VCC - Downtown Campus

I tried to book an appointment to get information about a certification program, the first time I called, the lady who answered my phone call mentioned that I needed to be quick since her shift was about to end, I called a second time trying to reschedule and now the guy who answered was really rude, asking me to speak slow and on the mic because he couldn't understand me, I was speaking LOUD and CLEAR, I think he just said that because of my accent. I ended up canceling my appointment, I mentioned the reasons why I did it. I don't want to enroll in a school where they don't know how to be polite and provide a good customer/student service and where they don't make you feel welcome.

My best year was in VCC with excellent teaching and high learning level

Worst admissions office ever. Can't keep track of any payment. Such a headache with these people.

The place and ambiance was really good had a good spa sessions at my friend’s place. The cafe gives student made products and would be your must do thing.

Went for a brief visit with my friend as he got admitted in an automotive program in VCC. The space is well utilized, and staff are friendly. Parking has to be done on the street.

The food from the culinary arts students is outstanding and reasonably priced. Apart from the limited timing this place rule for downtown food open to the public. The cafe sells butchered meats cheaper than any grocery store.

Apparently this school doesn’t work for everyone I was told by the instructor - just a select few - it’s not inclusive of all walks of life.8 students from the dental hygiene program failed the first semester. That’s 36.6% failure rate. Instructors do not know how to teach anatomy. When it came to learning anatomy they do not show students how to distinguish between teeth, anomalies or anything of the such. They don’t elaborate on the learning topics. Just verbatim of slides in class. They don’t have frequent testing to ensure information sticks. Also, come 4pm - good luck finding an instructor. They all disappear. As a person, it’s great! classes end at 4pm. but as a learning environment, it shouldn’t close so soon. Lazy people. And if they do see you struggling... instead of helping the student personally they pass the buck to learning services. Like learning services is a tutor in the DH program. They are not. They like to blame the student and lack of studying. Which isn’t the case. They need to teach better. Many students struggled with learning what the instructors want them to learn. They are not clear in what needs to be known.They might have been good decades ago but they sure are out of date now.

I was enrolled in doing online classes to upgrade some courses. I had so many problems, not being able to see my classes, not being able to get a concrete answer from anyone just kept getting transferred to someone else. They don't put any prices out for you to see and you will be half way through your course and they want you to complete part 2" which means re paying. Other I know who have gone here say they were completely used just for their money. This school is all about the money."

I had a bad experience here with the cooking school back in the year 2018. I was being very mistreated by a substitute chef here. I left in tears, never stepping foot here no matter what program they have to offer here. Stay away, I am warning you.

The information on the website is not the same that you hear from costumer service. Simply tried to book an appointment with an advisor as I was never studied there and they ask for my student number and didn’t let me book an appointment because I didn’t have one. What kind of image would you get as someone who is interested to study there?
