After receiving his civil engineering degree, Sharma came to Canada in January to study construction management at George Brown College. He said while he’s very happy with the education and program, he pays around $25,000 in tuition which doesn’t leave much extra money for housing and expenses. He pays around $500 dollars a month to live in the bungalow.
“Just for sleeping, it’s okay, but for studying it’s a terrible place,” he said. “First few months I shared a mattress with somebody because there was no mattress available at that time. After some time, the people, some friends, they collected a mattress from outside, maybe from the street and they placed it there.”
SHAME ON GEORGE BROWN FOR LYING TO FOREIGN STUDENTS!
I had one professor who was incredible – passionate, engaging, knowledgeable, challenging, competent, able to answer all questions thoroughly and understandably. She focused her lectures entirely on whatever questions her students had about the textbook readings from that week, so that class time was used to maximum helpfulness in learning each topic. Sadly, from what I understand, this teacher was mysteriously let go.
The other instructors did not seem to have been trained as teachers. Classes were limited to pre-made PowerPoint presentations, during which the instructor would simply read sections from the textbook out loud to the class. Occasional YouTube videos were thrown in, which we could have watched at home. Classes routinely started late and ended early. Teachers didn’t seem to know the answers to many questions, and sometimes didn’t seem to have read the chapter we were there to cover.
At $350 per class, I don’t think the gamble is worth it, based on how much the classes vary in quality.
I have applied in information systems in business analysis
Suggest me it is better for enrolling
I got a call for wireless network course for september intake. Can anyone give me an idea about how is it? How are the job opportunities.
I got a call for wireless network course for september intake. Can anyone give me an idea about how is it? How are the job opportunities, the college has a co op.
What a lost of time and money i paid for this institute … i really feel sorry i applied for this course and feel glad i didn`t attend any of its full programs.
All of the information i mentioned is original and i have email proving this
I wanted to follow up on email earlier this month to let you know that today we finalized a settlement agreement in a long-standing legal case with students from our International Business Management Program.
This case revolved around language used in the program description in the course calendar and on our web site which stated that students who completed the program would receive “the opportunity to complete three industry designations/certifications in addition to the George Brown College Graduate Certificate”.
The students read this to mean they would graduate with these credentials. We regret that the court ruled that we had committed an unfair practice under the Consumer Protection Act. That decision also establishes a precedent and expectation for all authorized content providers across the college to be explicitly clear in written communications to prospective and existing students. This is especially true when making claims of the benefits of our programs.
Under the terms of the decision, George Brown college will create a settlement fund of $2.72 million to be distributed to the students in the class action. It’s important to note that this settlement will be paid through college insurance.
There was, of course, never any intention to mislead and our commitment to our students has never been in question. But a situation like this provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on what we’re doing and look for ways we can continue to improve.

I successfully completed 2 semester and in 3rd semester they failed me in one course just because I was nervous and couldn’t perform the exercise accurately.
After failing in that course means I have to wait for another year to get back to that program.
What a waste of time.
How illiterate those program organizer leaving no option to student.
In first year they had 55 student and in 2nd year only 10 to 15 actually finishing diploma.
I was international al student at that time and had no experience of new country otherwise I would have sued them.
I had no option to get admission in humber college and finish my program and never opted to work as a personal trainer.
What a waste of time for 2 years but I did understand about health care system in canada.
I will never suggest that program or that college to anyone.
Thanks
1. First week of class, found out the lab was red tagged (T.S.S.A code violation). THIS IS THE COURSE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO TEACH US THE T.S.S.A RULES TO PREVENT THAT IN THE FIELD!!!!!
2. Our professor was absolute s**t for a teacher. Ever single day, for the entire course, he cut the class short by 2 hours, in addition to cancelling the mandatory week classes.
3. The book for the course was made in 1984, no real world troubleshooting, and he basically gave us the answers to pass the T.S.S.A exam.
4. Asked him to allow me to write one of the practice test early, he forgot, then made me write it 2 weeks later, then he lost my answer sheet!
5. When we finally worked in the lab with a safety violation, he decided to move us to another lab that passed. But what he did was a clear violation for the gas codes: firing horribly outdated gas burners in a enclosed room with no exhaust air removal for the burners we used, the burners were connected to an undersized gas hose, and the labs were barely 1 hour long to meet the required hours to write the provincial exam.
George Brown, I had a good experience with the 2 year HVAC program years ago. This GAS 1 program was a massive money scam that left me with no real options for growth as a technician. I will never recommend anyone take this course at George Brown.
You have to consider these advices before you register George Brown College any Business programs, Accounting programs, and DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
1.George Brown college was sued by students for misleading students about international business programs, and students won the case, George Brown college lost the case. The program promised students to be qualified professionals by association but it was not.
2. They get very less transfer credits from university. Business program, and accounting course outlines are very poorly done, and there are so many mistakes for many years, they do not change it.
3.If you look at the program courses, and course outlines, majority of the courses are general courses kept repeating same subjects, so when students graduate, they barely take major courses to be qualified. Watch out.
4. Management force teachers to pass some students who are not successful. Management do that so that students do not leave the school. Truth is management get money from government per student registered. They no longer care to give honest or good quality of service, they do it to secure their money from government.
5. Part-time faculties treated poorly and they do not have place to meet students, they do not have offices. They think their contract more than they think students.
6. Management assign major courses to teachers who have no clue about subject. Do not waste your money.
7. They always do false advertising to public, their recent advertising is that “WE KNOW WHAT EMPLOYER WANTS” Don’t get fooled by that they do not treat their own staff with respect, they are treated very poorly. They need to learn it themselves before they teach you. It is a false advertising.
8-Managment do not care about students need, administrative department work very poorly. I heard with my own ears that administrative staff at accounting program swear at students.
Choose it wisely. Be smart. Some students choose it because of downtown, be smart investor, and choose it carefully.
GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE IS THE WORST COLLEGE
THE STJAMES AND CASA LOMA IS THE WORST
FOLKS WHY DO THEY GIVE SO MANY ADVERTISE MENTS THEY DONT GET STUDENTS
DONT GO THERE
SAVE UR MONEY
If you already have a degree or college diploma don’t bother enrolling as you are better off picking up the textbook and reading it on your own time. Additionally really think about what program you enroll in. There are some students that seem to think having only a college diploma in accounting is going to get them into accounting which seems unrealistic as most employers want a minimum of Masters Degree in accounting. That said it is overall a decent college experience but you are likely going to have to work to find the more interesting aspects and opportunities they have available.
I had a couple negative experiences throughout my time, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. In my first year or so, I found that the administration staff were below average and that two of my professors (one of whom was fired after that semester, the other left after that year too. Outside of that my experiences at George Brown, especially in class/lecture, were mostly positive.
I’m going to assume that the majority of people who are commenting negatively on this website about George Brown College didn’t graduate or complete their program. Since graduating from George Brown, I’ve had multiple interviews and been offered multiple well-paying jobs because of their past experience with GBC graduates and how well trained and prepared they are for the real-world. You are also offered the option of transfering to Ryerson University after completion of your program where you can complete a degree program in only two years. They did as they advertised and have helped almost all of my friends from my program who I’ve stayed in touch with get jobs in one of the major business fields or move on to University.
Anyone who’s thinking about taking anything at the School of Business, make sure you have at least one class with the following professors’: Lori Futterer, Jacqui Cook, Barry Wallace and Nick Kenyeres; they are the best professors that I had at my time at GBC and really care about their students and their education. They all have tons of real life experience in different areas of marketing and offer a ton of support to all students. They are tough and expect a lot from their students in the way of projects, attending class, etc., but are probably the best professors you can get.
1. You already work in the field.
2. If you know someone who can get you a job
3. If you already have a university degree and just need the diploma for certification reasons
Otherwise, you won’t get any support and you still have to pay outrageous membership fees and pay for continuing education courses in order to be qualified to apply for jobs.
Complete waste of time and money. I should have went to U of T at least a degree in any field is respected.
