Stay away from this college. They are late on everything. I mean months to years late either to call you back, give you your money back, give you your diploma, give you the right learning material, I usually don't right bad reviews but if I known how this college operates I would have stayed far away. They are only in this for the money. Give your time to a college that values your time and money

is an administrator at a private college allowed to poke me hard 4 times in a row??? 👎 No, an administrator at a private college is not allowed to poke you hard, or in an unwelcome manner, multiple times in a row. Such behavior is considered unwanted physical contact and can constitute bullying, harassment, or a violation of personal boundaries.

I wanted to let the dust settle until I posted this and after I got my money back from the college.

I would NOT recommend Edison College. I tried to do my Community Support Worker diploma there. My start date was June and I was supposed to finish in January 2026.

Here were the main problems I experienced:

Former classmates not getting their diplomas until many months after graduation.

Classes would routinely be inaccessible on Google Classroom. Our first teacher was amazing; however with no notice they fired our first teacher. This lead to our prior marks not being graded for WEEKS and missing an entire module because they didn’t have a replacement.

The second problem was we signed a contract in which it advertised we could choose a $500 gift card to Best Buy or a laptop and also a complimentary $1250 back for completing the course. When I checked off the Best Buy gift card that I signed for they said they didn’t do it anymore. For the laptop they also never told students we had to pay for shipping in order to receive the laptop. One of my classmates had a laptop sent to him that was not usable and the warranty date was over a year past.

The third issue is any time we reached out for assistance and support there would be A) different people as the others were fired or quit and B ) no response period.

Fourth issue is because we went almost a month without a replacement teacher; not only did we not get our marks back but we also didn’t go through the module thus not learning anything. It was super disheartening considering this is a passion for a lot of people and it’s frustrating when you pay $15K and not get what you paid for.

There are other issues but these are the main problems.

I ended up not finishing the diploma program due to all of the issues.

I applied to be a student and paid my first installment a month early because I was told that I could only get my laptop two weeks after paying. Then I was told that they couldn't document my payment until my first day of classes. The more that I spoke with them the less professional they seemed and I'm still waiting on my refund no matter how many times I request it. Now I've gotten a form in my emails to sign to receive my laptop but all I want is my money back and to be withdrawn as a student. I'll be going to the better business bureau if I have to.

I strongly advise against investing any money in this college. My husband has been attempting to contact the director for months regarding an important issue, yet she continues to ignore his phone calls and emails. Despite the significant amount of money we have spent on this institution, we have received no support or resolution.

Additionally, my husband was out sick with COVID, and ever since, the college has treated him unfairly. This level of unprofessionalism from the director, Rachel McPherson, is unacceptable. Furthermore, the secretary, Brenda, was unable to assist us or schedule an appointment with the director. When I attempted to escalate the matter by reaching out to the college president, I was not provided with any contact information. Instead, the director herself advised me to “Google” the president’s contact details, which is highly unprofessional.

For anyone considering this institution, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a better educational experience.

I have not received my referral fee despite multiple follow-ups. If you are considering referring someone to this school, I would advise caution, as there seems to be significant difficulty in processing referral payments. Additionally, I was asked to create an invoice for the referral fee, which should be their responsibility, and was also asked for my SIN number, which I find concerning. I have been redirected to several individuals without any resolution to this matter. Based on my experience, I would rate this service 0 stars.

I have recently completed my diploma in Edison college. The campus itself is beautiful, with lots of green spaces and modern study facilities and their job fairs have been incredibly helpful for landing internships. Tutoring services and academic advisors are always available to help students succeed.

Thanks to Mrs. Rachael.McPherson and Mrs. Laura to be supportive and helpful. 😊

Stay away from this college by all means. The director Rachael McPherson is utterly rude, a liar, and very unprofessional. I scheduled a meeting with her, and upon arrival she did not introduce herself, no handshake or anything. I wouldn’t have known who she was if I didn’t see her name tag. She would gaslight you, cut you off whenever given the chance to speak, and could not answer my questions. She also would repeat her self often and make no sense. I asked for the president of the college contact information so I can file a complaint, but she could not give me his information. This lady is incompetent in her position. They will not support you.
Don’t waste your money or time on this place.

Zero stars director will gaslight you, she is a bully. Textbooks are inaccurate and American. Teachers just read off PowerPoints and don’t actually teach anything. When you ask for help you get either ghosted or told to review the PowerPoint. Poor scheduling and class structure. They don’t give rubrics on assignments, nor do they give feedback on assignments.

School gives off diploma mill vibes, it’s a shame there are not more public education options on Vancouver Island, as this school charges an exceptional amount of tuition for the “education” you will receive.

Reviews can’t be trusted ask students who’ve completed the program. Pretty sure this college must pay people to review, it’s pretty interesting how all the reviews sound the same.

At a recent networking event, I had the pleasure of meeting Rachael McPherson, the new Campus Director of Edison College. From the moment I spoke with her, it was abundantly clear that Rachael is a true visionary and passionate champion for the institution. With a warm and engaging demeanor, she eloquently described the remarkable transformation that has taken place under the college's new management team in an impressively short period of time. Rachael's infectious enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to the school's mission were palpable, as she detailed the innovative programs and renewed sense of energy and optimism now permeating the campus. She spoke at length about the college's ambitious plans to expand its academic offerings, enhance the student experience, building powerful community partnerships - changes that are already yielding incredibly positive results. Listening to Rachael outline the bold vision for Edison College's future, I found myself eagerly anticipating the incredible strides this institution is poised to make. Her passion, leadership, and transformative vision have left me eager to see what this college will accomplish next, and I very much look forward to exploring opportunities to collaborate with Rachael and her team in the months and years ahead.

Don't bother. Waste of time, energy and money. The whole place is run my juvenile amateurs teaching American information, with outdated, inaccurate textbooks by instructors with no domain experience in most topics that they instruct. The director will yell, swear and gaslight you if you speak up. You do get a free backpack though.

It is a good program to transition from my current career to a new job. I have been working as a healthcare aide for many years. It was a great choice for experience with Edison College. I met wonderful instructors during my lessons in each subject. There were some misunderstandings between students to instructors but it was nice to fix the problems. What I like most is that I have wonderful classmates helping each other. I have been learning from them because I have been dealing with the language barrier quite a bit, but I did it through with all of my classmates and instructors. Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
