Bredin College - Edmonton, Alberta

Monday O.

I am glad I attended the Bredin Centre for Career Advancement in Edmonton. They have such a friendly, dedicated, and supportive team who are ready to help you and ensure that you get employed. I recommend the institute to anyone who is looking for employment in Edmonton and does not know how to go about it. A big thank you to all the team at Bredin Institute. God bless you all.

When I was still a student, instructors were really nice and supportive. You can easily approach them and always ready to extend a hand. I'm glad I made a decision to study again and took Legal Assistant Program and now I work in the field I truly enjoy.

Even after I graduated, the school is still very helpful to their former student just like myself. I emailed them stating that I needed some documents and the following day, I got the documents. Oh boy! Truly a life saver and it was a relief. Thank you Bredin for your help and the opportunity.

I’m currently in the Accounting and Payroll Administration program. I chose the Self-paced option since I live far away from Downtown and I work two days of the week.

Hands down this program has been the most frustrating experience of my life. Every course that I began requires a day of emailing back and forth with the prof to get access to the ebooks and online subscriptions. Student services are impossible to get ahold of so I have to wait till the end of the day when the prof is done teaching to help me with the issues. If anyone from the office emails me back it is usually a day or 2 later and then they tell me I already have the codes I need or they don’t answer the question I asked. They always say you can have an extension if need be but the one time I needed one (because my prof and I couldn’t get the course material online to work for a whole week) no one from the office would answer my prof so I just had to work extra hard to get the course done on time.

this wasn't a good college, the former manager here was very rude, she made me feel like I wasn't going to be able to succeed in the MOA program and was trying to close the door on me as I was registering. I felt uncomfortable especially when it felt like this manager was shaming you for trying to go into a career you may be interested in. Even the practicum placement wasn't as good, I didnt get any kind of experience working in the front desk, I was basically locked in a seperate room with another student and all we did was run around the facility gathering information on each career advisor....I did not expect that especially when you had to tell the college that you have anxiety and they put you in a placement where they think you'd get experience working in an office but no....

The teacher was great for a different program but to be honest, they were just trying to shut you down if they think you're not capable.

The previous manager isn;t here anymore but I don't think i can recommend this college to anyone.

I started schooling for medical office assistant at the beginning of this year but due to some personal reasons i had to drop out. It was around halfway through the course so in a little over a month my loans were going to come out. The school told me that i had to call Alberta student loans to cancel, when I called i was informed the school needed to call and by the time they did it was too late and my loans were taken out and paid to them. Since then it has been 5 months and Bredin have not paid the almost 6k they owe. I have called and emailed multiple people and they all are super unorganized and dont know whats going on. The financial guy ignored me after i continued to ask so I had to go higher up only to be told "ill get the fire started under them" which was apperantly never started as my loans are out of grace period next month.

If I could give this 0 stars I would happily do it. The WORST institution I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I took the Community Support Worker program through Bredin, started in October of last year and was supposed to graduate on September 3 of this year. Yet here we are, almost mid November, and I still don't have marks from one course that was competed MONTHS ago, also waiting for my practicum grade, over a month now(they were OVER A MONTH getting me my materials fo practicum, I didn't even start my practicum until after my graduation date). I was given the option of self paced learning after one instructor didn't like being called on their inaccuracies (they were marking me absent when I was in fact present and all of our classes were recorded and I'm recorded speaking in class the days in question, I was never actually absent, and I was receiving emails from my funding letting me know that my impending termination would indeed affect my funding and my ability to reapply), in the 10 months that we were in program with this college we had numerous different instructors leave, or we requested new because of the language barrier we couldn't understand. We had to switch up our courses on the spur of the moment because instructors wouldn't show up and they didn't know what they were going to do as a college itself. There is such a lack of professionalism with ALMOST each and every single member of the faculty(there is very, VERY few that are in fact amazing at what they do and are respected by me), its disgusting! 20/10 would NOT recommend!

i Had an amazing time at the college, my instructors were the best part of the college. The coordination of the needs further improvement in terms of communication among students as well as the staffs of the college. For the Medical Office Assistant with Unit Clerk program..i will like to say they are one of the best in Edmonton. Thanks

-I did MOA with Unit Clerk in Bredin College,
It was a great and self challenging experience for me. Instructors were very helpful and very informative, Gail and Grace are extraordinary teachers.

-Other students are complaining of the instructors and the poor teaching which is not true, this is where self challenging strat if you are good enough, know how to manage your time and find way to study you'll be one of the top students in the class. It's self motivation 😌.

- For me Bredin made my dream coming true, I couldn't find other college will take students without high school Diploma, or students with other countries high school Diploma.

-BREDIN COLLEGE MADE ME REALIZE THAT NO MATTER HOW OLD OR BUSY YOU ARE YOU CAN DO IT.

-I proved to myself self and my kids that I can and I will do it.
