Portage College, Lac La Biche Campus - Lac la Biche, Alberta

The worst admission team they have.

They kept saying to have IQAS but after the IQAS assessment, the college said it was not qualified.
Spent 500$ and 3 months wasted.
Very late reply, no answering the phone and everything is so slow.

Never recommend this college.

One of the better colleges to take courses related to Environment. Natural Resource Technology is an excellent course with lots to offer, instructors are full of knowledge and willing to share their wisdom. Comfortable & Friendly environment, knowledgeable instructors, and lots to offer.

Photos are as follows; #1: Mock spill clean up #2: Trip to Cold Lake Fish hatchery. #3: Chainsaw training.

My nephew and his friend will be joining the January 2025 intake. What other housing options are available nearby if they prefer not to live in the dorm?

Hi, my name is Somia and my student I.D is 179161. I'm an immigrant here in Canada. To get my skills improved I decided to back to school and I applied at the Portage college after listening lots of positive reviews from my friends. But they forgot to mention about the admission process and student advisors.

I applied for the early learning and childcare certificate in the start of 2024. My IQAS assessment was not done by that time. So I went to the IQAS and get my educational credential assessment done on 29th of Aril, 2024. It's been more than 3 months ( today is 12 Aug, 2024) and my application is still pending. I daily make phone calls and send e-mails to student advisor but it seems phone call operators try to cover the student advisor which is very disappointing. Today I got an e-mail regarding the deadline for admission which is Aug 16th. I already sent a pdf of my assessment from IQAS.

I got an e-mail regarding the last date of admission but student advisor did not mention how to fix this situation. That's what between college and IQAS. If I am wrong please make me correct as I mentioned i'm new here. I request to the supervisor or the owner please go into details of my application and solve my issue ASAP as i'm already depressed.

THANK YOU.

A friend of mine referred me this school , so yes I call and was able to talk the advisor but I was so frustrated cos she sounds like she's not helping me and yet I already paid, Till now I was not enroll . I hope that I have another advisor to speak because I really want to enroll. I was really dis disappointed I hope portage will see this post and hoping they'll help me, still willing to enroll the school cos i believe this school is legit.

My name is Gurniwaz singh. I requested for the refund from Campbell college . I even provided them with the offer letter I got from other college in the same program as the course is non credited with Campbell college CIOT with Portage College. Neither they sent the reply Nor bothered to communicate further. It is my right to get the refund which I am entitled to.

This situation is very depressing where I am not getting any support from my college to get a refund nor any communication. Campbell college is sending us to the Kingsway location to get a refund . Upon reaching there they ask to send an email. But none replied about the emails.

I must say , we initially agreed to study under portage college although the campus was Campbell but this is causing us so many issues. Being a student I put my trust, money and safety in the hands of portage college . Campbell college is showing irresponsibility towards the students and playing with their future by not guiding them in the appropriate direction.

I will rate the college zero if i get the option to. If immigration changed the rules , they must support them . Instead choose to update their refund policy so that international students can suffer at their cause. Imagine one way you are struggling to find a college to endeavor your hard work being student other side you have no money to pay the fee because your college decided to update policy after getting them out listed from DLI.

What a harassment and mental stress Campbell caused. Shame!

I'm a student at portage@campbell college . I did not get any reply regarding work permit being provided to January 2024 intake students. We are not sure if we will get it. Or else we need to get a refund for next semester regarding this. This is such a waste of time not less but whole 2 years.
