An I leave less than 1 Star? Worst company ever. My CEO shows up for his scheduled test and they tell him it was canceled (wasting 3 hours of travel time to get there). No phone call no nothing. Didn't even tell him how to reschedule. Cut to us emailing PSI twice in three weeks with no response. Finally got an 800 number to call and was on hold for 2 HOURS before they kindly just hung up on me. Unbelievable and now have no choice but to try again. Better believe they'll be getting a bill from us for all the wasted time.
Waited on hold for over an hour to not have my issue resolved. Lady on phone seemed very confused and under qualified.
Like all the other reviews here, I was on hold for 1hr and 30mins and then gave up. Next day, tried for 60minutes, nothing. Sent an email 10 days ago and ZERO response. Sent another one, zero response. We are all trying to progress with our careers and we cant because this company is extremely unprofessional. Then sign up online? I cant, it told me I had to contact Psi directly. This company is beyond a joke.
If someone starts a petition for change I would gladly sign it.
Need help with these people because I can't get a hold of anyone I send an email with no reply. Multiple emails were sent to their department
Hope you never have to deal with PSI for any type of testing. Had a problem signing up for a contractor exam. When trying to sign up kept receiving a server error. Website is useless as far as contact information and even if you do manage to find where they have hidden it, don't expect a response. By far the worst experience I have ever had trying to work with a company. I guess since they know they are the only path in some cases customer service is of no priority. If the state officials who mandate the use of this service had to deal with what the candidates do they would be off the job tomorrow. I wish there was a class action lawsuit I could sign on to because I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Sadly Ive had to deal with this company multiple times for licensing in alabama and georgia. This has been the worst experience by far. They canceled my test due to covid which I understand but never notified me when testing centers would be back opened and I could reschedule. Tried for weeks to get through with no answer. After calling back to back for several hours I finally got through for them to tell me my application expired and I have to pay again. When I asked why I wasn't informed of new schedule date she replied with "how do we know you will read your emails or answer the phone if we call?" To which I replied how am I supposed to know when you will resume testing? She replied "we don't know, were in the middle of a pandemic!" When I asked to speak to her superior she informed me that she has no superiors and neither does Donald trump and hung up on me. Can't make this stuff up. Contacted georgia secretary of state to see what can be done. But probably nothing. PSI stole my money and trolled me!
It is frustrating and sad to be a nurse who is trying to take a test to achieve a certification which will allow me to treat patients better and get this type of treatment. Horrible customer service. Lack of professionalism and empathy. I called multiple times just to be able to schedule my exam. Was on hold for at least an hour every time. Never got an apology from anybody and was treated like I owe them something. I "got disconnected" twice after an hour hold. When I called the third time, I asked to speak to the supervisor. Spoke to Amanda. Explained to Amanda the lack of professionalism and empathy from her staff. The answer I received was: "ok, how can I help you". Never received an apology for the way I was treated and was again talked down to. When I asked Amanda to talk to her superior she said she stated " I am the supervisor and there is nobody higher than me".
I had such a hard time scheduling my exam, their website is extremely hard to navigate. I actually wasn't able to do it, and I'm not a stranger to technology either. So I emailed them and got an automatic response telling me I would get a real reply within 24 hours. 15 days later and I have still received no response. Disappointed is actually an understatement.
I took the SC commercial AC exam for the second time. I failed again because of the material given on the test is nowhere close to the material you study in your text books. I have studied many hours and know the material even took a class to pass this test and still the questions on a test are nothing close to what you review in your textbook. They do this so you will take the test over and over to make money it is so obvious to see. I will contact the licensing board and explain my case. I see others have the same problem.
Oh where to start. I passed my PA Insurance exam over a month ago. I took the test with an online proctor, everything was good I passed the proctor congratulated me and said my results would be sent immediately. They weren't so I gave it a day before I called. They put me on hold for 2 hours and then hang up because "the phone lines are too busy" WHY MAKE SOMEONE WAIT JUST TO BE DISCONNECTED! And because I'm stubborn I keep calling and emailing. After about 15 attempted phone calls and several customer service emails sent, I finally get a call back from a woman who had absolutely no clue what she was doing. She said she didn't have access, which I understand, and she said she would send it to a different department and I would have it by the end of the day. Great, perfect but that didn't happen. I still call and email hoping that there is something they can do. It's been over a month, they clearly don't care about anyone's needs. I NEED this license for my job, and I'm making way less now than I would if I had a license.
Their on-site test failed and couldn't take it on scheduled date, then they rescheduled me for an online test which also technical difficulties. I spent countless of hours getting a resolution, then they said they would get back to me in 3-5 business days, no word from them so called again, the answer was that they would get back to me in 3-5 business days, it's been 2 week and I still having issues with reschedule when it was their fault that I couldn't take my test. On top of that, they charged me twice and they said they don't give refunds. This company is such a rip off and have very bad customer service.
This is actually the most ridiculous review I've ever had to write. It feels unreal. This company cost my boyfriend his brand new career. Their online testing doesn't work and he's been calling and emailing for WEEKS trying to A: get a refund because they took his money, and B: try to schedule the test in person so he can start his job. He has to pass his tests by a certain date and with PSI ignoring every call and email, it doesn't look like that's going to happen. It's a shame insurance companies are even bothering using this program. It's a joke! ZERO customer service. I seriously wonder if there is anyone even in office to check emails or answer the phones. Disappointed, angry, and upset aren't even good enough words to describe how I feel. This has really taken a toll on us financially, especially during the pandemic.
This is by far the worst online testing platform I have ever used. I spent over 4 hours the day of my test trying to get things ready and the app wouldn't work and their customer services teams fix was to uninstall and reinstall it, which didn't work. I ended up having to reschedule my test for a different day but when I go to reschedule it on the website it takes 10 min (not kidding) for it to go the next page for me to fill out then when I get to the end it asks me to log in then restarts the whole thing and i have to start over. Not sure what the issue is but I have still been unsuccessful in reshedualling my exam. Doesn't get any worse than this. Stay away!
I hate that this place is my only option to take my exam. I scheduled to take my life producer online since covid is an issue and when I went to log in the exam wasn't generating. You can't get a hold of anyone on customer service, I've been on hold with their number for more than 3 hours at this point without getting through to anyone. I drove down to the actual store to see if they could help me in person and they said they couldn't help me there. I can't even reschedule my exam online since I have a record in place, so I'm not sure what to do. Why is this so incredibly difficult? I just want to pay a fee, take a test, and move on with my life.
I usually don't write reviews but I have a better chance of winning the lottery, a much much much much much much better chance that I do of getting a hold to someone at PSI or getting someone to respond to my multiple emails. They are a true JOKE, JOKE, JOKE. BEEN ON HOLD FOREVER, multiple times trying to get an answer on my scheduled test as I do not see it schedule anymore. Already had to reschedule it twice due to testing centers being closed at the last minute due to COVID. Wasn't told until the last minute that the testing centers were not going to be giving the test after I had prepared for hours. Keep getting told on there automated telephone service that if you email them you will be emailed back in 24 hours which is truly a lie. I emailed them numerous times with no response. I am starting to wonder if anyone works here.
The worst customer service I ever had. Exam paused in every 2 min. Every time disconnected the Proctor asked me to show ID and video footage around the desk and room. I been doing this for 3 hours. 2am-5am EST. They have very low quality exam software. Not sure why NY agencies using them without proper verification. I have lost money, time and I am not going to take any more PSI exam.
The people at this company are a bunch of clowns. I go take an exam, technical difficulties, can't take it. I schedule to take an exam online, I log on, connectivity error, can't take it. Customer service don't know anything. Still haven't gotten my fees back. This company is a joke and should be shut down before they do any more damage to society.
I have called 12 times. They never respond not ever. I have emailed 6 times not reply. I have to use them for my test but they need to release the hold. I will pay them again but nobody replies. They are absolutely terrible. I can see their corporate folks on the web site and if I could email them I would. They deserve zero stars.
My youngest daughter took the nursing TEAS test at one of the testing centers in Tampa. Halfway through her exam the computer froze up. They told her she would have to come back and take it again. The problem is you have to wait 30 days before you can take the test again. It wasn't her fault that they had technical issues. After numerous calls they allowed her to take the test again. She had to drive again to the test center and take off another day from work all because of their problem. My other daughter is now taking a Genetic Counselor board exam online. 40 minutes into the exam it froze and said call technical support. She was on hold so I called and they said they would call her. They did not call so I called again. This time they called her with me on the line and got her back and running. It is a 4 hr exam so hope it doesn't freeze up again! 3 other of her classmates had technical issues in the middle of the exam also. Board exams are already stressful then to have the test freeze up is not acceptable, especially when the exam is so expensive.
Answer: May take over 1 1/2 hours on hold with zero contact
Answer: Complete and total scam! Run for your life do not use this company under any circumstances you will not get your certificate or license or whatever you're coming here for! They've taken my money twice and I still have nothing to show for it they've lost my test, a digital test that was watched by video for 2 hours by someone. Please tell me how that happens, now I'm at risk of losing my job because I can't get my license. This place literally is about to ruin my life. Go anywhere but here.
Answer: Impossible. They don't care, let alone bother responding. Crooks
