If you want peace of mind do not ever register your child with this college. They have the worst customer service the main focus is just making sales. I had the most horrible customer experience with the Chatsworth office false promises made and my financial wellbeing has been badly compromised due to their *********** staff.

I am writing to formally raise a serious complaint and demand the immediate resolution of a long-outstanding refund issue regarding my registration at Berea Technical College in September 2024. When I enrolled, I was informed that the course fee was R17 000, which I later discovered was an error on your side due to administrative incompetence. The correct course fee was R12 000. I was then told that a refund would be processed within 3 to 6 months,which is completely unacceptable, considering how swiftly payments are demanded from students when enrolling. Between September and December 2024, I made monthly payments of R1 250, and in January 2025, I paid a further R12 000. In February 2025, I was contacted and informed that I had been registered for the wrong course, again due to your team’s negligence. As a result, I overpaid by R5 000, and to date (October 2025) this amount has still not been refunded. I spoke to Tracey two weeks ago and was informed that my refund is with external auditors. I fail to understand what “external auditors” have to do with my refund money that rightfully belongs to me due to your institution’s repeated administrative failures. This reasoning appears to be nothing more than an excuse to delay repayment. This entire experience has been unprofessional, frustrating, and unacceptable, especially for an institution that prides itself on being reputable. The level of service I have received is disgraceful, and the continued delays now border on financial misconduct. If this issue is not fully resolved and the refund is processed by the first week of November 2025, I will be left with no choice but to: Escalate this matter publicly on social media and review platforms, Lodge a formal complaint with the Department of Higher Education and Training, I expect written confirmation of receipt of this email and a clear timeline for the refund within 3 business days.

ZERO STAR RATING !!!! Register with Berea Technical College for distance learning at your own risk. At first, the registration process seemed smooth, thanks only to Vimla Roopchand, who was helpful and professional. But from the moment I made payment, everything fell apart. The institution failed me completely. Despite being promised communication and support, I was left in the dark. I had to constantly chase for updates and assistance, while on my end I always responded promptly and fulfilled every requirement. Instead of proper guidance, I received excuses, silence, and empty promises. Even the most basic tasks, like accessing Moodle and receiving assignments, turned into a battle I had to fight on my own. When assignments were finally sent, they were already weeks late—completely missing the deadlines set out in their own official student calendar. There was no apology, no sincerity, and no accountability from the staff involved, particularly Alicia Harilal, the Senior Academic. This institution has shown incompetence, negligence, and a total lack of professionalism. They wasted my time, my money, and my energy. If this is how they treat their students at the very start of their journey, what more during the rest of the program? Absolutely disgraceful !!!!
