Save your money. They are scammers.
Save your money. My experience with this academy was extremely disappointing and, honestly, concerning. The owner, Tim Nguyen, consistently came across as dishonest, dismissive, and arrogant in his interactions. In my experience, he made claims that did not align with what was actually being delivered, and when students raised legitimate concerns, responsibility was almost always shifted back onto them. One of the most troubling aspects was the tactics being encouraged inside the group, which appear to go directly against Google’s policies. For example, students were advised to pick up incoming Google Local Service/lead calls and hang up within a few seconds to avoid being charged, then call the customer back separately. Eventually, Google caught on to this behavior, and many students’ accounts were suspended, including mine. At that point, the guidance suddenly turned into blame rather than accountability. When students complained or shared that they were struggling—or that their accounts were being suspended—the response was often along the lines of “you must be doing something wrong because other students are making money.” This was demoralizing and dismissive, especially when many students were experiencing the same issues. I’ve personally seen numerous students in the group voice these concerns, and I have screenshots documenting the widespread frustration. For a program charging around $10,000, the actual educational value is very basic: forming an LLC, using tools like Housecall Pro, and setting up a Google Business Profile. None of this is advanced or proprietary, and most of it can be learned for free or at a much lower cost elsewhere. Overall, the program felt far more focused on revenue than on genuinely helping students succeed long term. If you’re serious about starting a cleaning business, I strongly recommend saving your money and finding a mentor or resource that is transparent, ethical, policy-compliant, and genuinely invested in your success.
