Trios College Mississauga
Absolutely Terrible organisation. Selling Programs such as Supply Chain Management for over 16k and then providing MS Office basics. Stuff most of us already know.
This school scams OSAP money from Immigrants.
They are giving kick backs to MTCU regulators such as to DIna Waik to shut down complaints.
COMPLETELY CORRUPT
Stay away from the IT program at this school. If you enrol, be prepared to teach yourself everything. If you know too much, the teacher will be rude to you. Save the headaches, time and money and take a reputable online course or invest at Fanshawe.
Hi guys i am interested to take IT professional program at this college but please give me advice for the program at this college is that good college and good program in order to get good career please let me know
Thank you very much
So if you’ve notice Frank and his fake college are masters at giving out fake news. Check out all the Fake reviews online.
“I personally define it [fake news] as completely fake stuff created by people knowing it’s fake, doing it for an economic motive,” she explained. Dina Waik
Was told my program was accredited found out half way through program it was “in the works”. Developed medical condition was hospitalized and had to take two weeks of program they made me restart term and repay. The books cost 1000″s never used them and HAD to buy them. Errors in fiance dept caused me to lose my term 2 student loan, grants and scholarships. I then paid out of my own pocket. I am now paying 38000 in debt back when starting the program the total cost was 14’000 in the end. Was singled out constantly for documented medical related absences while other students were allotted time of to go to Cuba or had intentionally poor and worse attendance that was never acknowledged and they were ushered through school Scot free. Come internship the only support given was what money they could continue to get out of me… I quit a 12 year to career, busted my ass to finish and all I’ve gotten out of it is near sight of a nervous breakdown.
Couldn’t believe how bad their paralegal program in the London Ontario location. The teachers are not lawyers like they are at Fanshawe. They treat everyone like bad children and are condescending. They teach stuff that other schools teach at the law clerk level. Its was a waste of time and money.
By “DO NOT ENTER” I’m not kidding. I don’t want to take your time. let me be straight forward. Before you pay they treat you like a gentleman, but as soon as they receive the payment, they treat you like dirt. They don’t even answer your messages and calls. I enrolled in IT (A+ and Security+). Stephen Chin-Fook, the education counselor did misinform me a lot. For instanse he didn’t tell me that the classes are all held afternoons. Before paying he said they have morning classes, but after the money was payed, he said that their professor has resigned and I had to go to their other campus at Scarborough and that all the classes have changed to the evenings. As I was budgeted from a government organization, I could not cancel my enrollment. Steve knew this that I was budgeted by the government, so he took the best advantage he could do from me. They lie to you by misinforming you or not telling the whole reality. (They didn’t tell me that if I don’t take a whole diploma and take just a semester, I’ll not be eligible for employment support. This was something I understood AFTER finishing the semester.) After I told my complaint to the manager, Lynda Eng, about Steven Chin-Fook who was the education counselor, I understood after some emails that they are united behind the scene. So forget about complaining and customer support. I even called the trios head office directors but they, too, did not answer me. About their professors my first one (A+ at Toronto campus, Jayson) was good but he did not attend 2 sessions and he asked us to just read and review the book at the 2 last sessions. His method was to open the book and read from it. The second professor (for Security+, Ray at Scarborough campus) was very very fantastic. Actually I love him so much that this is the only thing that made me not to regret the whole experience with trios. Please read their reviews on internet to see what others say. As far as I could find there are even many students who have sued this college. If you want my experience, just don’t enter Trios college. Go to other colleges. I’m warning you, their customer support is 0 AFTER you pay the money.
I am currently going through the escalation process and looking to cancel my agreement (contract) with them under violations of the Consumer Protection act and the ministry of training, colleges, and universities act. This college is absolutely a scam and I would recommend more people take legal action. They practice blatantly false advertising inappropriate contracts and a strongly manipulative approach to management. Within my case to them more insidious grievances are outlined but be aware: when dealing with this school upper management is more interested in saving face then righting a wrong.
I am not surprised at what i just red here on this website. This is a scam college. Don’t go in there unless you want to finish all your money. I don’t know who give permission to this colleges to be in business.I am determined to go trough with my investigation until i found out why they scammed me. After i was told that they will look after me.And gave me a whole bunch of lies instead.
Tried repeatedly to get info on upcoming programs. I found the receptionist scripted and when I was finally put through to “Lou” he was very condescending and not friendly whatsoever. I made an appt to go in to see them because they won’t elaborate without me going in. To be honest I really was interested in their program, over Fanshawe but the feeling I got over the phone each time I called made me really uncomfortable. I am not going to pursue this College which is unfortunate because their start dates and program is exactly what I wanted. I just think that how it begins is usually how it ends and if I am already feeling awkward with their approach I don’t see that changing.
After saving for a long time, I decided to ‘go back’ to school. Trios got my savings and my return to school got me nothing but regret. The private college took my money which was way over priced and returned me with a lot of expensive books (that I cannot re-sell) and useless knowledge they didn’t even teach me, as the teachers knew none of the curriculum. Came out with high grades that meant nothing to the working force. High sales tactics had me signed up before I knew it and regretted it since the start of the first class. Go to an a college that is known and respected, triOS was a joke. Program I signed up for wasn’t even accredited till half way to graduation, didn’t tell me that when I signed up. Make sure what ever you take it is college accredited.
I am currently a student, I have found that trios feeds off the immigrants, single parents, and elderly, they offer plenty of information that is not close to what they actually do, books are estimated at $1600 but cost $30 a book over half of the books are just projects they have photocopied from past students work. As the instructors read each page word for word (which I could do myself) certifications for IT are paid for but the instructors teach you stuff you don’t need to know as opposed to the stuff you do need to and they charge way over price for rewriting exams. Courses are basically just a rehash of the previous course, anyone that has been upset with the program or instructors or disagreed seems to have been “terminated” and as some students have wanted to quit trios has told them they will put them in a different course no problem then when the person has waited long enough they say your basically left with your debt and can’t go back. They don’t inform you of the $500 cancellation fee. As well as for the gaming program, they state your laptop is part of your tuition only to find out it’s a real iffy idea, everything is evaluated in house so there’s no one actually inspecting stuff standards are all over the place they maintain and threaten grades but even doing no work everyone receives at least a pass (which is 65%) it seems that anyone who aha quit is stilling being screwed around by the school, they preach about safety even in a parking lot yet none of the staff follows the rules of the parking lot, snow days were hell when you show up sit for 2-3 hours to finally receive an email from your instructor that they aren’t coming in because of a blizzard even though you drove through it yourself and then are expected to stay. Overall I’ve been there for a while and have seen at least 4-5 students get completely screwed. They promise that finishing year one lowers your debt by 10,000$ and second year is 7,000$ i am becoming severely cautious of this fact. The fact no one has shut this school down baffles me. I’m sorry but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone saying that any complaints you have and such are never actually handled, I’ve went out of my way to buy extra books with my osap to learn some of the courses I’ve taken. They also make claims that you get paid internship which apparently you don’t unless you get it through them. The jobs they bring up are companies looking for university degrees and they don’t update as often. If I wasn’t so far in debt up to my eyeballs I would quit but they’d screw me on that too. The IT students have learned that they could have just paid $30 for the books they give them and write the certs without going $50,000 in debt. Everyone has their own opinion, but going to this school has made me feel like I was dragged through the mud and am being strung with debt.
Short and sweet. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I am 3/4 of my way through the paralegal course with a avg of 96%, yet after doing a little job shadowing I am NOT ready for a career in this field. I am close to 20,000 in debit and shortly will be entering a very competitive field. I take some of the blame for not doing more research… Yes most of the staff are helpful and friendly…….The books are a waste!! old outdated information, examples of proper paper work that the instructors tell you to ignore.
Just weigh the options! Maybe that extra half year to a year in Community College wasn’t such a bad idea
Trust me, private career colleges are a total waste of money. The programs are not even close to providing the level of education required to find a job in the field. They rely on high pressure, misleading tactics to dupe the gullible into paying high fees for an essentially worthless program. The positive reviews look very much like shill postings.
Trios college shouldn’t be your option. Their “technology” programs are so behind of what’s happening in the market. You probably won’t find a job in the industry as a Trios college graduate, and if you do – it will be in a small business with PCs from the stone age.
Content of course was very weak. Took “Supply Chain and Logistics” and really don’t feel I am qualified at the end of the course to do any job in that field. Entire class did extremely well with similar marks not making the effort I put in feel any better then those that put less effort in. Tried for entry level positions in jobs related to field and employers were only interested if there was an internship. Without interniship there is no way to get foot in the door. (Very pricey interniship of $3000)
A class action lawsuit alleging a Toronto college misled students about what they would get out of a business program has received certification from a judge to proceed.
Two former students of George Brown College’s international business management program allege it didn’t have the ability to confer the industry designations it promised. They launched the lawsuit in October 2008, seeking $10 million in damages and an Ontario Superior Court judge has now certified it as a class action suit representing 119 former students.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
The students say they paid as much as $11,000 to attend the eight-month program. The calendar said the program would provide students with “the opportunity to complete three industry designations/certifications” in addition to a graduate certificate from the college, according to the students’ statement of claim.
Upon completion they learned they wouldn’t be receiving the industry designations referred to in the course calendar, the students allege. In his decision, Justice George R. Strathy said most students would have read the calendar description and that the prominence given to the industry designations would suggest they were significant.
“A class action will provide access to justice to a vulnerable group of students, many of whom are from different lands and culture,” Strathy wrote. “Class members may lack the individual resources, initiative and sophistication to pursue legal action on their own and may be intimidated by the legal process.”
Of the 119 former students, 78 were international students who don’t live in Canada — most of them coming from either China or India.
I went here for a tour a few years ago, and next thing I know, they had swindled me into signing up. Very sneaky and underhanded sales techniques they have going on here. Go to a real school, you’ll thank yourself in the end.
If video game design is what you want to go for, I’m not sure any uni course offers it, at least not in the London area, but I do know there’s a school out in Vancouver that offers it. – Digipen. Last I saw, it was supported by Nintendo, and I think, Electronic Arts (EA Games) which is obviously a good thing.
The school itself is built around making money for themselves, and thus the students suffer because of it. I’m currently in the VGDD course and not one student in the entire class room is happy with this course. Unqualified instructors, over priced tuition, and in the end you’re not going to get any good experience or diploma in the end.. Take the time and go to a better institution, I’ve now had to sacrifice two possible years at a university because of it.
Don’t buy their lies of an accelerated program. It isn’t at all, they provide mickey mouse content, copy-pasted textbook material, and instructors that aren’t even experienced in the respectful fields. They use the argument “you put in what you get,” you will get 1000x the benefit by going to a REAL college/university setting. They use this excuse on hard working individuals for their success, but in the end they end up working for the college itself or are making minimum wage jobs because their diplomas don’t mean a thing. If you are a student or anyone desperate to get a new education, take the time and get a REAL education at a public college or university. It will pay off and it will be something you can be proud of.
All in all, this school is an institution on greed, not quality. They use fear tactics to keep you in the school and hide information from students on how to act against them.
If you find yourself in a situation such as a private college that is scamming you in Canada, go to http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/private.html and get all the information you can and act! This school will only lead you to debt.
This is a love-hate relationship. triOS has some instructors that are amazing, and others that are just pitiful. This school offers a great environment for students who learn quickly and “independently”. If you happen to be a one of those unlucky students who may require guidance and assistance as part of your learning process, you’ll likely wind up frustrated and disappointed. Again, not all instructors are terrible. triOS tends to hire instructors who cannot help the students in need. triOS promises that their programs are ensured to “satisfy your educational requirements and exceed your expectations.” HAHAHAHA. You’re on your own if you can’t grasp something.
