment receipt and declaration next day.
I went to the lab and discussed the same with some other students.By then Yasmine came to the lab and asked me to leave the lab since I had quit ACIT. I again asked for the payment receipt which she had torn off. An argument started and then I was called by Rohit’s father. He started threatening me. I had been pleading join-handedly that I am poor guy, asked him to be kind on me and refund for my money. The cruel man had no pity on me. Yasmine started raising false charges of woman harassment on me. The goons took me to the frontdesk area and trapped me their by closing the main door from inside. Yasmine Neha, Nabeela, Rohit and his father all were there. Yasmine had been shouting in fit of rage, saying, “he insulted me. He tried to come closer to me. I shall give him another slap. I shall break this bottle over his head… blah … blah”. Their body language, gestures and talking was as if they are all set to beat me up
I had no person in my support. The most frightening was the false allegation of woman harassment. I had to defend myself and to take a safe exit first. So I did not respond to Yasmine and all those folks. An attack as such on my dignity was so shocking which nobody would expect from any gentleman, business organization especially from an educational institute.
At last, Rohit’s father took me to his cabin and asked me to leave immediately, vacate the accommodation and go without the refund of my payment. I pleaded once again but the goon was not at all moved. I left the place and I was on road with my luggage. I lost all the money I had saved from my previous job income, only for my further education. I was shattered.
Now I want to do something for sure to get my refund and to ensure that no other student becomes victim to the ACIT goons…. I am all set and determined to teach these folks a lesson for life. I shall neither be at peace nor would I show my face to the divine world unless ACIT gets the punishment they deserve or else they must correct themselves."
