Eastern College

I really enjoyed my experience at Eastern College; I am very pleased that I choose to further my career with you guys! Amazing teachers and great peers that are always there to help one another in times of need!

Having our instructor leave was hard, the new instructor had a different view on teaching. There seemed to be several employees leave for whatever reason and at times it seemed very unorganized. Our class had a high level of frustration. I would have liked to be more involved in school activities but no one could tell me who to talk to to do so. School spirit was very low and almost non existant.

My experience with eastren college was great a lot of wonder instructors... Everyone is willing to help you with what ever you need help with and always asks if you need the help.

I found the course to heavily concentrated on the transportation industry. Given my personal experience job hunting with the course, actually finding a position in transportation is unrealistic. I finished high school and continued my post-secondary by taking this course, so having relatively no previous experience in the field then taking this which was so concentrated on transportation made it very difficult to find a position. Many transportation positions require experience in this field, I went to numerous job interviews with many different transportations companies and they all said the same thing "you have the education but lack the experience" . So for me I had to go a different route, and thankfully I was able to obtain a position where I had done my work term. I was lucky, in the course there was not a lot taught about Procurement. Had I not have done my work term in procurement I am certain I would still be looking for a job. The course should have a section on that. There it the Atlantic Procurement Agreement, there are many different standards and so on. We touched briefly on different request proposals, but realistically not enough to confidently execute one. When someone asks me about the course and my recommendation I say; If you want to work in transportation this is a great course to take, or if you have experience working and are looking for a new career path this is the course. But for someone coming right out of high school looking to start their career it can be difficult. In regards to the course work it is very all over the place. You do your introduction course then weeks later you do the actual course and are expected to remember everything from the previous one. If you put the two together you are giving people a better opportunity to absorb the information and learn. It was very stressful and there was a lot to learn, but if the courses were longer it would have been a lot better. Overall it was good. I learned a lot in the short amount of time I was given to learn. I am happy with the position I received as a job, but I found the placement on my own and had to do more research and educate myself on procurement. Had I not come out of it with a job I am sure my review would have been greatly different.

Had a great experience, palatine care module needs to be longer, just wasn't enough time for all the reflecting. Over all good experience.
