Re Cornerstone College
Hi I've been battling since last year to register with Cornerstone their advisors does not respond to emails and never calls back, now I eventually got a acceptance letter but still u battle with advisors to assist. I eventually got a advisor khumo who gets back to but when u referred to the bursary and text book department it remains a challenge

TERRIBLE (NON-EXSISTENT) CUSTOMER SERVICE
As a new applicant, I am appalled by the extreme unprofessionalism and lack of service from this institution. Since I have app****, no one has bothered to provide feedback nor respond to requests for feedback. Calling the institution directly is complete HELL. As a new prospect, I am even losing the motivation to study here as it seems it's just a mess. Especially for such a pricey institution.

Cornerstone institute? It’s not worth it!
From lecturers not replying to emails and not getting results in time. Even requesting a simple transcript takes days.Mind you, the fees are expensive. Definitely not getting your moneys worth. Save your money and go to Stadio or Two Oceans.

The absolute worst institution I have ever come across.
The absolute worst institution I have ever come across. I cannot believe the absolute neglect of students and lack of feedback from the institution. Cornerstone should be paying us to study with them, not the other way around! Absolutely pathetic. There is no support, fees are ridiculous and there is complete lack of communication. After being told I can graduate (all modules were completed for my PGCE), I was informed that the syllabus had changed and that new registration fees as well as a new module needed to be completed before I could graduate. After trying to contact them for over 6 months, no feedback was received. Only once the legal route was taken, did they provide me with feedback. Why do we have to pay additional money just to get attorneys involved to receive feedback? I cannot believe this, I am utterly disgusted. Completely unprofessional and couldn’t care less about their students. DON’T INVEST IN YOUR STUDIES HERE. It is a waste of time, money and all you will do is get frustrated to no end. Please don’t do it to yourself.

Poor overall service from Cornerstone Institute
Firstly, you pay the same amount per month for online studying as you do for in-class studying and yet the online students receive very little feedback and attention. Our first experience, was terrible and Cornerstone kept getting the registration incorrect, thereby delaying my daughters starting date, putting her behind from the start and they are awful at corresponding and you keep going to a "Help Desk" which takes forever to respond and if your problem is not attended to, you can never liaise or communicate with one person, it keeps changing and they send you messages to say the problem is resolved when it is not. You have to keep repeating yourself. During registration, they told me that I must expect delays as they are busy...... Really? Your job is to register students, and because they were "busy" it put my daughter on the backfoot from the beginning and no extensions were granted . After registering and starting with the studies, I have found now that my daughter goes through so many issues with some of the lecturers. In the one subject, the lecturer is just not involved at all and this is going to be one of her majors. Assignments were submitted in mid-February and it is now almost mid-April with absolutely no response or marking by this lecturer. It is very concerning and I loved studying when I was at university, but my fear is that the whole Cornerstone experience could put my daughter off studying and all because of Cornerstone Institutes poor administration, poor correspondence and poor lecturers. We know of other students who attend Cornerstone and there experiences are not much different to ours above.

Cornerstone is the worst
Communication is the worst of any tertiary institute I have attended, students are not creditd for modules they have done in their previous degrees, it is grossly overpriced and some lecturers are clearly not qualified to teach their modules. The least you expect when paying so much is that the lecturers are coherent, it savvy, responsive and organised. Students who complain are told to stop complaining instead of having their queries attended to.
