Not recommended for serious adult learners. As an adult student who enrolled in this school with full-time work and professional goals, I found the environment and structure of this school to be deeply disappointing and misaligned with what was promised during enrollment. Disclaimer: No names are mentioned in this review. This is not a personal attack, but a reflection of my overall experience. Key issues I experienced: - Shared Classrooms with High School Students Many classes are shared with high school students from the attached Polytech program. While this may work for some, it created a disruptive environment for those of us paying out-of-pocket and attending for career advancement. The learning space often felt more like a high school than a professional training program. - Lack of Professionalism and Respect Adult students were treated with the same disciplinary tone as younger students, rather than being spoken to as peers. Asking questions was often met with frustration or impatience. Much of the instruction felt hands-off, students were expected to teach themselves, with minimal direct guidance. - False Advertising of Program Content When I applied, the school promoted specific certifications and opportunities as part of the program. After financial aid had been processed and it was too late to withdraw without penalty, I was informed that those opportunities were not actually available. This felt misleading and left me with limited options besides continuing. - Internship Placement Issues Internship placements were initiated very early, within the first few weeks of the program, before I had any foundational knowledge. The first opportunity understandably fell through due to lack of experience. I secured a second internship, but the company was in the middle of a transition and informed me they weren’t able to provide proper support for interns at that time. They respectfully let me go, encouraged me to return in the future, and kept the door open. Despite this, I was reprimanded in front of peers for circumstances beyond my control. I was scolded, loudly and publicly, for “blowing” both internships. I was asked, in front of my peers, “What’s WRONG with you? What do you say to make people HATE you so much?” I stood there stunned, in tears, and humiliated. This interaction was discouraging, unprofessional, and contributed to my decision to leave. I share this experience not out of bitterness, but out of concern for future adult students who may find themselves in similar situations. I was committed, punctual, and motivated, but the environment did not support that effort in a meaningful way. If you're considering this school as an adult learner, I recommend doing thorough research and asking very specific questions about what is actually included in the program, how instruction is handled, and whether the environment supports mature learners.
