Depuy spine/AIMS

[Anonymous]

Has anyone with Depuy heard of this training program they are supposed to be doing with that AIMS place?
They are supposedly interviewing? But the class gets pushed back weekly and I wonder if it is legit or a scam?

[Anonymous]

Its very legit.

Its very legit.

Yes its a legitimate rip off. Save your money unless you have a signed contract with an employer prior to training.

Someone help me understand how AIMS fits in to Depuy's training & hiring process.

[Anonymous]

I have heard various stories from AIMS staff. It was supposed to start a week ago and now its being pushed back or may not happen. The interviews as promised never took place??? Bizarre

[Anonymous]

My guess is DePuy found out that AIMS is not licensed in Colorado and Tennessee and decided not to get involved.

[Anonymous]

do you companies have to be licensed to train?

Are you serious? That is some shit. What idiots thinking that a company like J & J is not going to check them out. How did they think they would get away with not being licensed?

[Anonymous]

also, how did you find out they were not licensed? Are you a student or depuy rep?

[Anonymous]

its funny how some people assume things, that just start rumors. If its on the internet it must be true!

Correct! Just cause AIMS has a depuy on their website people just assume its legit.......because the website says so dont make it so.

What does the contract AIMS and Depuy have together stipulate?

[Anonymous]

I have given a lot of thought before posting this message. I hope readers see this post as a professional analysis of the program.
Character matters. Jim Rogers is a scam artist and a man of low integrity. Ask his three, soon to be four, ex-wives. Jim has instructed his operatives to avoid answering the question of their placement rate. If the questioner presses the issue, they are instructed to lie about their placement rates.
A man of integrity would complete the proper state applications and bonding process to operate a school in accordance with state law. Jim Rogers has not complied with the state of Tennessee or Colorado.
He does not include the people who never got placed into a position and subsequently asked for a refund in his numbers. Jim Rogers is now telling prospective students that he has placed 85% of his students. THIS IS A LIE. I have this information from an employee of AIMS who of course must remain anonymous.
Jim does not have a working business model. He has chosen to keep the money flowing into his bank account rather than slow down the school while the recruiters caught up with the glut of students AIMS has produced.
Jim is very sensitive to the truth being told so look for him or one of his drones to reply to this serious post.
After students "graduate", they are led to a room to where they are interviewed on video tape. What do YOU think the students praying for a placement/job will say with this video gun held to their head?
Now, desperate AIMS students are pitted against each other in the few interviews the school does produce as Jim has implemented a policy of send two or more AIMS students to each interview.
I have had single mothers call me crying when they were several weeks graduated, down to their last $100 and had not had one interview. I will watch this message board and will try to ethically answer legitimate questions.
Jim Rogers is taking hopeful peoples money and is certainly not achieving an 85% sucess rate.

Here it goes again ... I'm sure this is the same guy that started all of these posts 6 months ago about how AIMS was a scam and didn't even exist. Has the nerve also to post it a hundred times on several threads..... Go get a job... You are full of @*^%$ and you know it.

What I can tell you is what is true because I happened to do my research unlike the post above. You are correct, they also have told me that they do not give placement numbers. You need to do your OWN research and decide if this is for you. I DID! I called several of the "placed students" which you can guess are very supportive of the process. I am sure that some people do not get placed. But after all, in this market if anyone is getting placed to me it is a big success. I also have received feedback from a student which was refunded their money that post, was still employed by a spine company because of the AIMS training.

As far as the many posts about be licensed, they are licensed in both Tennessee and Colorado as a corporation. I have contacted Theresa Warren in Tennessee and was informed that they have submitted the application when asked back in March. In addition, they posted all required paperwork including the bonds. If you go the the education website, you will see that it takes months to be approved through the process. I was told that AIMS has been given permission to continue on "good faith". Same is true with Colorado and Jim Parker. They have already posted the bonds as well. So again, the above poster is full of shit.

At this point prior to seeing the above poster talk crap about how this post was from AIMS, I will be glad to tell you who I am. I was referred to the class from a former student Elliot Jones who is now in Warsaw with 3 of his AIMS graduates working with Biomet. He informed me about the next Biomet Sports Medicine Program which is why I applied. He also informed me that the support from Biomet (huge ortho company) has been off the charts. In fact, I can tell you that Jim Rogers is their guest speaker at the Biomet National Sales Meeting in two weeks in Las Vegas. My guess is they don't invite scam artists.

They have a refund policy and yet not one person has ever claimed that they asked for a refund and didn't receive one. So they way I look at it, they have support from many employers, they have placed AIMS students with top companies and if you don't get placed they have a full refund policy. I don't call that a scam, I call that a great idea.

For those that didn't or have not been placed yet, I wish you the best. For all the negative people on here, you're just pissed that your not one of the 35+ people that were placed through AIMS.

And for people going after this guys personal life, seriously, do you not have anything better to do? Guess that is why you have time all day to post on here.

Finally, hats off to the following AIMS grads that have been placed in the field. I hope to follow you soon.

www.aimedsales - straight off the website ( I'm sure the next reply from the original post will follow about how AIMS has had a million students so the below stats suck, but as in sales, the best always succeed. So I guess, hats off again to the group below since you're the best :-) See you out their soon!

How is training going for your friend? I saw on the website that the depuy class has been pushed back again. Strange? How can your friend be training when they can't even get a date to START class?

Thanks AIMS staff!

[Anonymous]

Looks like the above poster was full of shit! Just checked AIMS site and still no start date for Depuy.

Guess your "friend" in training got had.

[Anonymous]

The Depuy Spine training that is about to start is not open to non-Depuy Spine employees. It is being held for new hires that are already with a Depuy distributor. The structure that have put together for Depuy is designed to help newer reps get through the learning curve much faster than if they were just training in the field.

The AIMS Depuy deal fell through and no big corporate deal materialized. Surprise surprise

The AIMS spin continues
