I did my research on Reeves and I didn't trust my gut. I regret sighing up with them. I work full time at a job that requires ALOT of my time. I'm talking 12 to 16 hrs. of my day Mon-Fri and I'm also on call every 5 weeks. I also don't work in the city I live in. I'm dispatched to another city almost 3 hrs. away every work day. Did I realize this was going to be a heavy work load. Yes. I believed I could work at my own pace to a degree and be good. I'm a single parent and I need to change my employment dew to medical issues and pending surgeries. Yes, I know I don't have ALOT of time for myself and I was looking for a school where I could work at my own pace. I explained 110% of my situation to the school. They said as long as I could watch the lectures and do my best to stay in contact with my instructor's I should be OK. Ok, cool. THEN I spoke to the guy in charge of financing. He's a high pressure salesman... think of the worst used car salesman you can, and that would be him. I had to ask him if he was working on commission? He said no, why do you ask that? I told him, well, with the way your hounding me it feels like your a used car salesman. He said sorry you feel that way then carried on about the start date looming and how id be eligible to win a $2000 scholarship. I don't overly care about a scholarship. It was a wee bit of an extra bonus IF I got it. I would like to state here. Never ONCE was it discussed about other options for student loans. ONLY the Government student loan. I should have RAN when that went down. I started this course at the end of Aug. 2022. Its now the end of Dec 2022. I am now on my last "warning" and will be kicked out... $25,000 in the hole The last letter I received from them was so RUDE!! I read it to my WCB appointed psychologist and SHE was disgusted. Once the winter brake is over she will be putting me on stress leave. I'm a complete mess now. I barley sleep. I'm so overwhelmed and stressed out. I don't eat properly dew to the fact I have ZERO time for ANYTHING... and when I say ANYTHING I mean it. The most messed up thing is the school talks about mental health and if you have issues to call 211 ( eye roll ). If a mental health professional has issues with what is going on at the school, it REALLY makes one wonder! I can not keep up with what is required and how its required. Very misleading. I'll give you, the reader a taste of what's going on. Part of the course I'm in you are required to take a MS Word 2019. They NEVER explained how this 'Do at your own pace' MS Word program works. I believe its by a company called Peterson? I've been just clicking on things and doing them to the best of my ability. I was doing this one assignment on this program, it asked me to edit this letter. Ok, fine. When I came across this one question to place a watermark on it. Should be easy, right? NOPE! This Peterson program isn't set up just like Word 2019. One SHOULD find the watermark on the design tab and be able to click on it freely. NOPE!!!!! Yes, it IS under the design tab - but get this. You cant click on it. There are other options that are listed you can click on, but you can not click on the watermark option. Nothing you do, nothing you look up online will help you. You CANT click on it. I brought this up with an instructor. She asked me to mirror my screen with her on MS Teams... now I've been having NOTHING but issues with MS Teams. I've had one opportunity to call their so called "I.T" department look into it. This gentleman has a VERY thick accent. I was having a very hard time understanding him till I heard him mumble something about someone didn't set up my account right. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I need to contact them again, BUT they only work from 9 to 6 Mon to Fri. That don't work for me AT ALL! But I digress to one of the MANY MANY ISSUES I'm having. I was so upset I just turned in the assignment. I can only imagine the struggle of the people who have zero computer skills feel. In reality, I should have taken a MS course prior to enrolling because I'm so lost. I did think the school would have offered a better program then what they do. I was wrong. So very, very wrong. I looked up this Peterson program on Google reviews and they are as bad as the reviews of Reeves. I'm at a total loss as what to do... its currently Christmas 2022 and I went to log in on the schools dashboard to do the school work and its under maintenance. I'm so far behind I'm pretty sure I will be booted out. I know I'm rambling here, I'm in tears trying to gather my thoughts. All I wanted to do was better myself for me and my family. If your wanting to go back to school for anything. Go to a regular school. Not a school like Reeves. Don't waste your time and money here. read more

I can not believe this college is still running, they have the worst organizational skills I have ever seen, been trying to get ahold of them for months, i withdrew before the classes even started, never even logged into the campus portal and still they too my student aid money and are still sitting on it. this is causing me trouble to reapply to a new school as i have outstanding loans that I had withdrew before the deadline. Im in grace period with student aid and repayment is starting in June of this year for classes that withdrew from. they are stealing my money at this point. I strongly encourage anyone who is thinking about this college to be careful of them. zero stars if that was an option. read more

Steer clear of Reeves downtown Calgary campus. My experience with them has been absolutely terrible. When I was concerned about my financial situation, Reeves recruitment team lied to me about fees and rushed me to sign the enrollment contract before my student loans were approved. When my student loan failed to be approved I dropped out after 2 wks only to be told I owe the college $4800, as per their refund policy. Lance Kangas and Assmaa Kaddoura never bothered to mention to me that the refund policy would be 25% of the $20,000 tuition the second I started classes. No one was concerned about my financial situation. All Reeves cared about was getting me to enroll. Now I owe them $4800, which as a single mother, I cannot afford to pay. read more

Do not attend this College...They are only accredited by Alberta Student Aid as you will be approved for a Student Loan BUT and its a big BUTT...They are not recognized in the Business Community or other Education Institute. The courses are not transferable. The teachers are great but the Administrative staff are lacking and have a high turn over. Go the SAIT, Mount Royal or Bow Valley College...also CDI is an affiliate of Reeves College. read more

These five stars are only meant for Gord Cummings, as this college had been a hassle to work with Mr. Gord went above and beyond to help me finish and get my diploma. The School should recognize teachers like him that carry their education programs. Thanks Mr. Gord read more

the worst. the "book specialist" cant even give you your books on time. do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

This is the worst college I have ever been too. We were given three different instructors, the first two didnt have a clue about what they were doing. When asking them a question their response is hang on let me look that up. So they didnt even know what they were doing. The last instructor we had was the only good thing about the college. Janyce was amazing and thanks to her I passed all of my courses and I completed my practicum, but was told because I havent gotten my TB skin test yet that they will be failing me. I paid $22,000 to fail. I recommend that no one goes to this college they are incompentent and you dont even get the physical books you get online books that you have to pay $1,400 for. I am so disappointed in how I have been treated by this college from day 1. I plan to take the health care aide course but willl not EVER go through with Reeves or CDI College. Pleae do your research before you sigh on with Reeves College I made the mistake of not doing this. They spring things on you that they dont teldl you needs to be done. They tell you after you sign the papers and they get their money. They dont care about their students they only care about the money. Reeves College has left me no choice but to contact a lawyer that is how much they have screwed me over. PLEASE BEWARE. read more

If it was possible to give this joke of a school a star less then one, that's what I would give it. 1 start doesn't do me justice. If you wanna waste your money and time, this is the school for you. This school is absolutely a joke and I wasted 1 year of my life that I will never get back. There's nothing I regret then going to this school. The only thing I got from it, is student loan. Most of the Instructors they hire don't even know what they are doing/talking about. This school does not care about your knowledge or your future. When doing the "practicum" they train you in areas where no schooling is required for a career. Please please please, no matter how desperate you are to go to school don't let this one be an option. I promise you you will get absolutely nothing out of it. It is best for you to invest that money elsewhere. read more

I could have been the poster child for this college... Gladly would have been, even after all the bullshit. Unfortunately I received such bullying and disrespect from the office. *** THEY WILL Charge you FULL PRICE for online books EVEN IF they have only been opened for quote "1 minute" as they say "Its like you broke the spine of a hard copy book". This applies EVEN IF the textbooks weren't fully available or accessible for the duration of the class. Open a book one time for one minute (which they will FORCE you to do) and you get charged FULL PRICE. All they care about is money. No sense of responsibility to their students. Not a single apology has ever been given in regards to the struggle with LMS and MyCampus. Many people in the office use bullying tactics to get what they want. "Always ask questions" but nobody will answer them. Ask for proof, but no-one will give it to you... $18,000 tuition... for a course you have little access too and in my case ZERO resources... to teach yourself! as they keep their teachers hands tied, and tell them to NOT GIVE "lessons or lectures". Teachers are basically told only to help, if a student asks a SPECIFIC question. read more

I'm just finishing a Graphic Design diploma at Reeves College and all I can tell is I've been so lucky to find such a wonderful people here, helping me succeed in my new career as a Graphic Designer. The hands-on program equipped me with state-of-the-art Graphic Design concepts and techniques, so I strongly recommended it. I appreciate lots the job my teachers did at Reeves College and now I feel more confident about my future. read more

This is my second time I am studying at Reeves College just because I love the way they teach. For me Reeves College is the best place for everyone who wants to get ready in his or her career. read more

They really prepared for my career. I immediately got hired after doing my practicum. Thank you Aabha for teaching and preparing us

This course is outstanding! I went here a few years ago and they stuck me smack dab in the middle of the course instead of starting me at the beginning like they told me they would, and when I asked them about it they told me to come back to them with a "real problem"! The staff were so concerned, kind and helpful to my situation that I managed to tough it out for a whole two weeks, while maintaining a full time job! They taught me all of the extremely useful things about PowerPoint presentations that I had already learned in grade 9 and then charged me $7000 for it. Great program for people who are easily conned into paying ridiculous prices for a standard course that gives you around a 20% chance to get into Alberta's crumbling oil and gas industry! read more

CGD is the only course worth taking. I had a blast and learned a lot. Dan Clark is the best instructor there. He listens to his students. Challenges them, and actually TEACHES them important work relevant material. He continues to assist his students and go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the students educational needs have been met and that they have a solid understanding of what is expected of them. He has helped many graduates succeed in their future careers and made learning a joy. The atmosphere in other areas of the campus we not so wonderful to experience. As per other courses/programs..... I was left to learn on my own much of the time. I was assured the career counsellors cared for our well being, but I felt passed off constantly. Practicum was a bit of a nightmare as there was never once a consistent employee employed at any given time. Our files were handed from person to person and sometimes lost in the process. That is until Brenda Blake stepped in. She too is an amazing asset to the faculty and a pleasure to deal with. She made me feel much more secure. Over all I had a good school year. GOOD JOB DAN! Thanks millions for all your help. And Reeves.... care just a little bit more would you? read more

I will surely endorse Reeves College to my family and friends who wants to pursue their studies, because I do believe that they can be successful like me. Thank you for the great teachers out there. May you inspire others to achieve the greatness you have. read more

Higher education has never been more accessible what with more options for every type of learning style, goal and budget. One of the best decisions that I have made in my life is to join Reeves College at Calgary's Downtown Campus as a student of their Paralegal program. I have found Reeves College to be really good in terms of teaching quality, integrity in grading examination performance and overall professionalism. My best wishes to the College for all of their future endeavors. read more

The school its self is not all that great. It all depends on what course you take. Graphic design is amazing not cause of the school but because of the teacher. He helps you and personally wants you to pass . He teaches things that are current so you don't have to learn useless info you will never use. I'd give this a 5 but the school is bringing the score down. Again I say its the teacher not the school read more

After having a disappointing interaction with the enrollment staff, I still decided to enroll. However, after getting into class and having them continually set back the course - I finally graduated at the end of May when I should have graduated in the middle of March Now that I'm graduated, I've found that it is hard to find a job, and the courses are transferable to no other colleges/universities. It's costly, useless and disappointing. read more

Wanna hear a joke? :-) ....... Reeves College - Calgary City Center. Quite honestly, if I could give this post-secondary institution (if it can even be considered as such) a zero rating, I would. Unless you enjoy the idea of teaching yourself, then I can guarantee you will not be impressed with the programs at Reeves College. To put it simply, it is an over-priced, unorganized mess, and unfortunately, many of us were manipulated into this scam. The instructors are incredibly mundane, as though they dislike being here about as much as we do as students. Have a question to ask? Don't you dare!!!... Unless you want to receive a hostile, frustrated remark from the instructor. I mean, It's hard work to just sit around and supervise a group of adults, you know... Let alone (God forbid) assist them in their learning. It must be such a luxury to get paid so much for doing so little. At this point, who cares about all the ridiculousness that they told us prior to our enrollment about "accelerated diploma programs taught by industry professionals, along with a practicum." At this rate, I would have rather gone to SAIT and dealt with an over-crowded classroom and a two-year program. I'd at least be learning something. Better yet, if I wanted to teach myself, I would have enrolled in an online program that I could complete in the comfort of my home. read more

Disappointing interaction with the enrollment specialists. Their lack of professionalism drove me off. Having read the other reviews, it sounds like they saved me some money and some heartache. Perhaps I should thank them. read more

I am extremely dissatisfied with this college, where do I even start. I quickly noticed that this school was a scam within the first month. It is a sketchy school that makes you pay ridiculous fees for ebooks and tablets they lie to you about everything. I was told my instructor would be a Doctor so I quit my vacation plans for that summer because they basically bragged about this woman so much like they would finally have someone qualified to teach the class any who turns out this woman was a doctor "back home" she recited dictations that we were graded on and mispronounced everything which made it difficult, also since they were e-books i took it upon myself to use the search bar and found that the words we were being tested on weren't even in the book. I have exhausted myself trying to get decent grades to the point were I have just given up. And if I' being completely honest I'm about a week away from graduating and they have still yet to find me a practicum placement, my friend who found hers 3 months ago was told to follow certain steps she completed her half of the work but the practicum coordinator is basically doing god knows what with his time, now she has to go out and find another one. The only decent teacher in that school is Babak who is way to qualified to be wasting his time with Reeves college he is about the only teacher who answers your questions and really helps you out, the rest are to inadequate to answer your questions and tell you to refer back to the books (which do not provide the information). This school has scammed me, I feel cheated, tired, and exhausted. I wish I could go back in time and take that elevator right back to the first floor and take the train to SAIT. I thought maybe with a smaller school I would get more hands on learning but unfortunately it was a colossal waste of time and money. And just a side note one of my classes was actually held in the teachers office with like 2 chairs I'm 25K in debt for an absolute scam of a school. read more

If your thinking of going to this college don't, they promise you that after graduating they will assist you in finding a job and will be doing follow ups, post graduation nothing of that sort happened with me. I graduated in February 2016 still no job and no follow up on their side on how I am doing. During the admission interview they said these marks and classes will be counted towards universities, but no when I tried to apply to a University they said these are not valid classes. I highly recommend you to not come here. Very bad service and not living up to the expectations they had set during admission. read more

I wish I could give the school zero stars. It is overpriced, and so unorganized. My recommendation is do not go here. If you have a problem all you will get is a generic email. Scheduling of classes? Complete joke. Incredibly overpriced when you practically teach yourself. If you have a problem you will be treated like your an idiot. Hopefully anyone who graduates from this "school" can get a job and they aren't laughed at. But hey, at least they are lining their pockets with a student loan that will take you 10 years to pay off. My advice, go to Mount Royal or the u of c or even bow valley. You'll thank me later. read more

This is the worst college in the history of education. The staff has very low knowledge of what they are teaching to the students. This college was a total waste of money, I took legal studies and they were literally teaching me stuff off a powerpoint... and it wasn't even teaching but more so just reading out the words. $26,000.00 went to waste! If anyone is considering this college then you really dont know what you are getting yourself into. Please please please if no other colleges are accepting you and Reeves is, please remeber that this is a scam and they will only eat your money away without giving you any kind of proof of where all your money went towards. I recommend you just upgrade and go to an "actual college" rather then settling for this fake school. read more

They had promised me more than they could handle. They told me their school was "accredited" when in fact, once i graduated, no where even wanted to hire me BECAUSE i went to Reeve's. I can't even call it a college. They stole 11,000$ from me, for a 6 month course that i taught myself. with my own computer, and with my own resources. Fast forward to my practicum. I was pregnant during the time of my enrollment, and the practicum was what i needed in order to graduate. They didn't find me my practicum as promised, I found it for myself, because they wouldn't. Luckily with the practicum i placed MYSELF in, i was hired on as a temporary employee to get the maternity hours needed to go onto leave. When it came to graduation ceremony, i was not made aware of the date, and was actually shown pictures of my peers that I went to school with in their grad caps and gowns, and i was not there. They gave me no forewarning, and no sympathy for their mistakes. I had at least requested my graduation cap, that i had paid for with my 11,000 tuition, and they couldn't even send me that. When i finally got a hold of it, they had given me an old tassel for the graduates of 2013. I was still in High school in 2013. Very unprofessional, and will not recommend to anyone who is thinking about going to this building to teach themselves what you can easily learn in a better school such as SAIT, and for cheaper i might add. read more
