My experience with Academy of Learning Career College in Kingston was absolutely wonderful. The admissions process was fantastic and made you feel comfortable. They really help you open your options as to what you want to learn and get out of this college. The instructors and entire staff are phenomenal at helping you with any questions you have and are willing to work around your schedule for attending the college. I received my Medical Office Administration diploma with honours. I found a position as a medical office administrator a few days before I actually graduated. This position started as a term part time position that lead to permanent full time. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful support system from the entire staff. I definitely recommend this college for any future students!

Sincerely,
Angel G. – Medical Office Administration Diploma

My Experience as a Medical Office Administration Student

Coming from Africa, my friends thought it was going to be difficult to learn in Canada, so I set my goals and decided to enroll at Academy of Learning College. At first, I thought it was an office and later we would all go onto our various classrooms. Later on, I learned it was a place of perfect learning that helps you to understand everything you need to know. The facilitators are so friendly and they bear with me knowing it was difficult, but I was going to make it. They never discouraged me at all; very encouraging kind of people. They were always there to help with I needed them.

Having pursued this excellent program gave me the knowledge, confidence and helped me to overcome my fears that always held me back has brought a new dimension into my life to achieve a successful career in this country. I was astounded with what I achieved as I went along and you will feel the same if you put the required effort into the program. I strongly recommend the Academy of Learning Career College.

Independent – but not alone: that is how I would best describe my overall experience at Academy of Learning Career College. I attended another college right after high school and it really tainted my ambition to learn and apply effort. I took a couple years off from schooling and worked full time while trying to decide what my next steps should be. I started looking around for other options, hoping I would not have to go back to a big “mainstream” college and while out driving one day, I suddenly came upon Academy of Learning Career College. That’s when I decided to go back to school.

The first person I met at the college was Cecil. My first impression of him was that he was friendly and professional, and over the next 8 months, I found out just how funny he is. He definitely helped with lightening the mood of students. I then met Dorota, the Admissions Representative and Financial Aid Officer, whose positive attitude and ambition helped me to decide to enroll. No matter what I was concerned about, she always presented a solution, which was very reassuring. Then, I met the college Director, Michael, and it did not take long to realize how helpful and supportive he is, dedicated to everyone’s success.

Once I started my program, I found that I had so much ambition to learn that I was consistently able to complete course work on schedule. I did this with the support of the Facilitators, Tara, Bev, and Racheal. They all have more patience than I will ever acquire. Every question was answered, some were answered repeatedly. Tara had the patience to sit with me, explain, and help me until it was resolved. Bev asked probing questions to help me find the solutions, and Racheal explained 1 thing at least 3 different ways which I found very helpful.

I met so many interesting and new people; people of all ages, ethnicities, cultures, each at different places in their lives. I worked independently on my studies yet found myself in a big group environment. We had pot-lucks, fundraisers, bake sales, and weekly meetings. Academy of Learning Career College has their own little community and everyone was welcome.

I graduated with honours in June, 2016 from the Business Administration Program. I am now working for the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, HR Advisory Services division, as an Information Management Clerk. If it wasn’t for Academy of Learning Career College, the people who work there, and the program I took, I would not be where I am now. I would recommend this college to anyone. If I ever need further education, I would return. I am so grateful I found Academy of Learning Career College.

Sincerely,

Ashly K. – Business Administration Diploma

After years of hitting road blocks, it seemed like everything was in the way of my dream of getting a college diploma. I became used to the idea that retail management was it for me, that I would always be stuck in that routine.

After having my daughter and staying home to raise her, I decided that this was my chance to take the jump into a career that meant something to me. I did not want to get stuck back in the retail world, so I did my research to see what my options were. I checked out several colleges and made appointments to find out what possibilities for training and a career there were. AOLCC was the only one that made me feel important and at “home”. Initially, I walked into the Director’s (Dorota) office with uncertainty; however, I came out confident that this was the place for me. The college’s flexibility with attendance hours and its understanding of family life was pretty amazing.

The team at AOLCC is truly remarkable: Tara, Racheal, Hayley, Rob, Cecil, Amanda, Dorota and Michael are like nothing you will ever find at any other college. They go above and beyond to make you feel special and that you can do anything you put your mind to.

I have worked for many family-run businesses and understand the dynamics of what it’s like to work with one. AOLCC was no different in that aspect. I felt like one of the team and that my time mattered.

Thank you for all the smiles, laughter, and encouragement. I will cherish it always.

Sincerely,

Tara T. – Medical Office Administration Diploma

Dear Kingston Campus:
When asked to provide feedback regarding my courses and time with your College, I was pleased to have the opportunity.
As a mature student with volunteer activities, etc., I found the program at your College to exactly meet my needs. I was never made to feel that I did not belong in the program or any classes. I was initially worried, however, your teachers and program has provided me with every opportunity to be successful.
Your flexibility in course time and time in the classroom allowed me the options I needed to complete all my school work. I was allowed to move at my own pace and was encouraged to do courses in the way that worked best for me. This was huge towards my success. I was able to move through classes quickly and as such I was able to complete my program early to meet my personal needs. How wonderful it was to feel in control of my time and commitment.
I appreciated always having someone available to help me. Your teachers are very encouraging and supportive. They understand that every student is coming for a different reason and is trying to balance school and life. I only wish I had teachers like this when I was attending high school.
I feel very positive about myself and my accomplishments in completing this course. It has reinforced my confidence in my abilities and I no longer feel that I am not ‘smart enough’. I am very proud of my efforts and results in this program.
I thank you very much for your support of my goals and for helping me individually to meet them. I would recommend this program to anyone that is interested in continuing their personal education.

Yours in Support,
Brigitte S. – Marketing Co-ordinator Diploma

I truly feel that my experience at a private career college is what made all the difference in the world. I was able to receive the one-on-one attention and support that I would not have received at a community college.

I hadn’t thought of getting a diploma when I started with Academy of Learning Career College. Initially, I thought I’d take a few courses for interest’s sake. I’m semi-retired, didn’t have an advanced education after graduating from high school, and had a lot of time on my hands. After a year of taking individual certificate courses, I wondered if it would be possible to take the credits from the courses I’d completed and put them toward a diploma. Well, this was no problem thanks to the advice and support from the staff.

The camaraderie amongst all staff members is nothing but fantastic! I’ve now decided to stay and am about to start my second diploma program. I don’t think I would be doing this if it wasn’t for the great attention from all levels of staffing here at AOLCC. The class environment is relaxed which makes learning a pleasurable, much-appreciated experience. I would highly recommend AOLCC for any individual who would like to increase their education and training.
