Academy of Learning Career College

HR representative called to conduct phone interview on June 9, 2016. After completion of this, an in-person interview was scheduled between myself and the GM for June 13th. Arrived at my interview early and met with the GM who did not even know my name, nor what position I was interviewing for. The GM had not even reviewed my resume and took 10 mins to awkwardly read it in front of me. He described the position and explained that the college's admission had dropped severely and that they hoped to improve this. The GM also stated that the departing Student Services Adviser was leaving to pursue her in-home yoga instructional business to which he commented, "I don't think it will go anywhere, but that's her decision."

Gave him my references and he stated that they would let me know what their decision would be. Same HR representative called me on June 22 to officially offer me the position and specifically stated, "welcome aboard". Had another job offered to me the next day and turned it down. Two days after job offer from the Academy of Learning, the same HR rep called me to state that the head office had decided NOT to continue with the position. No apology from the HR rep. 

I wouldn't recommend anyone apply for this school or for any employment opportunities. The GM was totally unprepared for our interview, made an inappropriate comment regarding an outgoing subordinate's career decision and withdrew their job offer to me, resulting in me losing out on another position. 

Very disappointed in my experience with the Academy of Learning. I have some friends who have expressed interest in applying for their business programs, but they're now aware of how poorly the school is managed and that their admission rate has plummeted for good reason. Thanks for wasting my time, Academy of Learning.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing really aside from I got to WFH most days 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
- they micromanage 
- verbal & emotional abuse 
- micro aggression 
- resentment at work/life balance 
- massive lack of effective communication 
- you are expected to do the job of 4 ppl in a very small time frame
- you are forced to go to “mandatory” events and when you don’t it’s frowned upon and they do take it personally 
- assuming that since you WFH that you should be on call all the time. They have no issue calling you at 12am or on your days off to do work. And yes it’s frowned upon if you take your time off seriously 
- Coworkers had not received pay raises despite being there for 5 YEARS and they do promise to bump you every year
- 2 YEARS there and my insurance/benefits never came through 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic positivity - they demand loyalty by working over time with no compensation.
Nepotism - they openly show favouritism to colleagues of a certain nationality 
Communication - there is none. They just expect you to fill in their gaps and then get upset when you do because they could have done it but didn’t 
Money - It’s profit over students. They don’t actually care if the students are getting a proper education. A lot of them can not speak or read English but they refused to start a program I fought for that would allow the students to learn these basic things

As an instructor at this remarkable institution, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the transformative power of education in action. Our college isn’t just a place of learning—it’s a vibrant community where curiosity is nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and every student is empowered to discover their unique path.
               Academic Excellence
From cutting-edge programs to passionate faculty, the academic environment here is rigorous yet deeply supportive. We challenge our students to think critically, engage deeply, and rise to their fullest potential.
                Culture of Care
What sets our college apart is its heart. Whether it’s the mentorship between instructors and students, the inclusive campus culture, or the way we rally around each other during tough times—this is a place where people matter.
               Innovation Meets Inspiration
Our classrooms are alive with ideas. Whether it’s a poetic reflection, a scientific breakthrough, or a collaborative project that bridges disciplines, innovation thrives here. As an educator, I’m constantly inspired by the passion and resilience of our learners.
                Preparing Global Citizens
We don’t just teach subjects—we cultivate character. Our graduates leave not only with degrees, but with the empathy, adaptability, and vision to make meaningful contributions to the world.
Finally I would say working with Ms. Mimsong and Ms. Peggy is one of my my best time. I hope it will continue.

I Didn't feel appreciated or welcomed as if they pushed me under the bus.  I was asked to move to another location and I didn't want to move because I had a feeling if I did relocate facilities that I  was going to get let go because the other girl moved into my spot.  My work was just sitting at a kiosk with no phone or a real desk  people thought I was some customer service representative for Genesis. They never gave me a chance to learn or expand in experience.  The manager said she moved me so I could learn at a slower pace for improvement but that didn't happen I was let go instead and I wasn't there for even a month. This is very sad especially when you get promoted and then it's a lie after. It's like how would the management feel if they were put in a position just like I was. I feel sorry for anyone who works with this organization. I also feel so sorry for the students I enrolled for them to get into this college I pray they leave and go somewhere else to learn instead. 

The owner and his wife would ask you to buy tea and coffee from the nearby Mcdonalds, subway and if u refuse the unprofessional wife would give u a hard time and say nasty things about in front of the students. The owner has zero English skills and the wife thinks herself like a queen of England. The co-worker's 65-year-old woman who is always sucking up to the owner and his wife to keep the job and the other one tall guy who would rip u off by selling old garbage computers and IPTV media boxes. The owner would never come to the college and is always travelling overseas and the operations run by UNPRODUCTIVE WIFE AND HER SYCOPHANTS. A very much unethical college wherein the learning coaches are doing the exams of the students so that the management can buy new homes and new cars year after year.

I worked here for 2 years and left ultimately because I was repeatedly told they could not ensure I would have full time work, even though I was hired full time. No job security.  No raises. No room for growth. It’s clear through managements communication that you are dispensable. There has no concept of retaining staff or about promoting the culture at work. They refuse to give you any tools that you need to do you work and are generally left to fend for yourself. Management doesn’t answer emails in time and when they do are rude and condescending. Very poor work environment. I would not recommend working here. I regret not leaving earlier. 

I don't know where to start.  I'm normally pretty relaxed but this place is really something. I only lasted 6 week. Week 1 was sunshine and rainbows. Management and staff were pleasant enough to deal with.  Week 2,3,4, during meetings I'm noticing rude and derogatory comments to my colleagues from management. Week 5 and 6, the emotional level of management here is worse than dealing with children. In what world do you completely disrespect your employees, in front of other employees!  Good luck trying to keep good people! Turn over rate here is off the charts and management is still trying to figure it out. Good luck to the Dumbo and 2 wicked witches
