One of the few establishments in town for teaching specialized software (they're an Autodesk…read moreAuthorized Training Centre) besides BCIT. Parking is available along Shellbridge, but the streets completely fill up by 0830. There are also 10 or so guest spots in front of the building, but one needs to get a pass for those to park all day. Otherwise it's a 3h maximum. The "office" is really a few conference rooms, a lunch room, and a classroom for computer software training. One neat thing is that the instructor can flip between the various students' screens, so he or she doesn't actually have to actually get up and walk over. The instructor can also take over the mice and keyboards as necessary. As an added bonus, there is a coffee machine, and a small bowl of granola bars, in multiple flavours. Definitely nice, considering the courses here cost more than double than the same courses at BCIT. With that said, this place offers 5 day courses (40h instruction), while BCIT often takes 12 weeks to do the same thing. If you want to learn the specialized software quickly, it's worth the premium.

Before I contacted Araz I spent 9 months studying and trying to learn the material by myself. I took the exam and ended up failing with a score of 55/100... I ended up finding Araz online and asked if he thought it would be possible to bump my score up enough in 3 months time to a passing grade. With complete confidence he said it wouldn't be an issue and we started to get to work. 3 months later I took the exam for a second time and passed with a 78/100. If you are serious about a career in Real Estate and want to pass this exam I would 100% recommend working with Araz regardless of your level of knowledge.

Nimbus is GREAT!!!!! Excellent program, excellent people and a lot of fun to boot…read more From my experience, the school lived up to everything they said. The small classes are great as everyone gets a chance to get their hands on the board in each class, and the teachers have time to discuss any questions you may have and to reinforce the lessons on anything you may need extra help with. All of the teachers are still working in the business outside of the school, so you not only get opportunities to work with them and bands in school, but you also get opportunities to work with them outside of school on their own projects. You start from square one, things as simple as wrapping cables and how a mic should be put onto a mic stand, and work your way up to where you will be able to record a full band then edit, mix and master what you've recorded. And not just once, you'll be working on your own projects and class projects and then helping anyone and everyone with their projects as well. If you are really keen you can pretty much just live at the school and work on your craft 24 hours per day. In addition to class time, you will have access to the studios after school that you will be scheduled for and usually you'll be able to get more than your scheduled times as some students don't fully utilize their studio times and you can scoop them up. You can also combine times with other students. At one point in time I had a weekend where I spent more than 50 hours recording bands over a weekend with a number of different people. Totally exhausted by the end but it was great! Forget about normal hours and a normal life when you sign up. You'll be in school during the times you have chosen and in studio as often as you can get in. In my mind there were only two times of day, in school or sleeping. lol I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to run (be a gopher) at a local studio when Matthew Good was recording Lights of Endangered Species (my name is in the liner credits) and was also asked to work with one of the instructors with a band called We Need Surgery that you will be hearing about in the new year. This was all during my time in school. If you're good (and the timing is right) you might even be able to go to Garth Richardson's private studio to work with bands. At the moment there are about 6 students who are rotating while he and one of the instructors work with a new band. Not something you'd get at most schools. I did check out other schools before I signed on with Nimbus, but it was only at Nimbus where you never just sit in a classroom taking notes, you are ALWAYS in a studio. Yes, there are lots of notes, you will generally spend the first hour of every class writing them down and discussing them and then jumping in to put them into action. It's a great way to learn.

I am a current student of the Music Business program, and enjoying every minute of it. The small…read moreclasses allow for focused learning and in-depth discussion, the teachers are extremely helpful and hands on. The best part about this course is that its not books and notes, its real life experience. You leave Nimbus with a resume, not just a certificate. The school is like a small community of musicians, that all help each other out to reach their goals. The business students team up with the production students, the production students find musicians, and everyone works together. Overall there are many, many reasons that you should consider Nimbus, and many more reasons you should go. Going to Nimbus was the best decision I ever made.

My daughter had a terrible experience at Blanche Macdonald. She was dealing with mental health…read morechallenges and received NO real support from the school. When she reached out for help and understanding the response from Pamela was consistently dismissive, lacking both empathy and any practical solutions. After being rushed through the admission process without properly being informed about the timing and processing of student loans all during a period of disrupted mail service my daughter was left financially unprepared and this added unnecessary pressure. She made several attempts to connect with financial department however went weeks before any sort of reply. Despite being very upfront about commuting from Vancouver Island we were reassured that this wouldn't be an issue, Blanche claimed other students had done it before. However when ferries were shut down or delays occurred- things entirely out of her control there was zero understanding or flexibility. No accommodations were made and attendance policies were rigid to the point of being punitive. This school and program operates as if students don't have lives or challenges outside of the classroom. The serious lack of compassion, poor communication, and inflexible structure make it a deeply flawed and poorly managed institution. I would NEVER recommend Blanche Macdonald to anyone - especially students who may need even the slightest amount of support.

My review is purely for the Facial service here by the students that I had last month in January…read more It's going to have both good and bad highlights, but overall I was very happy and I would return. Just a quick note: if you are very shy about being in groups of people, or want a private room to yourself with an esthetician, then this environment may not be for you. PS, I am in no way affiliated with Blanche, nor do I study at Blanche. I don't even work in beauty. My best beauty routine is putting on lipstick and running out the door with uncombed hair. Anyway, I was searching on the internet for "cheap facials" because I like to be very frugral, and when I asked around on Facebook where I could find cheap facials, people told me to search up beauty schools for student facials. Since these are students, you're going to have realize they do make mistakes and are learning. For example, while I was getting my facial done, other estheticians (and maybe mine too) were dropping stuff. It kind of breaks the peaceful atmosphere, but I'm not going to fault anyone for it. They're training on the job and maybe they're a little nervous. We were all once students too. The Good: * $30 for a 90 minute facial, total comes to $31.50 after tax. I left a $5 tip for the student, although I don't know if other clients tipped. * professional receptionists at the front, left me phone reminders for the appointment * had a polite and friendly esthetician student The Not-So-Good: * you are led into a shared room full of other women (not your own room) for your facial. These other women are getting facials and massages. Anyway it was a bit of a surprise to see this, but not a big deal for me * no real changing room, you change in the washroom and they give you a shallow small basket to put your clothes into. Summary: Overall, don't be so picky here when you're paying $30 for a facial. Professional spas out there are charging $70 - $120 for 90 minutes. So you're getting an excellent deal and you're aware that these are students in training. The esthetician student was excellent and very nice, so I would say I would definitely return. As for body massages, maybe when I feel more confident about my body before I enter the group room for that. :)

I just graduated from here with a BA in Psychology. It changed a lot over the years. When I first…read morestarted there, it had just gotten the university title. Most students were only there to get some courses and then transfer to UBC/SFU. It had a college feel to it. It was sort of embarrassing to admit that I was attending here. Five years later the place has really grown. The psych department is amazing. More people are coming in with the intent of earning a degree instead of just 1 or 2 years. Proud to call Kwantlen my alma mater. Richmond Campus is sort of old and outdated, but it has come a long way and is under major renovations now. Every time construction happens, it improves the look and feel of the place by 200%. Surrey campus is more up to date. Even the oldest building is well-maintained. Another huge improvement is that they now have more upper level courses in Richmond. Its still not the most prestigious university,but I did a fours year degree in just over five years and it only cost about $20 000. I was making just enough to cover my tuition which means no student debt for me. You could not get that anywhere else!

I paid the early…read morebird rate of $142 which is perhaps a little bit much, and probably what prevents me from giving it 5 stars. The instructor (Ross) was a good speaker and teacher, and clearly passionate about photography. He was extremely patient with all the different types of Nikons that the students brought and took the time to answer every question thrown his way. Just a couple of small negatives: the classroom was a bit too warm (no windows, typical of warehouse-type photo studios), and there was no advance info on lunch break times & facilities, which would be useful as the course runs from 10 AM to 5 PM. Now, if I could just remember everything we were taught...

I hate to do this but they were completely inflexible and stuck to their guns so I need to call…read morethem out. I registered for the Intermediate Digital Photography course last year, eager to follow up on the Beginner one I'd just completed at Langara, while saving a bit of money. Eager is key, because only after I hastily registered (the course was starting within a few days and I didn't want it to fill up) did I notice the course outline, which was buried in one of the drop-down menus, and saw that there would be a lot of model work, which I had no interest in. So, I called them, less than 30 minutes after registering, and explained myself, but they refused to give me a full refund. Now, the remaining amount was only $30 - something about the company they go through for visa payments - but I'd just donated $30 for half an hour of nothing, and they were completely unwilling to budge and help me out. Did they do anything wrong? No, they followed their policy, but there are always exceptions to rules, and good customer service seeks to understand the big picture, and make clients happy. In this regard, they failed miserably. Instead, they seemed to prioritize making money, and for that reason, they've lost a client for life. I've not booked with them again since, and I never will. Also, I've heard (and just looking at their course outlines by comparison) that they're nowhere near as thorough, or therefore educational, as Langara. Yes, Langara is more expensive, but you get what you pay for. I wish VPW would have made a better impression on me, but they chose to prioritize themselves over their client, and so lost out on both counts.

Sugarrays on Granville, buyer beware, the owner is rude, aggressive, and may have boxers dementia…read more The sales pitch is friendly service, but most member avoid the owner and won't come in if he is there. The staff trainers are good but they all leave after a few weeks or months. The owner will not train anybody. He may know a lot, but so what if he never teaches it. Otherwise, the standard boxing techniques are not allowed for beginner, this leaves lots of confusion as many people already have some training in proper boxing technique. It seems the Sugarrays methods are weird and outdated, not the stuff Freddie roach or Russ Anber use as basic boxing technique or almost all other boxing gyms. The owner insults members and staff in front of all making a very unfriendly space to train, trainers have to hid standard training methods, members are getting frustrated, it is too sad, as it could be a good gym if under better management. Former members sincere comments. If you really want to learn proper boxing , pay a bit more, and go to well know trainers like north Burnaby boxing, griffins, or dynamics or queens bough, or tony pep in new west. East side boxing also should be up and running soon and will likely put Sugarrays out of business or take a lot of members. Also try "Beyond Boxing in east van. The owner really needs some training in sport science at the university level and also some business management skills to boot. Otherwise, some members think the equipment is great - not really have a look at any online retailer of boxing stuff (rival , ringside, canbox,title) modern boxing gyms have more than the old standby equipment.
