Avoid like the plague!
My sister attended Westervelt a few years ago and raved about it, but clearly things have changed. I graduated from the executive administration program and was extremely disappointed with my experience.
The smaller class sizes were ideal, but the courses themselves felt like I was back in high school. I’m nearly 40 years old, so this felt like a waste of my time. The admin staff was not particularly friendly or helpful and I personally felt neglected by my teachers. I missed a few days due to a death in the family and they were attempting to guilt trip me.
There has been little to no support from employment services and I’m still jobless.
I don’t recommend attending this college.
The quality of many of the Police related subjects was acceptable, but the filler courses like typing, and especially English, were horrifying. Our teacher had only ever finished a college level of english herself, and had not gone to teacher’s college. I found myself correcting her grammar and phrase usage all too often.
There is but one saving grace for the entire program. The instructors. Almost all of which were successful ex-police officers with a lot of experience and knowledge. Even still, none of them were qualified teachers, and some would literally have three hour long sessions with nothing but talking about how amazing they thought they were.
One of the bigger problems (there would never be enough space on this website to list them all) is the massive pricetag that comes along with the program. Fanshawe offers police foundations at somewhere in the $2,000/year range, for a two year course. Westervelt offers a less versatile, less accredited, and less useful course for $16,000 for a single year. this includes tuition ($14,000), uniforms ($1,000(which you can’t keep. they take them back at the end of your 6 months with it)), and books ($1,000 (you aren’t allowed to buy used books. buying their brand new books is mandatory))
The two worst things about this school, are the fact that it is a private school and the administration. Since its a private school, they aren’t funded by the government. they are free to allocate money how they please. and as long as you still fork over your monthly payment, they will string you along, even if you didn’t pass any of your classes from the semesters before. up until the end of the year when they fill you in with “Thanks for your effort, but due to that class you fail in the first term, you can’t graduate.” The administrative staff will do literally anything to keep you paying, while at the same time, will do nothing to help you get through the year.
In conclusion, the very talented salesmen will promise you a tantalizing career after a short stay with them, but as soon as you sign on the dotted line, the monster that is private education will drain you of your finances, and kick you to the proverbial curb.
Thank you.
And also, wasn’t a big fan of the school.

This school is simply a waste of time and money. The sales person motive is to get as many students enrolled as possible.
“HAHA… Thank god for me finding this site. I’m going to take the extra time and try to get myself into Fanshawe instead. Maybe take a few upgrade classes at Wheable before I apply for Sept 2013.
And to think I almost got duped by that glorified salesman Gardner.”
This is more than likely another fake blog! please research the Validity of this (BILL GATES) really? I don’t think so! This is violation if proven not to be Bill Gates of S.403(1) Identity Fraud!
Remove this now!
And to think I almost got duped by that glorified salesman Gardner.
It may end up taking twice as long, but it will be worth it in the end.
The instructors, many of whom are NOT trained as teachers don’t have the scope of knowledge or skills (for lack of a better term) that a teacher should have. This is a SERIOUS red flag. They may know the subject that they’re teaching, but can they actually teach? YMMV with that one. They also play favorites and ‘bully’ those that they don’t like, if not that, then they just won’t care if you have a concern or question.
The NACC (National Association of Career Colleges) or whatever they call themselves is a self governing agency. They make it sound like “national accreditation” from the NACC is better than regional accreditation, which is what a public college would be.
I have never been so disappointed in anything in all my life.
Preying on the desperate, shame on you Westervelt! I’ll bet the founders of the school would be spinning in their graves if they knew the sorry state of affairs that this place is in.
