My daughter danced at SBDC for 7 years and every year our experience there just got worse. In hindsight I can't believe we actually stayed as long as we did - very poor decision on my part and I truly regret not switching my daughter to a different studio years prior. There are a few wonderful instructors for sure but the studio director/owner is a nightmare.

I was new and nervous and obviously that didn't matter because I was bullied and beaten down at every chance, by teachers, studio owner, class mates, AND EVEN CLASS MATES MOTHERS. Save yourselves the issues, just go to Elements instead...

Afterwards if you do not sign anything they will send you an "offloading package" to get you to sign something so you are liable!! So sad.

I called them and emailed them regarding the pre requisition to qualify for the sonography course…read moreadmission as a Medicsl Lab Assistant and Medical Aesthetician. The pre requisition courses they mentioned to get the admission for Sonography program were already finished by me in my other lab Assistant and Medical Aesthetician programs. Whenever I want some clarification regarding this, they want me to pay a non refundable $500 before answering my questions. All they want is $500 to answer my questions. Very much money minded and couldn't see any professionalism. More over the fee for this program is $48000 and for our practicum we are obliged to spend money for our accommodation and food(most of the time out of Province) For this much fee, do we still need to pay for our accommodation? Incredible... Never recommend this College to anyone, very none co operative

There's also ZERO job security, and you can get terminated anytime for no reason! I constantly felt uncertain about my position, which created a lot of stress for me (it seemed that this was a common feeling among many others as well). From an academic perspective, I was very concerned about how heavily AI tools seemed to be relied on in creating curriculum. Technology can support education, but programs that require significant tuition should be built through thoughtful academic design and strong educational oversight. Based on my experience, I would recommend researching carefully before accepting a role or enrolling in a program at NIWE.

regret enrolling in NiWE Academy. The program is extremely expensive for what you actually receive,…read moreand my experience there was incredibly disappointing. The tools provided were very low quality. Several students had scissors fall apart during the program, and no replacements were offered. Considering the cost of the program, it's unacceptable that the tools students are required to buy are such poor quality. The training itself was minimal. We were loosely shown how to perform about four haircuts, and even those demonstrations were rushed and poorly explained. There was almost no instruction on fundamentals like how to properly hold scissors, sanitation procedures, or consistent cutting techniques. Now that I'm working in a barbershop, I honestly feel like I'm starting from zero. During orientation, the dean spent a long time talking about her credentials and how strict the academy is about professionalism--no being late, black clothing only, no ripped clothes, and professional conduct. In reality, none of those rules were enforced. One student showed up almost three hours late during orientation and was allowed to stay. The classroom environment was chaotic. Students were yelling, running around, and behaving unprofessionally. At one point someone punched a mannequin so hard it flew across the room and hit me. I filed a safety complaint, but nothing meaningful changed. The final exam process was also concerning. Cheating was widespread, with one student sharing answers with others while the instructor repeatedly left the room. When I reported it, I was told, "Who cares, we just want everyone to pass at this point." Everyone received extremely inflated grades and overly positive feedback regardless of performance. Most students scored close to 100% even when the haircuts were clearly poor. We also never practiced on real models, which left many of us unprepared for real barbershop work. To make things worse, the academy is now withholding my diploma until I pay for the same low-quality tools that many students already had issues with. Overall, the program felt disorganized and unprofessional. I left with debt, poor tools, and very little practical training. I would strongly recommend researching other barber programs before considering NiWE Academy.
