Refocus Digital Academy — “Making Human Workers Great Again”? Really?Refocus claims:“Refocus helps people around the globe learn new skills from scratch and land their first job in IT. With the emergence of AI, our mission is to make human workers great again. We give people a chance to master a new profession. We help them Refocus.”-Sounds inspiring, right? Too bad the reality is the complete opposite.I enrolled in Refocus Digital Academy, and it turned out to be a fraudulent online academy taking advantage of Filipinos who want to grow in the Data Analyst career. They slowly reduced mentor sessions, then completely shut down the student help center in 2022. And despite suspending operations, we’re still paying our tuition through BillEase -I’m still paying mine up to this year, 2025. That’s two long years of debt for a course that never delivered.They promised mentorship and job support, but none of it happened. Refund requests were ignored. According to Tech in Asia, Refocus already suspended its PH operations after numerous complaints -yet students are still being charged every month.If this is what they call “helping people Refocus,” then congratulations -they’ve successfully refocused our wallets into never-ending payments for nothing.
I appreciate that Refocus teaches you the fundamentals of being a data analyst. In addition to teaching you the fundamentals and hands-on activities to advance your skills, they also increase your chances of finding a new career.
I just started this month my study of data analytics with them. So far our learning platform is clear and concise and we have ample amount of time and practice sets before major projects.
Wonderful customer support team. Community managers are keen to asnwer questions of students. High quality videos, other learning materials are provided below the video through google drive. Excellent feedback on homeworks.
I have 2 friends who personally enrolled in Refocus and were able to demand a higher salary in 3 and 4 months with the certifications. I'm really happy that such a company like this exist in Philippines as we have a lot of professionals, board passers, and sometimes even have masters, who doesn't earn what they deserve because of the traditional mindsets.
