It is NOT worth what is paid

I have started studying a master in this center. They sell you the course as something very practical that will help you find work in the chosen field. I am currently finishing my first module and I am quite disappointed. I arrived eager to learn and practice. The first two or three weeks were very good. Everyone was very cordial and friendly, and the teacher was very motivated. All that changed to the third week after they sent us a survey to give our opinion about the course, the teacher and the school. This teacher is very unmotivated and does not follow his own curriculum. We are a week away from finishing the course and we have not given all the material that is requested to carry out the project, and many classes are based on comparing other web pages with theirs or criticizing people who are dedicated to creating websites. They have also put me a lot of problems in the secretariat. If you are going to enroll in this school, since it is cheaper than many others, keep in mind that if you do not ask for the labor guarantee, they will NOT inform you about it. And if you sign it, you have to do it before you start the classes. Many people did not know that and they have lost it. Also if you are subject to the labor guarantee you have a number of days left, if you spend that day even if you have proof you lose the labor guarantee. I want to think that things will improve with the next module and that there will be other more professional and dedicated teachers. At the moment this is my opinion. If you are thinking about enrolling in CEI, review all the clauses before paying. They will not refund your money under any circumstances.

A recent drop out

1. Kindly note, it is a registered private school only, but the degrees are school-issued, not officially recognized Swiss university degrees. They are relying on the entry-tier US accreditor ACBSP itself, which is well below AACSB/EQUIS/AMBA/HEdA accreditation. So please do not be confused thinking it is a proper Swiss university. 2. Actually the school is more like a small company only, having less than 5 staff members on site. And one thing I must tell, before enrollment they are very friendly, but after joining the friendliness is finishing. 3. In the classes there are hardly 5 students at master's and bachelor's level, and many times nobody is even coming to the campus. On top of that, the teachers/staffs seemed to get fired in the middle of the semester itself. 4. One more important thing , the grades are coming from the the founder or staffs directly, very subjective and no transparency at all. The professors are not even having the right to decide the final grade!! How can this be acceptable, I am asking? 5. Now they have started selling online courses also. So I will not be surprised if one fine day they are closing the campus fully and doing only online business.

Terrible management. Decided not to go.

To anyone who is about to consider going to Polimoda, don’t. I was due to go there to pursue my Master’s in October 2020. However, it got postponed due to Covid, and I am glad it did. I realized that the management had withheld information from me about the course requirements. Plus, they had also started giving out 50% scholarships to those who were applying much later than I did, for the same course year. Besides withholding information and behaving erratically about money, the school’s management stopped responding to my concerns. I sent a request seeking to withdraw my admission and was met with no response. I reached out to the Italian Consulate to assist me, and upon their questioning, the management stated that they had always been in touch with me. They are unprofessional, unethical, and raise serious questions about the quality (and legitimacy) of the school.
