Art Institutes Fraud

Back to list
Long live Syd Andrade for blowing the whistle.

Most of the time spent in the class was the students teaching the teacher!! *ds!

They guaranteed him a job and then placed him in an $8/hr job at the local Office Depot!


Art Institute of Tampa graduate Sydney Andrade is preparing his claim package. He says he graduated owing more than $80,000

“If what was actually promised to be the education and what was promised to be my curriculum actually panned out the way they said it would, I would gladly pay for this,” says Andrade, who now lives in Austin, Texas.

Andrade accuses the school of lying about qualified instructors and industry-standard learning tools. He adds this forced him to teach himself much of what he knows through video game art and design YouTube videos. He also tells News Channel 8 the school didn’t deliver on an in-field job placement promise. Andrade claims the school helped him get an $8 per hour job making copies at Office Depot, which doesn’t require a college degree.
