The facility is literally falling apart, and the equipment is outdated or broken. The radiology lad films are literally stapled together or taped down. At any given time there is maybe 1 scanner working for the entire school to process their films. The lights in preclinical fall on students, and the dexters jaw’s are broken or the latch won’t work to keep them upright. When anything is said to teachers, their hands are tied because the owners DO NOT want to use any of their profits to fix anything.
SOME of the teachers are great, but on the other hand you have teachers that are cruel and seem as though they hate teaching. One in particular had a petition started ,by the students, because she was so mean that people would cry after encounters with her. I’m talking full on breakdown cry.
If you expect any extra help, you will have to pay for it. This includes paying 200$ for makeup lab time if your patients don’t show up or 90$ for tutoring, and list goes on. There are an abundance of staff with fancy titles at the school that seem to do little to nothing at all. We have a librarian for a library we don’t even have, and the education assistant has never helped a single student I know. It should have been apparent when I met the admission coordinator how bad the staff would be. The admission coordinator was not only unwelcoming, but lacked basic comprehension skills when exchanging information via email and was unable to answer basic questions I had about the program.
If you still choose to attend this school, be cautious that you must be in charge or your education and rely on yourself to problem solve.

Was a student at this school- worst decision of my life. Spend your money at another institution, not worth finishing 6 months sooner. The owners dont want to put any money into the school even the teachers complain. Building is old and broken down in a ex-bowling alley, currently shared with Thirsty Duck. Not enough parking, washrooms, lockers or equipment. They pay more attention to enforcing dress code and the colour of your socks ( even underwear) than they do to actually making sure we had enough supplies to work with, repeatedly had problems with being given the wrong exams, computers crashing or them trying to blame you for missing equipment! The lunchroom is cramped, can barely find space to eat, no fridges, 30 min line for microwave every day- they actually used this space for our grad ceremony… Half our class did not even graduate on time because they are so understaffed and we had to keep our clients waiting for 30 minutes every time to get checked! The teachers apart from two or three expect you to know everything right off the bat and make you feel like an idiot for asking questions, not a healthy learning environment at all. PLEASE consider another option, this “school” is an overpriced, mismanaged, hell hole
Overall Score: (1/5.00)

If you wish to be treated as less than a human being, this is the school for you! I can’t get over how rude and unprofessional certain instructors are. In the morning I will pass them in the hallways and say “Good morning, How are you?” and I am greeted with a fowl face and a simple grunt… The program director has the emotional intelligence of a stone and clearly does not care about the students as she has actually stated to us before. She consistently speaks badly about other students and then preaches to us about professionalism. If you also like being treated like you are in kindergarten, constantly being monitored, and talked down to, you will love this school. The woman who works in the sterilization department is a complete bag who screams at the top of her lungs at whoever is passing by and gets away with it. I have asked her several times to speak to me like I am a human being and give me the same respect I show her… ya not going to happen in this lifetime. The extremely unfortunate thing is that the instructors don’t do anything about it either and say it’s just in her nature. If it was in one of the students “nature” to be rude do you think they would get away with it? No. A monkey could do her job and she is easily replaceable, why they haven’t replaced her by now I will never understand. The reviews below are absolutely true. If you have a strong accent there are some teachers who will just get fed up and angry with you because they can’t understand you and definitely do not stand up for yourself. I only wish more people would come on here and read the reviews before spending $40,000 to be treated like dirt.

VCDH collected all pitched in Canada, good future with pitching hygienists
They don’t play by the rules. They don’t care about the students. They will always fail at least 8 students in every first semester for preclinical so the students each pay the 100$ fee to retest. It’s extra money.
What legitimate institution would cash postdated cheques early? VCDH isn’t a legit institution, it’s a cookie cutter hygienist factory , you will loose marks for not wearing you badge (sounds familiar ?) , for wearing ankle socks or wearing a sweater with a logo on it. Some teachers are nice but most of the whole program is a sad example of abuse of power, lack of regulation and is preventing this fields progression into this day and age. It’s 2019 not 1919. Ankles aren’t inappropriate anymore.

Btw, I forgot to tell you that don’t worry about the studying materials and exams since the instructors there sell the questions for midterm and final exam during the week before these exams but with high price for sure . Since this sell business is hidden and under the table , you can get these stuff through Canadian white students because instructors trust only those. So be smart and understanding the game in this hell …. you can get easily your certificate and be hygienist by your money. … pay money, get certificate … the experience don’t worry about it , you will get it when you will get a job as many instructors said that

Don’t come to this college… they steal your money only. Instructors so mean .the owner think to grap your money only . Invest your money in other college.

I don’t have words fit with VCDH . They are much more dirty than the dirtiest thing in our life.
Do not go here. Save your money and pick a different career or go to a public school. You will regret it and it will be a huge waste of your investment.
(great choice!), why didn’t you just build us a new building from scratch like the Toronto school?. Second, the owners try to care about the students, but mainly they care about their pockets. Thirdly, whoever runs the school, keeps on BS’ing to the students how perfect everything is. Lastly, if you want to pay 40k for a bowling alley, come on in! and RIP.

DO not waste your time or money with this school. Attend a public dental hygiene program, were the instructors are fully qualified, and don’t just have Diplomas.
If you are not white, do not choose hygiene a s a profession. It is a friendly advise based of the experience, it does not matter how good you are, how smart you are, you are not white.
Overall, having graduated from this school my education and knowledge is up to par. However, getting to this point has been very mentally draining.
CONS: Tuition fee is pricy. Reception staff is the worse ever!!!
