Charter College — Local services in Vancouver

Good teachers for the hvac class especially james. Kathleen was a wonderful teacher with good teaching methods in the technology fundamentals class. My only complaint is the support and the lack of efficiency by the charter college staff. What I mean is on holidays they will move your class to another day in the week messing with your work schedule and there will be no way to make up in class points which earn you the most points. Not only that but I helped my friend get set up at charter and like they did to me they rushed him into a class unprepared and did not help him or even tell him when he was scheduled. They told him he had class on friday and he actually had it on monday and tuesday and after he had missed the classes and all those points hes struggling and behind but no offer is made to make up the points. So after the charter college staff failing him as a student they pretty much just told him to figure it out even though it was not his fault at all. I am considering switching colleges strictly for the fact that the staff is unprofessional and inefficient. Also i would like to bring up that i was threatened to lose points for not wearing a charter shirt. I was told i would recieve them after my first module and then after my teacher warned myself and another student that we would begin losing points if we did not wear them we went to the office and they informed us we would not receive them until mod 5 or 6. You guys are taking our money as veterans of the armed service and frankly im disappointed in your school. I will however state again that the teachers are excellent and im saddened that they dont have a better staff to back up their great...

Horrible place. Heather Allen is a bully. My dog is a service animal. I was going to school and all of a sudden it was an issue. Heather from day one was a bully to me. And she thinks she is allowed to have a copy of my paperwork on my dog. I denied her a copy because it’s illegal to obtain one if it’s not me. And she isn’t even allowed to ask for my documents what makes her think she can have a copy? Well yesterday they kicked me out due to my service animal. So now all the hard work I did is down the drain and I have to talk to a lawyer. I’m 23 years old just trying to obtain my education and she is causing unnecessary stress and emotional issues for me. She is way in over her head and she admitted that she was being a bully to me. I asked her to say it to the camera and she did. As admitting she was a bully she was still being rude. You know there is reasons why people have service animals and she is making my life very complicated. As no one else had a problem at all with my dog. Heather seems to think bullying in a school setting is okay and she thinks it’s okay to kick someone out with a service animal. Experience here is unforgettable. By all means DONT TOUCH THE COFFEE FOR ANY REASON OR ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Amazing how a human being in charge of a school can be this rude to people. If there was a half of a star I would half star this place like the longest yard. Way to just stir the pot Heather. They don’t know what...

I will start off saying that the two instructors I had are amazing, however, the management of this school is ridiculous. First of all, over half of the answers on the tests and quizzes are all wrong or they contradict each other from the text book. Many times during quizzes questions had to be corrected because they are false. Second, unless it it Covid related, you cannot make up a day of class. Got a cold? Can’t make it up. Baby sitter trouble? Can’t make up the class. Had to work? Can’t make the class up. Another student in my class got subpoenaed to court and he wasn’t allowed to make up the class he missed. Third, from the very beginning of my Veterinary Assistant classes the school told all of the students to get jobs in vet clinics so that way we could get paid for during our externship. (Which is 5weeks long and like 40+ hours a week all unpaid) right until the month before my externship, (I even had job interviews set up) they tell us that we are not allowed to be paid for our externship because it is a class and would not count. 9 months of telling us this, and then change their mind at the last second. Fourth, there’s no hands on training, aside from some laboratory work. Of course there is a lot more thats wrong with this school, but Jay would mean writing a book. I would not recommend this school to anyone, it is far to expensive for the amount of “education”...
