Roadmaster Students Have To Retest
Topic 32388 | Page 1
I came across this video on YouTube
https://youtu.be/5FofwioNJQk
He states that a former roadmasters student out of Bethlehem PA reached out to him to let him know that testers out of the school were busted prefilling out testing paperwork and those students have to be retested by a Penndot official.
These are screen grabs from the video
Roadmasters is another school I was looking at and in contact with that has been audited by Penndot and found to have fraudulently passed students. That makes 2 so far.
Wow, dang !!!!! What got you on that hunt anyway, Banks?
That's where Tom went to school... graduated in 2003, in Mt. Gilead Ohio, though.
We were JUST talking about this, dang. He's hunting for his certificate for one of the companies of interest. I've only got a digital copy.
What the heck, man. I'm glad I'm not 'young' in this day & age, sheesh!

Road Master always seemed to me to be the “Toad Master”, slippery, oily, shady AF. From the folks who work there to the whole set up, they were also 50 percent higher than my private school costs to the tune of about 4K more for essentially the same amount of instruction, and the recruiters were too hyperactive and pushy for my liking, like it was purely a numbers gig for them , not that any school isn’t about numbers but TM (toad master) more so.
Glad I dodged the bullet
When I called, they wouldn't give me a price over the phone. Major Red flag for me.

Yeah, no doubt.
In '03, they weren't 'that' bad ~ the WIOA grant paid for Tom's. Honestly, it was a HUGE help, getting RIF'd from a $70K job; which was a lot (more) back then.
It was that, or nursing. He got his STNA, actually..... but couldn't move forward; wasn't in his hemispheric brain composition. I'll leave it at that, LoL.
I'm following, though!
