Not a good college to study Medical lab tech course as the teacher Mr Issa is one of the worst unprofessional arrogant and rude teachers showing no respect to students and lackes good teaching abilities. They have better teachers but this man is the favorite of the management. Also the course material is not structure properly. Also this teacher is very impatient. Better colleges for this course are Medix college and Centennial college. read more

it is the worst disrespectful, below the standard of practice. I don't know how such a college is accredited to graduate dental hygienist below the standard of practice. I was a patient there and I feel very bad for the students there who were treated as a piece of garbage from their suprvising instructors and the horrible dentist. it is just a toxic environment. I got in fight with the dentist there as i don'tknow what type of my denture is. I hate this place. don't recommend it read more

Unprofessional, toxic, lying people. Broken equipment. Leaking roof. Do not waste your time and energy.

I signed up for their Addictions and Mental Health programme in August 2023, hoping to find my way in a field that meant a great deal to me personally (having struggled with addictions). It is, admittedly, a new programme--and the two external counsellors I showed the curriculum to, a board-certified psychiatrist and an addictions counsellor who had helped me tremendously, each said the programme looked impeccable. So far so good. The problem was in the execution. Anyone attending this should be aware that Oxford sees you only as a cash cow. Your cohort will be made up of 95% brand new immigrants desperately seeking a new life in Canada, barely having been north of the 49th long enough to know that hockey is played on ice and with sticks. Their English is decent to poor--certainly far better than my Urdu, Bengla, Gujarat, Igbo, Arabic, or Hindi, but they are way, way over their heads. I was THE ONLY STUDENT to buy textbooks. Let that sink in. They could not have read them had they purchased them. Instead, the class relied upon Powerpoints, and upon a WhatsApp group which shared answers during exams. The cheating was rampant and total. The instructors were all, to a person, out of their league. One was a gifted professional in the field of pharmaceutical inventory management; another was a fine woman who was a beloved fourth-grade teacher in Africa, and who was--at her best--a surrogate mom-figure to many of my African cohort. A third was a genuinely talented and smart undergraduate, with a degree in neuroscience from Brock. I think she has a decent career ahead of her. She has no business teaching human development, let alone addictions studies. No one involved has any experience with counseling, with addictions, or even with empathy. What the hell are you doing, Oxford!! I could have taught these classes better, no doubt for half the price. (In fact, I did indeed apply for a job teaching English grammar and composition with these idiots some years prior--never heard a word back. Typical.) Ocford stole a good deal of money, shamelessly, and, perhaps because they knew of my own PhD background, ignored EVERY SINGLE query I had. My assignments were graded, but not usefully. Sometimes I was given low marks for grammar--grammar!!!--but for no actual errors. In the end I received 98% marks, but it was still reported to OSAP that I was a 'weak and terrible student'. Their way of punishing the incorrigible, I guess. Whether Oxford has anything decent to offer in other fields, I cannot say. But be wary. Be very wary. They may just not give a damn. --Dr Anthony Adams, PhD University of Toronto mediaevaldoc@gmail.com read more

I studied dental assistant in oxford college, one year was like a nightmare for me. My teacher was Ms. A... ، she wasn't a doctor but we called her Dr A, She was very bad-tempered, rude, and a very spiteful woman. All the students were restless. We complained to the college but got no response. they are very kind until they get tuition after that they don't care about you read more

I would recommend this school because my experience currently is great the teachers and staff are great. Fast to respond on any situation I've encountered which were simple things like passwords and they are very determine to make you pass . I have no regrets graduating soon hoping to get a great stable job. read more

I am a recent graduate of Oxford College and would like to discuss my experience here as there were quite a lot of issues that arose during my time as a student: -petty behavior from the instructors openly gossiping about students with the class after the students had left the room on multiple occasions -an instructor being dismissed only after the college finding out they were in fact not qualified to be teaching and had been teaching for some time; this shows a clear lack of due diligence on the part of the administration when hiring their instructors and checking their education/references -my medical terminology final exam had been lost twice by the administration's own admission, (happened during the time of losing said first instructor) when I refused to re-write the exam for a third time I was given a random mark of 60% -instructors were habitually late to start class almost daily while there was one time I was late by 10min, due to bad winter weather, (driving daily from keswick - barrie) I was sent home and threatened to be removed by security when I explained this -another student's graduation was delayed by 5wks after she finished the course work due to the administration simply forgetting to place her for her final clinical praxis -there was no sense of organization with our instructors or the administration, at all With the amount of money spent to complete both dental assisting levels at this private career college, we should expect far better from the instructors and the administration. While it may take less time to complete a program like this at Oxford College, I highly suggest anyone looking to enter into a dental assistant program do themselves the favor of attending a program elsewhere because I sure wish I did This review comes on the heels of an email being sent to all recent graduates with the below quote: "As successful Graduates (sic) of Oxford College Barrie, we would love it if you would share that positivity in the form of a Google Review." Well, my experience regardless of graduating has not been a positive one in any way, shape or form, and I would rather potential students know the truth about this college than have to experience what I and many other former students have had to experience. College is supposed to be a fun and rewarding time, this was absolutely nothing but a struggle. Do yourself a favour and read the actual reviews on Glassdoor.ca for Oxford College Barrie. read more

This place feels like a scam. Very high and unfair tuition fees compared to other more legit local colleges. For example, centennial college charges only $5k for Medical Laboratory technician program, while this place charge more than double rate around $13k for similar program! Also don't get dinged by the unfair parking fee! We got $30 CAD mailed from city of Toronto for parking penalty. The owners of this "college" is very greedy for $$! read more

I, Deyschairre R. Weizmann attended Oxford College during the lockdown 2020 and 2021 during "The Pandemic". I'm very happy and proud I used my time wisely during the lockdown. Oxford College prepared very well the teachers for this amazing challenge. It was very hard to be under lockdown at home and adjust to learn online, something I have never done before. I am a graduated from Seneca College, Centennial College, Durham College, Sutherland Chan College, Institute of Holistic Nutrition and McMaster University. I can say now that Oxford College works hard to let students accomplish their goals, accomplish their dreams. Oxford College were every student matters! I was surprised that Oxfords staff knew the name of every single student :) that was impressive to me! we are hundreds of students and they welcome every student by their name, and my name is difficult to remember Deyschairre and they knew it, also students come from all over the world to Oxford and some have long names like mine and Oxfords staff still remember their names! Is not that amazing! Massage Therapy Program has also new equipment!  Massage Therapy is a very intense program, learning online was hard, however I'm proud that I never gave up, and our  teachers Mr. Umar Badar, Former Doctor now is our teacher at Oxford, Mrs. Linda Cox RMT & Bachelor of Science, Sylvia Meister RMT & RPN, Mr. Alex Tokarev RMT with a Bachelor in Physical Education, TCM and continuous programs in Healing and Rehabilitation. Having saying that, implies that Oxford College have outstanding teachers. I love schools, I love to learn and I'm always upgrading my knowledge. My last week at Oxford College was the very best and I am very happy, also I purchased the skeleton Mrs. Linda Cox recommended and if we follow instructions everything comes together at the end of the day! Oxford College have a great team in Health Care and all are High End Professionals! Oxford is for me now where everything comes together! Thank you so very much Oxford College! Sincerely, Deyschairre R. Weizmann Note: I wrote a song during the pandemic lockdown Turning everything into hope to be free again without using a mask. OXFORD COLLEGE also inspired me to accomplish my goals and the college never let me down, this song is special because I was studying at Oxford when I wrote it.

Oxford College is a great school. It's unfortunate that people only leave ratings when they are upset. Facilities are really nice. Teachers are excellent. Most importantly, the staff really care. I highly recommend this school. read more

I attended this school last year and they were not very professional in explaining their policies. They went back on their word about certain policies in the beginning because what they say and what they have written in their student handbook do not match. It is a glorified high school that does not live up to college standards. Rules are made as the day goes and everything is not up for debate because directors will just say that's how it is. Very unprofessional do not recommend. If you fail a few courses they will scam you to take everything again and give you no credit for what is done. However if you kiss butt you can make it through. read more

So I attended Oxford college from 2009 to 2011. I was referred to this school from a previous graduate. During my first two semesters the theory classes were the main focus and there was a lot of at home reading and reviewing to do as the course is condensed. The teachers for the most part were great. They really wanted students to do well and offered help to students who needed it. However, during my third and fourth semester is when evrything started changing. I understand that the instructors have to be strict as we would soon be their colleagues and they wanted to ensure that we are competent enough to continue. I found there were a lot of politics involved and didn't enjoy my experience at this school. I would not recommend this school to another student. read more

I want to say that I am enjoying this school because first of all I like the professors most specially Ms Shazhia but how dis-organize the college made me think not to recommend it to anyone. If not for our instructors we we're lost like we don't know where to go at the start of our modules. I am also dis-appointed on how cheating on exams are so rampant. Using cell phones and even opening notes are everywhere. No wonder students are consistently getting high grades(so unfair on those who gave their best). Some of the students likewise miss classes half of the modules! I am not sure if that's the way they handle their students or maybe I just came to a country where schools imposed penalties and discipline is a must! read more

This school is a nightmare. They were nice until they received my money. It took 3 months to provide the books and scrubs and they lead me to believe that the program has been running since 2004 when it was actually 2011 ( hygiene ran from 2004 not dental assisting ) they still have not provided us with instruments. They have changed the teachers because of how unhappy they were with the rest of the staff especially the hygiene teachers, they are self centered and they disrespect students. They admit students even if they are not qualified, they let students attend only 3 times a week because she paid from her own pocket which is so unfair because everyone else has to be there everyday. They are not registered because they haven't paid their annual fee so some of us could not take our Ontario exam until next year. There are so many more but typing this makes me even more frustrated with the school DO NOT ATTEND IT . I HATE THIS SCHOOL!! read more

Dont go to oxford college, all they want is your money. Clinic Instructors are rude, racist, no respect with the student, embarrass the students in front of client in clinic. Instructors read their slides lectures, mostly a self study coarse. If you failed the exam you have to pay $250 to retake the exam. $100 every 4 hours for extra clinic if you dont meet the requirements. Instructor in clinic always using their cellphone and chatting during clinic hour to slowdown your work at clinic..at the end..you have to pay extra. $100 for every 4 hours clinic. You have to pay and pay for you to survive in this school. If you dont want to get cancer, dont go to this college, you'll get sick due to stress and anxiety. They dont care about their students, all they care about is to get more money from you. Please dont go to oxford college for dental hygiene program. Please. Please. Please never ever intend to go to this school. It is horrible. Instructor lead is very very rude. Treated you like a stupid person. A big racist too. read more
