“Next month I'll be graduating from the Addictions and Community Worker program. I studied online and have been very happy with my experience. Throughout the program I felt engaged and challenged and have learned so much. My instructors were very knowledgeable and supporting and would highly recommend this program to anyone.”
“What went wrong? Where do I start. The lack of communication and professionalism from management and instructors is mind blowing. Takes days sometimes weeks for a response from anyone.
They like to fire the instructors who stand up for themselves and students.
I went through 4 instructors in less then 5 months.
They hire the most useless incompatent instructors.
You pay for class time to cover material but spend 75% of it in a breakout room to learn the material on your own.
The courses and assignments are outdated. Online certificates are American bases and not all of them are Canadian recognized (first aid and CPR)
You will not have the support from management.
Do yourself a favor and save your money.
When I was enrolled I was asked why I think students are dropping out. They didn't like what i had to say and all my Comments were deleted.
I will continue to speak up and make sure students don't get taken advantage of like I was.
I am stuck with student loans and a certificate from a College that has to be one of the worst schools.
Run don't walk. Don't even give them the satisfaction of even considering this school.”
“At best, an introduction course. Their 'Willis Way' is jerking you back and forth from topic to topic, giving you no time to absorb the content before changing direction. Pretty useless and a waste of money in any of their technical courses.”
“I find the course to be a huge waste of time. The actual classes online have been more just wasting 2 hours than it is actual teaching. Homework assignments are basically "read this book, learn it cause we didn't cover much in the lecture, then do 16 hours a day of homework. All homework is due Sunday after your exam". The teachers have little to no professionalism. If you already have a course recently done like a communication course or CPR they won't plar it because it's "too much paperwork" for them to do. They lied about work at your pace, you work at their pace and if you have a job expect to always be tired because between work and homework there's no room for much sleep. Office hours if you need help are slim. Unless you don't work then you might be able to get help if you have a question. 100% regret giving them thousands of my non refundable dollars and weeks of my time. Do not use this school.”
“I graduated from the cyber program online. I found the program to be demanding and at times hard to balance it with all my other commitments, but I was expecting this in such a condensed program. I found a good job.”
“At Willis College, I, Nasrin, excel in Accounting and Payroll. I had an outstanding experience with my teacher, Moe, who expertly taught Soft Skills. He demonstrated great patience, knowledge, and kindness, and I truly benefited from his teaching.”
“If you wonder if this is a good school to learn, this is not. They are here to make money out of you. The teaching is lacking and nothing is up-to-date. The standard of any industries is not respected, and the school is in a basement of a mall. Have fun without any window for your whole tuition. The cybersecurity program is lacking the most. You would learn more in any other IT course (I would recommend any public school developer course). For most, I would HIGHLY recommend a public school over this.”
“The program for CAF Members is a joke. They have high teacher turnover because no one that’s decent wants to work there. Have terrible policies on remotely completing your work when it’s been done during Covid. And it’s just another poor military contract that would have been so much better done privately.”
“They want me to pay 8000$ after i finished my school. I paid all my program cost. When i ask for my diploma .they asked me for 8000$ for the diploma.”
“The school misleads their Cyber Security students. The college used to deliver quality education for CSAs however the content is out of date, and they have gone from a high quality model to a cookie cutter factory model. Where they push students through for a numbers game rather than a quality game. There is no reason to be teaching old skills and technology in a modern digital environment. Basically nothing you learn will be applicable today. Material is also filled with spelling mistakes, incorrect information, and tests have wrong answers. Basically until they fix their curriculum--avoid at all costs.
In addition, they don't provide learning materials that you pay for.”
“For someone who didn’t finish high school in Canada I was afraid that I won’t be accepted into the business program. I found the admissions process easy and have learned so much since I started! My favourite part so far has been accounting.”
“This "College" takes advantage of individuals in tough situations and charges 15,000$ for tuition. After you get your "diploma" you will quickly realize little work places recognize Willis as a college, no other college or university will accept this transcript. Your starting salary will be barely enough to make ends meet or to pay back the money owed for the course.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY THIS COLLEGE IS A SCAM”
“It's currently been my first one whole month here at Willis for Dental Assisting Level I and II and the first college I've ever been to. My two teachers are very kind and connect to each student individually every day in the best ways. So far I've had a good experience with my classwork and lab. Only thing I'd change would be for the classrooms to be swept and for us to have a place to put our things over night (Scrubs and shoes).”
“I am not currently attending Willis College but I was looking for programs for my boyfriend's sister. My experience with the Student Admissions Advisor, Andrae, was great. He was very friendly and helpful. I think I also helped my boyfriend's sister find the perfect diploma program she could take even as a busy working mother. Andrae gave me all the information I was looking for and I left the call feeling excited for my boyfriend's sister!”
