Deceptive Trade Practices
On Feb. 4, 2015 I enrolled in a real estate training course package through 360 Training in the amount of $439.20. This package was advertised to include all of the courses required for a real estate license from the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). I was notified that I would have 90 days to complete all of the included courses. I logged in to the...
Read full review of 360Training.comDiscredited courses - won't refund
Took the Real Estate Core Education package for Texas and as I am finishing just learned the two most important classes, Principles 1 and 2 - THEY ARE NOT APPROVED COURSES. THE COURSES WERE DISCREDITED WITH TREC. I called TREC and they said, "Yes, those courses are NOT ACCEPTABLE for credit if you took them at 360training.com. Go take them from someone else." I have been on the phone twice a day every day for a week now trying to get 360training.com to fulfill their obligation of signing me up with a different provider so I can take the course for free - as their email promised - and I get the same polite blow off each time. "We are making you a ticket for this problem and will need 24 hours to resolve it."
I must say though that every person I talked to was very polite.
The email I received.
You recently completed a Principles I and II course with 360training.com. Unfortunately, those two courses are no longer being accepted for credit at TREC. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience and we are proactively taking steps to rectify the situation. You will shortly be receiving login information for the Principles I and II courses with a different provider. We have enrolled you in those two courses at no additional cost. You will need to go in to each course and complete a pre-test and a final exam for both courses (passing both with a 70% or better). Upon passing both exams you will be issued a valid certificate which can be presented to TREC for credit.
Please accept our sincere apologies for this issue. As a way of showing our regret for the inconvenience we would like to offer you a 15 hour MCE package to be used for your 2nd year renewal as a licensed agent in Texas. When you are ready to take the 15 hour MCE package simply call us at [protected] to enroll at no charge.
If you have any questions regarding your Principles I and II courses please feel free to call us at [protected].

Wrost company ever. I have only been with this company for a week. They first told me the payments would be 80.73 a month, then 157 a month, then 207 a month! I have tried calling 4 different numbers and they gave me one that was a previous employee from two years ago. I am trying to back out, but they sent a paper that said you can withdraw from the program on january 21, 2015. I received that paper in january 23, 2015. This company is terrible, customer service is extremely poor and rude. I signed no document that said I would be paying 207 a month. Not to mention I put down a 250 dollar down payment and that i'm a minor. If nothing is refund, we are getting a lawyer. They are a complete joke.
Course sux!
I take numerous online courses for classes and continuing education. I am now taking the 360 training course for real estate agent because I got a reduced price on the tuition. Be aware that every page you read is timed and you have to wait for the time clock to count down prior to advancing. I usually am sitting around waiting for minutes to hit the advance button. Also, there are tests at the end of each section and you have to pass the quiz before you can advance. The quizzes are lame and waste time. The material and website are poorly diagrammed and the same lame pictures are shown throughout every course section. Im so bored with 360 training that Im going to another online real estate course to continue my pre license requirements. Dont care what the cost is! I wish I would have researched 360 training before I would have wasted my time and money. You will be spending 60 hours on your computer doing pre licensing so make sure you choose a good course and not 360 training.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

The course in question is for training in hazardous waste operations. The course material is sloppily presented; the reader obviously has no experience with the material in the text. Quizzes are graded wrong, in contradiction to the texts. Credit for completion of a section is not retained from session to session. Photos accompanying texts often have no relation to the items being presented. There is no reliable way to contact these people, only tech support via an outside company who have little or no knowledge of the training itself. Phone calls and emails are not returned, period. This is a very bad company that has beat me out of $150.00.
Don't deliver what you pay for
I purchased an online course package from your website http://www.agentcampus.com/texas-real-estate-license/pre-license-courses/ and after purchasing I have been dealing with the people who service this, I suppose. Lamar Institute of Technology is listed on the website but 360training.com is who all comunication has come from.
On January 14, 2013 I purchased the "Ultimate Package" which shows in the ad to come with a color Nook. I verified with the sales rep, Brian and he said "Yes, this comes with the latest edition of the color Nook and will be delivered within 5 business days". On the 7th day when I had not received the package I called the customer service number. I spoke to Jonielle who advised me that the package did not come with a Nook and that I must download the PDF files to my own device. After arguing for 30 minutes she said she would look into it and get back to me. Later that evening I received an email stating that she was sorry for the mistake and my "Kindle Fire", which is a color tablet, would be overnighted to me. I received the package the next day only to open and find a black and white Nook.
I emailed Jonielle who spoke with a supervisor and said this was the only tablet offered and I could exchange it at Barnes and Noble and pay the difference for the color tablet ($120 plus tax). I then asked for my email to be forwarded to a supervisor and replied to within the day. 3 days later I received an email from Edan Hilili saying that he would have an answer for me the next afternoon. 2 days later he finally responded to me. He forwarded an email in which his supervisor Angie Shipe basically said, "the Nook is free in the package and there will be no refund for the price difference the customer had to pay to get the actual Nook that was advertised and sold to her." At that point I got online and got another sales person through virtual chat and asked if it was a color Nook that came with the package and was once again told yes. I made a screen shot of the chat for proof.
And last night I decided to go ahead and use the wrong Nook that they sent because I am simply out of time on this. The instruction sheet they sent tells me to "enter the code from the above box to access your ebook"... Guess what? The box is blank... NO CODE! I call customer support and the rep, Alfie, has no idea what I am talking about... He says that he will call me back in thirty minutes... Once again... It's been 18 hours and NO CALL BACK! I can't even access what I paid $549 for a month ago... At this point I am just going to spend another $500 with another company so I can get this done and don't lose my job. Speaking of which, my new position pays $500 per month more than my current one... So really I have spent/lost $1549 this month on this process.
I have wasted almost 4 weeks trying to get what I paid for and I am irrate at this point. Since I have wasted so much time, energy and money I do not mind wasting a little more to make sure that your companies do not falsely advertise and fraudulently sell this to any other people.
Training program
Terrible company to deal with...constent problems with there web based training programs. They say they provide 24 hour tech support but as I write this all I get is there voicemail.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I never received my card for the OSHA 30 course. I called to find out what happened and the guy in Manila, Philippines advised me that I would have to pay $20 for the replacement. I have not been able to get on the job since I don't have my card. I am losing money.
Hi Mr. Salerno,
In behalf of 360Training, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience.
The team takes each and every complaint seriously and would appreciate if I can get more details about your complaint so I can personally look into it.
If you can give me your complete name and your contact number, I would be more than happy to call you back. I would also like to get the details of the issue you had with our course, this will help me narrow down to the bottom of the issue and make things right. I will have our Content Development look into it as well.
I would like to offer a full refund for the inconvenience. You may email me at reden.martinez@360training.com
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

OVERSEAS FRAUDULENT company
BUYER BEWARE! Upon enrolling and successfully completing their OSHA 10 online course, I have yet to receive my required DOL card after waiting 8+ weeks! Unfortunately, when you call inquiring of the status of your card (required for my employment), I've been hung up on when I asked to speak to a supervisor. As a company with a business name of "Online Institute of America, " it is quite ironic that all their customer service reps are located in the PHILLIPINES! Before being hung up on again, I was told that my OSHA 10 DOL card "may take several more weeks before being printed." Interesting-- just two weeks ago, I was told by another rep that it had been sent out 4 weeks earlier! Thankfully, I paid using a CREDIT card, of which my account will be credited the full amount from this international waste of my time and resources.
Absolute Nightmare Dealing with This Company
What a nightmare! It took over a month to get credit for a course I passed online with 360training.com. While they were responsive to my support call initially, they quickly stopped responding all together. I had to get TREC involved to finally receive credit.
Today when I called and asked to speak to a supervisor, I was hung up on. I called back and asked the agent at least 10 times to speak to a supervisor, he would not allow me to do so, then he also hung up.
I noticed while taking the online course that content and test questions were DIRECTLY contradictory in a few cases. Puzzled that I got a question wrong, I went back to the content and found I answered according to the content. So, either the test questions had the wrong answer key or the content was wrong when presented. This is UNACCEPTABLE for a company that provides licensing courses and continuing education for licensees! I will never use them again. Spend a little more and take your classes with a reputable company.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have also had problems with the real estate pre-license course. The sessions time out, the "correct" answers contradict what is taught in the lessons. The help desk is incompetent and can't help. I wish I had read these reviews before signing up for this course. I've wasted a lot of time! This company should be shut down!
Worst Continuing Ed I have EVER used
360training.com provides the absolute worst continuing education I have EVER used and I highly discourage any and all real estate licensees who are considering paying for their courses. The interface is glitchy and slow, even with cable internet. Worst of all, the section quizzes require 100% pass rate (on very obscure subject matter) or you have to repeat the entire 20 to 30 minute section all over again...! After the third course I was taking with 360training.com became stuck in a perpetual loop and would not allow me to proceed, I finally gave up and found another provider. Save your money - use ANY service other than 360training.com when you need CE credits to renew your real estate license. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE - 120 plus hours to do 24 hours. I did all of the assessments and when i get to the end it says completed. Call to get my credits and they said the lessons each have a final of 68 questions and did i do the survey, i said no i skipped (which was an option) they said if I had done it it would've given me the final. They should be shut down. I could've gone to CE classes to do 24 hours and actually been done in 24 hours. Absolutely ridiculous. Not enough time to even tell you the rest of the problems! DO NOT BUY!
360training is the worst company in the world and run by the most evil and unprofessional man in Texas or Pakistan! Ed Sattar! HE IS A LIAR AND A THIEF! The content they sell is pasted together with glue and is incorrect information. I know I worked there for a long time and NO ONE should ever work there! Even if you are desperate, PLEASE WALK AWAY! They are being sued by everyone and OSHA hates them!
Dear Student,
First off, we’d like to apologize for this terrible experience and the frustration you experienced taking our online real estate class. 360training has trained over 300, 000 learners in the last year, and problems like yours represent a small minority of our students and every time there is a problem we take it very seriously, because we know in many cases, your livelihoods depend on it. This is why we have made a significant investment in support, with over 40 staff specifically tasked with fielding and solving customer problems via 24/7 phone and chat support. You may also visit our support web site at http://www.360trainingsupport.com
You are correct in pointing out that the pass rate requirement for this real estate course is 75% based on current accreditation standards and we have revised and republished 93% of our most commonly accessed courseware to meet this new standard (rather than the previous 100%). Unfortunately for you, you have accessed a class which had not yet been revised, but in a search of our records, we cannot identify which class this was.
If you would please get in touch with me directly, Paula Levy, I would be happy to refund the course purchase price. And with this information as to which course is affected, our production team can also change the course settings in short order to reflect the new 75% pass rate requirement.
Again, we apologize for this frustrating situation and hope we can help to fix it for you, and for any others who may encounter this issue. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Paula Levy

Online Training
Bad choice for online training. Product was exceptional in content but no way you can complete a 10 Hour Osha Course in 10 Hours. They require a mouse click every 4 to 60 seconds averaging which is crazy. You have to wait for the voice to finish before you can go the the next screen etc. It took me 15 hours to complete and lets assume I wasted 2 hours by not getting to the advance button soon enough. Just Bad stuff look elsewhere.
I wish I had seen the negative reviews about 360 before I applied to them. When I applied for 360, I had attended the taster class which was basically an introduction to the course and a little a bit about the IT industry. I applied for the job guarantee programme silver package in 2018. The information at the taster class was easy to understand and the teacher we had was quite good. They made a good impression. However, when I started my course and started my first proper module which was installing and configuring windows 10, things were quite different. I did the silver package were you don’t need to have experience in IT to do the course, so nobody in the class knew much about IT, except for the basics. When we got into class we had to understand binary, remember how to input coding into windows powershell, learn how to manipulate the amount of storage on the C, D and E drive such as increase and decrease the volume of each drive. We also had to learn how to perform certain tasks as an administrator on Windows 10 professional such as changing what people could or couldn’t do when using the system, such read only or reading and editing documents. Things like this takes months to learn and grasp properly at university level, we had to do all of this plus more in 4 weeks and then after practice and do exams for another 3 weeks. Each week we learnt something different in class but never had repeat classes so we could learn particular subjects properly and thoroughly. In that period we were given nearly 100 videos plus pages of online practical tests we were recommended to do.
I was working a full time job at the time and so did other people and simply had no time in the day to complete watching that many videos in 3 weeks. It was MAJOR information overload and COMPLETLY UNREALISTIC for beginners who had not IT background.
The taster class I was told to go to actually doesn’t show what the real classes are really like.The way the teachers teach this course, is more at the intermediate level then beginner, so the majority of the people didn’t understand what they were being taught, at least not fully. Not surprisingly a lot of people failed their exams which lead to a higher number of retakes. What made it worse was some of the subjects that came up on the exam, were not covered in the classroom such as VPN virtual private network (VPN), which lead to confusion and increased the likely hood of failing.
The revision classes are not good and did not give students much clarity and wasn’t much help.
After experiencing all this, I just left and didn’t come back. The courses are poorly executed, with teachers not being able to teach as the level the students are at, leading in higher failure rates. There is a lot of information to take in which leads to major information overload and you’re not given enough time to learn things properly. Instead you bombarded with lots of information to learn at the end of the four week course before exams start. The most effective way is to learn through repetition, not through learning one new subject per week and then on to the next one.
The truth is, 360 courses are not for beginners, this is a BIG LIE. In order to be comfortable on the course and pass exams you need to have some IT background.
There were students on this courses that did not know how to use a computer because they thought this was a course for beginners. This type of marketing is misleading, but this is what they were telling us and were marketing their courses as such.
DON’T WAST YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON 360. It’s not what it seems.
I agree with the complaints. Support does occur, but follow up is still bad! Chat help does not appear to be one-on-one. Interface for administrators monitoring multiple employees is poor
Completely agree with bill2101: Bad choice for online training. OSHA 30 hour course is mind-numbingly slow! You are forced to wait...and wait... and wait... for the timer to count down before you can advance to the next screen. Add to that the inconsistency in the study material vs. the quick quizzes and final chapter tests - in trying to validate the answer. they repeatedly cite sections that do not exist! I wonder when the last time they actually had someone proofread/stress test this course! I'm only 11 hours into this course, and wondering what other unpleasant things it has in store for me.
after spending 4 hours working on course i got up from computer. when i came back several hours later i was logged out and none of my progress was saved. called customer support and was told i should log out correctly next time if i want work to be saved. i have taken online courses before and never had that issue. furthermore i can read faster than they can. it is very annoying to have to keep clicking next. i feel that my 63 hour course is going to be taking me a lot longer than that so i will cut my losses and take this course elsewhere. only reason i chose them was because they were cheaper but in the long run not worth it. the $20 i saved will end up costing me to many hours of my life.
in short i do not recommend this company
I agree with the above. I hope someone reads this before they take the courses with 360. I finished my course and they have yet to report my completion to the state. AND NOW my license is about to expire; and no one will return my calls.
worst online training/continuing education hours course website ever. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME, AND USE SOMEONE ELSE.
I would highly suggest NOT using this site. I got through 28 hours of the training and was locked out and could not finish. I contacted the customer service department who said they would get back to me but to not worry that they would unlock the class since I was so close to completion. I didn't receive a reply and inquired about the status a couple of days later and was told my request had been denied and that I'd have to start the class over. I asked for a manager to contact me and was given information, sent an email, and received no reply. I've since contacted the BBB and am awaiting a reply. This situation is ridiculous and as a result I will find any medium possible to disuade people from using their training site.
Just took the OSHA 30 class online. Couldn't take the final for 70 minutes at the end because I didn't have enough hours watching the presentation over and over. Spent 70 min clicking forward back button till it let me take the final. Quite a few technical difficulties with their site. Material is generally poor quality with occasional incorrest quiz answers (just find out what answers they want and go on...). Go somewhere else if you can.
Terrible company!
The Production team at 360training has been superb in the past, full of bright, talented people with a passion for doing their jobs well. However, regardless of all of their best efforts, the e-learning courses coming out of 360training remain a very poor product due to management's incompetence and emphasis on fast, cheap products. No Director of...
