Dear Sirs:
I presently attend a technical training center in Arlington, VA in the completion of my Microsoft Certified System Engineer(MCSE). I signed a one year contract that entitled me to any and all courses offered by this institution. However, courses that were created after i signed, have been restricted. My contract is very vague. It only say "all courses offered by *** begining with the date of your first class. Also, because my school generates most of their profit from corporate accounts, I am not allowed participate on whether a scheduled class "runs" or not. If the minimum students required is 5, and they have 4, I cannot be counted into the total because I paid one fee (according to them). In addition, the first 4 courses were taught by an instructor that was fired for performance. This initial contact with IT took me several months to recover from knowing useless information verses knowing what was required on the exams and "real world" experiences. At least 3 months during 2000-2001 no classes were run that fit my curriculum, and since i could not initiate courses, i had to wait until a corporate accout wanted the same courses. I have asked the Director for an extention of my contract, but he refused--offering me the course i was not "permitted" to take before as a offering. I paid a premium price for this contract because it is a CTEC--a Microsoft certified school. Do I have an issue with breach of contract with not being allowed to attend new courses, when no such distinction exists in the contract? And or is it also a breach when you have been promised that the school functions in a manner that beneficial to you, but infact, it is not? Are verbal promisses made regarding the contract by staff binding within such a vague contract?
Thank you for any advice you can offer.
