BCIT Downtown Campus

This College rejected my Admission while i have a GPA of 19.40 out of 20. They only look at a specific course and reject the admissions easily. Do not apply for this school.

Pretty clean place for learning and studying. However, there are some renovation projects underway as of this writing. If noise is an issue for you try the library or Burnaby campus instead.

I've been at both Burnaby and Downtown campus multiple times and I must say, Downtown campus service/security staff (not aiming at professors) are the absolute worse. They don't want to help you. They will do the most minimal effort to avoid any interaction with a human and send you off. They look like they can't even stand each other! I live in Downtown and I'd rather take a longer commute to Burnaby because the staff there are so much more friendly and so much more willing to help you sort any problems. Basically, Downtown service staff are tremendously lazy.

Great experience.Clean campus with full of technologies.

Dental Receptionist Course - the course is full of outdated information (1980’s material given). No proper citations in the made up handout book - Very unprofessional. Time could be better spent in the classroom - The class end date was extended b/c instructor was sick one day - which is fine. But then class time is wasted on spelling bees as opposed to making up for the missed day.

I would like to voice how unbelievably unimpressed I am with BCIT’s student care and safety. I was present yesterday at BCIT downtown campus when a fellow classmate had a medical emergency. None of your security guards had first aid training, and when concerned they were having a heart attack they could not locate or tell us where the defibrillator was and looked for it for the entire time never locating it. If this was truly the case, the student could’ve died. Your young female guard left the scene several times to run down to talk to the older man guard while she could’ve used a radio to contact him and ensure she was with the injured student. When the ambulance finally arrived, I was told to go get them by the 911 operator. Upon doing so, your older man security guard yelled at me and another classmate. Telling us to go away, that this was not our job and to leave. All while the paramedics were asking for info on what happened, who my classmate was and age and condition. None of which he knew so I had to answer them as he continued to scream at me and my fellow student to go away.We tried to access the students emergency contact to call a contact for the student, but no one from my teacher (not their fault) to the security could access this emergency contact info.This is unacceptable behaviour from any school, let alone one of BCIT’s claimed excellence. On numerous occasions your reckless employees could’ve caused a students death by being untrained, and if the students in my class were not trained in first aid the student could’ve suffered further complications or risks.Edit-BCIT called and has handled this situation very professionally and is promising new safety measures will be put into place with their staff and procedures.

2022:2nd floor in under renovation still which means the escalator is all boarded up.If you don't have a mask, ask at the security desk and you will be provided a disposable blue one.

Beautiful building with nice study areas.

High workload because they cram a 4 year course into 2 years. Practical assignments are a plus though.

I used BCIT servises as I needed an invigilator for my exam. I was communicating with Tanya, the Assessment Administrator, before and during my exam and I have to say she provides excellent customer service, she is very responsive via email, and approachable, friendly and kind in person. When you're stressed before the test, it is really much appreciated!! :-) Thank you!
