I currently attend Purdue Global University, which uses Castlebranch for its nursing programs. This is the worst company for clinical requirements. First, I had to use them for another program, and I uploaded my immunizations. I have uploaded the SAME requirements for this program, and they rejected them with NO explanation. I am also seeing a duplicate order for the exact same program (WTH). I called and waited 47 mins only for the individual to disconnect the call before I even had the chance to explain what was going on. I swear, I am going to suggest that the school use a different platform, maybe Complio!
THE WORST PROCESS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE…
THE WORST PROCESS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE! MAKING THE PROCESS FOR GETTING COMPLIANT SUPER DIFFICULT FOR NO REASON. THEY GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND WITH NO CLEAR EXPLANATIONS AND MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET ACCOMPLISHED WHATS NEEDED. I WISH ALL NURSING SCHOOLS WOULD STOP USING THEM.

Absolutely Horrible Compliance System
I have absolutely nothing good to say about CastleBranch. It's a service that nickel-and-dimes you left and right. Compliance items are bundeled so if one thing expires, you have to buy an entire package to renew it. I've got five drug tests ordered just because I needed to do different state background checks, for example. Compliance items aren't sorted in any rational order. CastleBranch doesn't communicate with my university, and both CastleBranch and my school have different definitions of "expired," which causes even more confusion since items will appear compliant, but they are actually expired. If your university uses CastleBranch, find a different program to enroll in. I have wasted hundreds of dollars on needless compliance items.
I have had to use this company for a…school
I have had to use this company for a few years for school. They are unprofessional, they frequently deny documents as not acceptable. When I call to ask questions regarding how it would be denied when it meets each component of their criteria, they brush it off and say it is an error, and will take 3-5 more days to rereview. They are pathetic. Their customer service representatives are not helpful. Today I spoke with Fritz, and supervisor Ivy. BEWARE!!!!!
Not approving appropriate lab results
I submitted results for my MMR titers several times, even had the labs redone, at my own expense, while this incompetent site kept rejecting the results, even after my doctor even put a notation on my results that I was in fact immune to MMR. Then, I was told there was a glitch in the system and I had to resubmit my documents. Even after that, they still did not approve my lab results and I was told to contact customer service. Whoever runs this site or looks at the documents needs to be fired. I have spent more time trying to submit all of my paperwork for this site for clinicals than I have actually spent working on the clinical site itself. If I could have given this website negative stars I would have.
If I could give negative stars I would
Castlebranch states that after submitting documents, it will take 3-5 business days to review and clear them. After submitting my documents 2 weeks ago, they still have not cleared them, and after calling customer service 3 times and getting placed on hold for over 30 minutes each time to get it figured out, I was told that I have to pay an additional $50 to get the order rushed on top of the $150 I previously paid to place an order. They're extremely slow and just want to eat your money. 10/10 would not recommend Castlebranch to anyone.
Horrible customer service
Horrible customer service, its been 3 months still waiting on my order. They keep.messing up the address or giving me wrong information/updates.
Negative Stars!
All of the negative reviews are not lying. Unfortunately I had to call customer service today because CB kept rejecting my abuse clearances stating that I was uploading the the wrong document (I was not...). Spoke to two different representatives who were completely clueless. The second one (Aiyesha-and she is from the US) had the nastiest attitude, condescending, weird behavior and ended up hanging up on me lol. They're completely incompetent and unprofessional. I'm not sure why colleges would trust doing business with CB let alone allow them to manage our personal data. Extremely disappointed!

I sent my documents to update and they do not help at all.
They just send emails over and over
They do not stop emailing you
They do not stop emailing you, even if you don’t need them. There’s no way to cancel their account. In other words if you’re a student at one point and have to go through them, they own you for life. And they will not stop harassing you via emails. There’s no way to delete the request even if you don’t need it. Best of luck to you.
If I could give 0 stars I would
If I could give 0 stars I would. I have to use them for school but I was actually called rude, ignorant, and hung up on for simply asking to merge my account with another account ....
I would give 1 star because it is not…
I would give 1 star because it is not possible a -3. I wonder what the "deal" betwen educational institutions and "this" company. Definitely something is rotten in there. The ratings and complaints are astronomical, yet the students get their lives ruined because of the INEFFICIENCY, IRRESPONSIBILITY, AND BLATANT INEFFECTIVENESS.
They suck
If I can give no stars I would this is the worst experience i have ever had with customer service. you will be on hold all day, just for a representative to tell you that you are in the wrong place. You will then get transferred to another representative who will do the same thing. I have sat on hold for a total of 5 hours today. Castle branch sucks and have zero customer experience help....
Absolutely diabolical experience
Absolutely diabolical experience, hold time up to two hours, and your information is outsourced to a foreign country.
rude,condescending
rude,condescending, and sarcastic staff. ignorant and needs to be better
