Bow Valley College, South Campus

Completed the HCA program. April 26 was my last day at practicum and i have found work as an HCA already. I absolutely loved the program and my instructors. I am so glad that i did it. I will be honest and tell you that it is a lot of work and you need to put the time and effort into your studies. I promise that this will pay off. You need to be proactive and organized. You will be doing assignments and presentations and labs right away. This is adult education and you need to take responsibility for yourself and your workload. If you cannot follow basic instructions you will have issues. Be on time and attend all your scheduled classes and labs. Treat it like you would a job. There are also so many resources in the college available to students, make use of them. You will be told about these at orientation and again in your first couple of days of classes. This review may sound like my experience was no fun at all but it actually was a ton of fun and i made some great friends. I just want to give the above mentioned advice to people that are considering going back to education. The college itself is beautiful. The instructors i had were amazing and so helpful. Thanks again. Highly recommend.

Overall, I have had an excellent experience at BVC. I just completed the Justice Studies diploma, and am excited to have this with me for my future. The teachers are very knowledgeable and understanding. They all have a vast range of knowledge from working in different areas of the justice system, and they share their knowledge with the students. BVC makes sure that the students in this program graduate with the appropriate certifications to help us succeed in our future careers, whichever path we take. The teachers take the time to get to know their students.
I feel like some of these bad google reviews have nothing to do with the courses themselves, but rather the admissions and registrar departments.
Very good college, and I would recommend them to anyone!
