Hi there and welcome to my Tecademics review.One of my readers asked me to check out Tecademics. Honestly speaking, I heard of it back in 2016.
I never got down to doing a review though. I guess that this one slipped my radar. Now in 2019, I have noticed that things are not so active within the Tecademics camp. Is Tecademics a scam?

After having done my due diligence, I discovered a number of concerns that got my attention regarding Tecademics. I would like to share my findings with you so that you can decide for yourself, on what to do next.
Despite the rise of online scams, there are still legit ways to making money online.
NAME OF PRODUCT: Tecademics
FOUNDER: Chris Record
PRICE : From $100 up to $10,000
WHAT IS ABOUT : An institution focused on teaching you on how to become an online entrepreneur. They offer their course bot online, and have a physical school based in Arizona
OVERALL RATING:
WHO IS THE FOUNDER OF TECADEMICS?
Chris Record is the founder of Tecademics.It's interesting to see that Chris has a very unique way of promoting his business. That is via his own rap song.
The song gives you a hint as to what the Tecademics institution is going to teach you.It's all about eCommerce. I will get into the finer details soon enough. As for the video itself, I have some mixed feelings.
On the one hand the tune is catchy and he performs the song in line with the rappers we usually come to know of in today's time. On the other hand, there is a scene towards the end where he throws money in your face.
I found it not cool.Maybe you can check it out for yourself, and let me know what your thoughts are. You can watch the video below.
I learned that the official Tecademics headquarters is located in Scottsdale, and was founded on in 2016.The official Tecademics website does not offer any further information regarding Chris's profile or the companies progress.
Now let me show you what Tecademics is all about.
WHAT IS TECADEMICS ALL ABOUT?
Chris believes that with all the training courses, seminars and software products that are mushrooming, it can become overwhelming for the newbie to choose the correct platform(I agree). And to make it worse, they each have upsell, after upsell after upsell. (which I do not agree with entirely as not all courses have crazy upsells like this NR.1 recommendation).
Anyway this is where he had the idea to develop a course that will allow people to "learn and retain what they know."
He can up with a concept called ISD or Instructional Systems Design. The concept is to allow students to achieve mastery learning by starting off on a foundational layer and then as time goes on to add more 'complexities' (as he says). In simple terms, to build on your knowledge.
He plans to achieve this by sourcing PHD'S from universities and 'subject matter experts' to formulate a curriculum which will be taught to students on a physical school premises. This school is called Tecademics.
This internet marketing college is located in Arizona. I believe that they also offer online courses as well.
What exactly are you going to learn with these courses?
Remember I mentioned that rap song that Chris made? It was called the 'Shopify rap song.'
Chris was referring to the dropshipping business model.
What is dropshipping?
Basically, with dropshipping you can sell products via your online website, or commonly referred to as an ecommerce site, without having to worry about stocking the products.
You need to register with a dropshipper, who will fulfill the order on your behalf. In order words, they will ship the product to your customer directly from their warehouse. All you got to worry about, is to make sure that your customer is happy, handle product returns(if any), taxes and the marketing of your website.
They recommend that you use Shopify for your site, and you will be using paid traffic, namely FaceBook ads to market this site.
Chris also made mention of the affiliate marketing model in his video. This is a legit way to making money online. It's where you earn commissions by promoting other people's product via your website.
The difference is that, unlike dropshipping you do not have to worry about after sales customer service. You just bring the seller and buyer together. The seller pays you a commission for every successful transaction that takes place.
I make a passive income online using this business model. Learn more on how I accomplished it here.
Before I show you how much the courses costs, let me share with you the pros and cons of this product.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT TECADEMICS
I like the fact that there is a real owner that stands by his product. It makes a big difference to have a face and name that one can relate to. To me it opens the door to allow for mutual trusts and I would be more inclined to purchase the product.
The intention behind this business is to address a real concern. In one of Chris's videos he mentions that 'the school system fails us. They do not teach us how to make money but rather how to work for it.' I agree with this sentiment and understand fully the motive behind the Tecademics opportunity.
WHAT I DO NOT LIKE ABOUT TECADEMICS
The official Tecademics website does not offer enough information. Whilst the site does boast a professional look, there is not much information regarding the Tecademics courses or its prices. There is no basic about me page as well to learn more about Chris.
There are no real testimonials or proof to show that this system actually works. I even searched YouTube but could not finding anything concrete.
Their customer support is not good.In an effort to learn more on Tecademics, I decided to contact their customer support directly.I sent them an e-mail 2 days ago, and have yet to receive a reply.
Should I receive a reply, I will update this section of my review.
The company scores a 'F' rating with the BBB(Better Business Bureau).
In addition I found some Tecademics customer complaints.The most recent one is in March 2018.
HOW MUCH DOES TECADEMICS COSTS?
Since the site offered no course information and there was no feedback from their support team, it was hard for me to get the latest information on their products.
I managed to get some information though, just so that you can have an idea of what their charges are.
I understood that they have three courses namely,
- TEC(Tecademics Entrepreneurship Course)$100
- IMPACT Course -$2000
- MASTER TUITION- $10,000
The Master Tuition course features 120 hours of in person tuition, and you are also assigned personal mentor guidance. The course allows you access to streaming classes and are designed by PHD's
I guess I did expect this course to be high-ticketed.I mean the fact that they have a physical training area already means that their overheads will be high.As result, it becomes costly for you.
The big question is, do you really have to pay this much to start an online business?
Is Tecademics a scam?It's time to end this Tecademics review with my verdict.
IS TECADEMICS A SCAM? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH TO START AN ONLINE BUSINESS
There are a number of concerns that do stack up in Tecademics favour.
From my own personal experience, I have not had much success on every avenue as far Tecademics is concerned.
Botton line: I would not recommend Tecademics to anyone.
Did you know that you can start your very own online affiliate marketing business from as little as a cup of coffee a day?
The teaching platform that I am referring to, taught me how to build a solid passive income business. In fact they have a free membership(NO CREDIT CARD needed) option, that gives you access to,
- Their online entrepreneurship course(LEVEL ONE)
- An interactive community of like minded individuals(helping one another)
- 2 FREE WEBSITES
- One-on-one coaching(first 7 days)
- Top notch support for your business, and
- Loads more features
You can try out their free starter membership here.
Thanks so much for joining me on this Tecademics review.
I hope that it has helped you out.
If you have any further questions, just give me shout.
Wishing you everything of the best in your online adventures.
Kind Regards and Take Care
