I passed all the classes including the final test they told me they ll email me my job location and when I would start. 4 days passed I never got the email so I went up there to find out what s going on and they told me they ran out of space ( after I passed and they said they were going to give me a location) and I would have to pay $250 for a certificate to some were else as a lifeguard. Feel as though that was extremely unfair!!!
