Course Curriculum

10

The course curriculum is great. It is organized and is very helpful throughout your studies.

Faculty

10

I wouldn't really know the exact faculty-student ratio as I'm not at the campus but I do know that the faculty that I've dealt with for this past almost year has been great. They answer you in a timely manner, very professional and helpful. Anyone you contact is always willing to take time to help you understand what you're asking or lead you in the right direction to someone who can help. I can't praise this faculty enough, they deserve recognition.

Part Time Jobs

I know they do offer work experiences for each program and campus jobs if you view their website they have different listings within the school. I'm actually registering in a work experience course coming up in January which requires so many hours to work at a place you hope to work for once you graduate.

Placement

10

I'm not sure about this yet as I never went for a placement yet. But I do know every student has to do a work experience course if you're program requires it. Depending on your program, there are a number of job roles offered.

Accommodation

10

I did not face any challenges as I did not need to travel for my program. It was online. I'm currently living at home and taking this course online, I never ran into any challenges with meals, travelling, accomodations.

Exams

After taking five years to realize this is the program I want to be apart of, I checked into it and you only need a grade 12 diploma to apply, but you need to main at least a 60 average in the courses to graduate. The course is only 1 year and the exam that's required is for the accounting course which shows you can use the software. So far I only did one exam and I got a 75 on it.

Events

10

I do not attend the campus so again, I don't know exactly.

Fees

They fee is structured into a Full-Time Tuition $3,415 and a Part-Time Tuition $452/unit. Most programs allow a part time / full time option which is great for students. I know they do offer scholarships for international students, I just don't know what every single one is called. I never looked into their scholarships. I also did required to have any loans for this program.

Scholarship

I did not.

Examination Structure

There is two proctored exams for the accounting course which allows you to show the instructor that you can use the software you've been using throughout the course. Really shows you're the one doing the work since someone has to be watching you not like with your assignments.
