In recent years, with the rise of audiobooks and short videos, recording audiobooks and dubbing have also attracted the attention of the public. Some training institutions have seen the business opportunities and vigorously carried out relevant training.
However, some of these training institutions are profit-seeking, with excessive marketing, false propaganda, and inducing consumption, which seriously infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
In the first half of last year, the State Administration for Market Regulation inspected this phenomenon, and many well-known training institutions were severely punished for false propaganda, fictitious original prices, and false discounts.
What are the "pits" of such training institutions?
How to regulate?
With these questions in mind, a reporter from the "Rules of Law Daily" recently conducted an in-depth investigation.
100% employment
Change your face after paying tuition
"Tonight from 7:00 to 9:00, Mr. Lu is specially invited to give lectures. She is a TV host and a provincial Mandarin tester. She graduated from the Broadcasting Department of Communication University of China, and then studied in the dubbing class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. The Most Popular Award in the Anime Festival Voice Actor Contest..."
On January 26 this year, the reporter experienced a free high-quality audiobook dubbing course of an educational institution on the Internet.
Before the class, the teaching assistant sent the information of the lecturer and the link to the lecture, emphasizing that this is an exclusive link, and there is no playback if it is missed.
In fact, after the reporter forwarded the "exclusive link", other people can log in to watch it normally.
At the beginning of the course, Mr. Lu did not introduce professional knowledge, but described the bright prospects of the dubbing industry: "Audio books, short videos, wedding hosting, etc., there is a huge shortage of practitioners in this industry, as long as you can receive orders, you can If you can earn money, we have cooperated with more than 180 part-time and sideline business order platforms, and you can achieve 100% employment by choosing the courses of our institution.”
After that, Mr. Lu skillfully changed various tones and voice lines, and performed dubbing demonstrations for the students.
After talking about the tips on how to speak for more than ten minutes, he began to show the case of successful students - "This student took advantage of the holiday to take orders at home, and he earned more than 5,000 yuan in half a month, and he couldn't take the orders." Senior Sister spends her spare time studying and taking orders, and now earns more than 10,000 yuan a month..."
At the end of the course, Mr. Lu reminded that only by signing up now can you enjoy the exclusive price of Mr. Lu's employment class, and a premium class worth 7,320 yuan; the original price of the studio class is 7,660 yuan, and the exclusive price is 4,580 yuan, and the original price of the advanced class is 8,160 yuan. The price is 4,980 yuan, and the original price of the all-around class is 10,840 yuan. The exclusive price is 5,580 yuan. It can be completed in 3 months. Only the first 15 people who contact customer service.
Of the 90-minute live class, more than 50 minutes were used to attract students to purchase the course with various "speaking skills".
Not only that, the reporter also watched the live classes of 3 different training institutions at the same time that night, and found that except for the different PPT pictures, the content and process of the lectures were almost identical, and even the examples of successful students at the end were exactly the same.
On the relevant complaint platform, the reporter saw that many consumers complained that after spending high training fees, many live classes on the original schedule were reduced to recorded classes, and in the few live classes , the students could not interact with the teacher Lianmai, and the promised one-to-one teaching was not fulfilled.
The teacher will only leave some tongue twisters and Mandarin pronunciation training after class, and the feedback on the training situation of the students is very delayed.
The reporter's investigation found that teachers in some training institutions were suspected of being "overpacked". The institutions advertised that these teachers were "CCTV dubbing engineers", but in fact they only dubbed a few advertisements on an app; some teachers were advertised as having received The most popular award in a certain seiyuu competition, but the reporter did not find any person who went through the list of winners.
An industry insider told reporters that many "gold medal teachers" in training institutions are actually just undergraduates majoring in broadcasting and hosting. Exactly the same situation.
Not only teachers and teaching problems, but also the problem of false publicity in terms of tuition fees.
In online advertisements, you can often see the promotion of 0 yuan and 1 yuan for basic dubbing.
The reporter randomly clicked on one of the advertisement links. After filling in the personal information, a teacher added the reporter's social account and sent the learning materials.
After the reporter opened it, he found that it was a 45-minute trial class.
The staff of the agency told reporters that it takes 3 to 6 months to complete the whole course, and the tuition fee ranges from 7,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.
"Didn't the advertisement say that you can learn with 0 yuan?" the reporter asked.
The other party replied: 0 yuan admission is not free, but installment loan services can be provided here, and the tuition fee can be paid in installments of up to 18 months. 100 yuan tuition fee”.
Recommend students to use online loans
Claiming an unconditional refund
"Now the total cost of 3 courses is only about 5,000 yuan. Before, it cost more than 9,000 yuan. There is a discount of 1,000 yuan for immediate registration, and a free sound card, on a first-come, first-served basis." Xiaolin from Chengdu, Sichuan added the contact information of the other party. After hearing that he could pay in installments, and after receiving the guarantee that "if he is not satisfied, he can refund the money unconditionally within 14 days, and no handling fee and interest will be incurred", Xiaolin applied for a loan to pay the tuition.
After listening to the 3-day class, Kobayashi was very dissatisfied with the content and arrangement of the course, so he contacted the other party to apply for a refund, but the other party kept refusing, and repeatedly persuaded that it would be beneficial to insist on finishing the study, and it would be helpful for the future.
Kobayashi found the customer service of the lending platform for consultation and learned that the refund can only be applied by the training institution.
Xiaolin went to the training institution again, and the other party replied that the trainee could only apply for 3 refunds, and now it has failed 3 times, and the money cannot be refunded.
At present, Xiaolin can only defend his rights while repaying his monthly installment loan of more than 500 yuan.
The reporter found in the investigation that in order to make people more "confident" to enroll, many training institutions will take the initiative to mention "educational loans", and claim that such loans have no interest and handling fees, and can be unconditional within a certain time limit or at any time. Refund.
The reporter clicked on the loan application link sent by one of the customer service personnel and found that although the interest in the loan agreement is not high, it is not interest-free, and a certain percentage of the handling fee needs to be paid.
After seeing that the reporter did not pay, the other party said that the preferential link has only a two-hour period, and it will be invalid after expiration.
Two days later, the customer service sent a screenshot saying that the last application has been invalidated, and if you want to take a loan to study, you can continue to apply.
It is worth noting that when the reporter encountered some training institutions that help students apply for loans, they will remind them that they should choose corporate personnel for their careers, and must fill in college or undergraduate education. Fill in the monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.
It is understood that some minors have also taken online loans because of this.
In addition, many trainees told reporters that after insisting on finishing the study, the training institution did not introduce job opportunities and part-time channels as promised at the beginning, but quickly disbanded the trainee group.
However, some training institutions strongly recommend novice part-time order-taking websites, which often require students to pay fees several times before they have the opportunity to audition and accept orders. Even if they receive orders, the income is very small, which is much lower than the fees promised by the training institutions.
The reporter investigated and learned that in order to achieve the effect of publicity by training institutions, it is necessary to enter the larger audio production platforms in the market, and these platforms often have strict review mechanisms: recording with professional equipment is required, and mobile phone recording is not accepted; broadcast hosting, dubbing Graduated from a related major, or have more than 1 year of experience in broadcasting and business distribution; have simple post-production capabilities and basic editing skills.
Insiders in the dubbing circle told reporters that although there are more and more various dubbing jobs on the Internet, there are not no thresholds. Most of those real voice practitioners are professional professionals with a good voice foundation and Accumulated training for a long time, and most voice actors do not earn high income.
The so-called 1,000 yuan per hour of some dubbing training institutions, and the monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan can be easily achieved by part-time jobs, which is not realistic at all.
There are also industry insiders who revealed that some organizations advertised package orders, in fact, they packaged themselves as party A, found some cheap copyright books, and bought students' time to record books at a lower price, and 10 hours of dry music did not work How much is the cost, and the tuition fees paid by the students in the past can fully cover this cost.
Lots of violations
Training institutions need to regulate
According to experts interviewed by reporters, these training institutions have a variety of violations and laws.
Zhu Xiaojuan, an associate professor at the School of Civil, Commercial and Economic Law, China University of Political Science and Law, believes that voice training belongs to professional training. Training institutions should first obtain relevant qualifications and permission from the education department, and carry out training work according to the basic conditions required for training. Correspondingly, teachers should also Meet the requirements of teacher qualifications and academic qualifications to ensure that the purpose of professional training is achieved, and many training institutions and their teachers obviously do not meet this requirement.
In response to the "0 yuan learning" and employment commitments in the advertisements of some training institutions, Tang Yu, a lawyer from Beijing Yinghe Law Firm, told reporters that according to the relevant provisions of my country's Advertising Law, the content of advertisements must not contain false or misleading content. Do not deceive or mislead consumers, such as "limited time zero yuan collection" "guide price 99 yuan, buy a class time to send a sound card" if the relevant class hours are not traded at the advertised price, it is suspected of price fraud.
"Education and training advertisements shall not contain any express or implied guarantee commitment to the effect of education or training, nor shall they use the names or images of scientific research units, academic institutions, educational institutions, industry associations, professionals, and beneficiaries to make Recommendations and proofs, from the perspective of these regulations, these training and education institutions do not meet the requirements." Tang Yu said.
Tang Yu said: "The online signing method has brought a lot of inconvenience to the settlement of disputes and disputes in the later stage. The trainees advocated revocation or termination of the training contract and asked for a refund. They often just communicated with the customer service over and over by phone. The complaints of the trainees could not be responded to and dealt with in a timely manner. In addition, some trainees considered that the cost of safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests through litigation, arbitration and other legal channels was too high, and the negotiation could not be resolved. ."
The reporter's investigation found that some training institutions released traffic-draining advertisements on online platforms, managed students on social groups, launched live broadcasts on paid platforms, and launched courses on self-built platforms and vocational education websites, and they only needed to provide an institution business license to enter these platforms. Simple procedures are enough.
The whole teaching process is relatively scattered, and complaints against some training institutions have also existed for a long time, but they have not been cured.
Zhu Xiaojuan believes that the addition of advertisements and online operations have made the participation of many subjects and the process complicated, and all parties have the need to make profits. The review and source control are relaxed or even mere formality, which is conducive to the maintenance of transaction order and consumers. Rights protection brings great challenges.
"The number of e-commerce transaction entities is large, and it is unrealistic and impossible to require market supervision departments to take the initiative to supervise. The characteristics of e-commerce operations determine the applicable needs of social co-governance. The competent authorities should strictly review and control the operation of licensing training institutions, and regularly Spot checks, supervise interviews, and timely rectify non-standard business conditions. Use scientific and technological power to strengthen supervision, set up a timely feedback processing mechanism, respond to complaints in a timely manner, and punish illegal acts in accordance with the law.” Zhu Xiaojuan said.
In Tang Yu's view, the development of this industry should not be overly restrained because of the current problems in the vocational education and training market. For institutions engaged in this private vocational education, an open, transparent and standardized private vocational education access and approval system should be established to explore The private vocational education negative list system shall be established and a sound withdrawal mechanism shall be established.
"It is necessary to openly recruit and select training evaluation organizations through a socialized mechanism. Training evaluation organizations should adapt to occupational standards, in line with international advanced standards, develop occupational skill level standards in accordance with relevant regulations, and be responsible for the implementation of occupational skill assessment, evaluation and certificate issuance. The government Departments should strengthen supervision to prevent random training and indiscriminate issuance of certificates. Industry associations should actively cooperate to provide a good service environment for training evaluation organizations." Tang Yu suggested.
