Anyone know anything about Metro Patrol Security or Code-4 in El Monte/Temple City CA?

I went to a recruitment they had for Code-4 at the EDD in El Monte. They're affiliated and supposedly send people to work with Metro Patrol (not to be confused with Los Angeles Metro Police) after they send them for training. They promised everyone who signed up with them jobs and now I'm getting the run around about when we (me, my wife and our friend) will go for training. Code-4 said EDD is paying for the training and EDD is telling me they don't. Does anyone know anything about either Code-4 or Metro Patrol Services? Obviously I think I know all I need to know now. We paid them $35 a piece for background checks which I'm now going to have to try to get back. If I can't get it from them, how do I go about getting it back? I don't want to go to Small Claims for such a small amount, but I don't want to just let them just walk away with it. So I guess this is a two part question. Any information or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks
