Fifteen Whistleblowers came to Channel 9 with claims that the Kaplan College in Charlotte misrepresented the classification students would receive after completing the one year dental assistant program that cost nearly $20,000. Students were repeatedly told by advisors at the Kaplan College Charlotte location that after they completed the course they would be classified as a Dental Assistant II; however, Kaplan College’s Charlotte location is not accredited to offer that classification.
