triOS College Business Technology Healthcare Reviews
May 19, 2018
Let me start off by saying I did not choose Trios. They bought my school out and I was forced to continue there. First off, Trios lied to OSAP by not giving a proper tuition estimate (mine was 9400 but other students had different numbers for the same course) when the tuition was a set 11054. I ended up using my living expenses to pay for books (1500) and fought tooth and nail to have them give us back almost 700 because I proved that they were grossly over charging us.
Our books were extremely late, as well as our scrubs. They f*cked up the timeline of the course instead of listening to my instructors and caused us to learn things without understanding them. They kept changing the end date of first year until they ended on us finishing first year in the middle of August leaving us with only 2 weeks of break before going into second year. They do not follow policy/procedure yet penalize you (as the student) for not doing so.
They like to ignore messages and will avoid you until you corner them face to face and even then will not give you a satisfactory answer. Let me go into detail... Policy: I missed time that according to policy should have been totally excused as it was a valid reason. The director of trios London is named Dianne, and is rightly called the "Ms. that sounds like a you problem” she told me to my face that no my absence was not excused (despite having policy deem it was) which resulted in being terminated from the school due to failing a course that I missed much of and did not have the notes.
Also, before retaking the exam she made me and another student sign a piece of paper saying if we failed she will kick us out. Again, not following policy here but if you’re reading this I’m sure you know all about the handy procedure in your school handbook so I’ll skip that bit. Next, half of the other time that was not accounted for was due to me not being able to get to school because again, I spent ALL of my living expense on the books. (This resulted in me being homeless and missing sometime which is pardoned according to policy but okay Dianne..)
She promised me a bus pass to help and never came through. Thanks for the help, not. Basically, I’m looking for someone that can sit down and listen to the entire story and possibly offer advice to take the school on and get me out of a 12,000 debt that I never would have had to pay if I had not been kicked out. There is so much more to this story but this has been long enough without me going into full detail.
You will be very impressed with the sales pitch in the beginning and they will take care of everything when it comes to OSAP, once I was in that's when I started seeing that particular program that I started is not what the educational consultant described it to be. Web Technologist course sounds good on paper but in reality, it is not worth even a quarter of what they ask for it. Books are useless, and very little is done with the book.
I started in JavaScript corse and was told that modules are not connected at all and that I can start anytime. HTML is a must before javascript, nobody told me that. I am a person with a disability and because of all the unnecessary stress that they put me through within three months, my mental and physical strength deteriorated and my doctor suggested that I take a month off. After a month I was still unwell and needed more time.
They could not accommodate and just withdrew me from the program. Total program cost with books was over $20000 and after 3 months I was stuck with $5200. Javascript course I had to redo because I was catching up with HTML, after that it just became a game of catch up. I tried to work with the school and the Trios Main Office, even spoke with campus director who was very rude and basically said that I have to retake javascript (funny fact is that on javascript exam with the minimum knowledge I scored 97%, three-hour open book and google exam.
I got in touch with trios main office after a survey and they told me to speak to campus director, no followup... I really feel like the lack of honesty and only chasing the money and not really providing make Trios College a scam, I will be following up with the ministry and any other possible free legal help that I can get. Living on low fixed income and having to pay back almost a yearly income for something that caused me so much stress and little knowledge is too much.
If anyone can help in any way please reach out, if you have similar issues with Trios College and have advice please contact me.
P.S Received a letter from the Ministry saying that Trios College put me on academic probation.. 3 Weeks after I got kicked out.
