About Us | Academy of learning

Right from the beginning I knew I wanted to go to the Academy of Learning Career College. I had researched other colleges but the Admission Director was very welcoming, listened to my needs and provided me with the necessary information to make an informed choice of the career I wanted to pursue. I have learned so much from the Administrative Assistant diploma program with the excellent help and support from my facilitators. And on the top of that help, they have provided me with extra guidance and assistance in writing a professional resume and letter as well as providing me with job leads related to my goal. It is their enthusiasm to see me succeed that has kept me motivated.

After working for a firm for 28 years I was informed that they no longer needed my services. I was a mature worker and had tied myself to one job and one company for many years, so I was apprehensive about looking for a new job. After submitting many resumes, I realized that I was unable to meet the requirements of most employers. My years of experience no longer mattered. I needed to upgrade my skills to be marketable and competitive in today’s workforce. I decided on Academy of Learning Career College. The Facilitators were tremendous and always ready and able to help. I liked the idea of self-paced learning. I was able to complete some of the subjects quickly, and others were more challenging and required extra time and effort. In less than a year I graduated with an Honours diploma. I had a sense of accomplishment and felt very pleased with myself.

Before I started at Academy of Learning Career College, I had basic computer skills. I had some office experience, but I could not find a job in my field of accounting. Without Canadian education and experience, employers would not hire me. I enrolled in the Computerized Accounting diploma program at Academy of Learning Career College so I could get the skills I needed. At first I was apprehensive about starting school, but I’m so glad I did. The instructors were very patient no matter how many questions I asked, and they encouraged me as I worked hard to increase my typing speed. The staff gave me many job leads and they put in extra time and effort to help me polish my resume and cover letters. I really appreciated the job search I received after I graduated.

I am in the process of completing one of the Information Technology designations which complements my current career objectives. Like Academy of Learning Career College programs, the one I chose is career focused, and I must say, it has definitely brought me up to speed with current technology trends. I am glad I made Academy of Learning Career College my choice and I highly recommend them to anybody who is seeking a credible qualification with a flexible study schedule.

I just want to thank the Academy of Learning Career College for giving me a start as a new comer to Canada. Coming here I realized that I had to start my life all over again. Not knowing where to start, I received a flyer in the mail from Academy of Learning Career College with a list of programs they were offering. Hesitantly I called the school and got enrolled in the Personal Support Worker program. I got trained within six months and graduated with a diploma as a Personal Support Worker. I am so grateful now because I feel a sense of belonging because I am now a member of the healthcare field. It is a career I have always wanted.

During my learning experience at Academy of Learning Career College, I received encouragement, help with all my course related issues and much positive feedback with regards to career objectives and education training objectives. The staff always helped to keep me in positive spirits when exam testing and certification tests were at hand. The placement coordinator has been extremely helpful with job searching and motivation. Academy of Learning Career College has been a comfortable learning scenario and will always be my number one choice for future learning experiences.
