We came across Codingal through a Facebook advertisement and decided to book a Python course.
The student had already completed HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and some Python lessons on W3Schools. He was even creating basic web pages. He now wanted to learn Python more deeply to build dynamic websites and mobile apps. That’s when he saw the Codingal ad on Facebook.
Conversation with Codingal:
Codingal: Which course do you wish to join?
Student: Python, the one we saw in your ad.
Codingal: Okay. The total fee is ₹14,000 after discount. It will be deducted in two installments of ₹7,050 each. Here is the Grade 10 syllabus, which includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Basic Python (6 modules), and Advanced Python (6 modules).
Student: Okay, I received the syllabus. The payment was auto-deducted via GPay. The parents were satisfied that their child would now be learning online through Codingal, rather than going outside for classes.
Since it was May and June, it was the perfect time for the student to learn something new.
However, even after both installments were deducted, the parents started receiving repeated messages asking for more money to continue the classes. Initially, these were ignored. But eventually, after contacting Codingal's management, the parents were informed that there were no credits left in the student's account, and further payment was required to continue.
The parents explained everything to the management — about the course chosen, the payments made, and the confirmation from the Codingal team. Despite explaining the situation multiple times, the team kept insisting on paying more to continue.
To their shock, the parents also learned that Python classes hadn’t even started, even after two months had passed. This made them feel completely cheated and misled by Codingal.
Now, both time and money are lost, and Codingal is still demanding more payment.
