Not sure how many of you have heard about them, cause I know quite a few people asking me about them and if theyre legit. I wanted to get the word out because this place advertises like crazy (Kijiji for ex). Well are they legit? Yes, but they also are a buncha liars who will constantly bullshit you every chance they get.
Theyre private owned company (by Rick Harding) who gets paid by the govt for each student they get to complete their 1 month training job search and career course. I took it in May as well as a few others I know. What you are about to read is exactly how we all felt after taking the course.
Theyre great at resume and cover letter writing as well as job interviewing prep. I learned lots and completely redid my resume and CL, night and day difference! Well worth it for this.
But other than that dont believe a single word they say ever. Right from day one, they will constantly say how they will set you up with jobs, leads, contacts they know, blah blah blah but they dont do jack shit. Trust me, everyone working there has a shit load of contacts that they know, they have some serious connections in the city no matter what industry you are in. Their main source for networking is Linkedin (which they tell you about the first day) and their all loaded with contacts. But they dont do nothing but constantly lie and bullshit you about giving you those leads.
On day 1, Rick (the owner) will open up by telling everyone the first big lie. He says that they work for the govt and the program is paid by the govt - which is complete bullshit because they get paid by the govt not work (uhh huge difference). Basically Rick gets paid a huge lumpsome of money by the govt for each student they get to take and complete the course. He then pays his workers under him.
You dont complete the course, he doesnt get paid.
This is why during the course they will all constantly lie to you "we will set you up, Jen is great she has so many contacts" blah blah blah, so it keeps you in your seat to finish the course. But once youre done and sign the papers they ditch you like last nights leftovers and move onto the next batch of people. They wont even talk to you or reply to your emails.
Their1 on 1 coaching which takes place in the final week is absolute garbage, Norman doesnt do shit and his sessions last 5mins tops.
My point is, dont believe a single word they say about them helping you find work or providing leads cause all they are good for is resume and cover letter writing, thats it nothing more! The 1 on 1 coaching was as helpful as coaching from a random hobo at your local 711, and they will constantly say this and that to bullshit you but they never follow up with anything they say.
