TriOS College Brampton is an unresponsive, disorganized institution that prioritizes profit over student support, leaving you to navigate your education largely on your own.
TriOS College - Brampton Campus Review: System Administrator Program
I recently completed the System Administrator program at TriOS College’s Brampton campus, and while my professors were excellent, everything else about this institution was a disaster. Let me be clear: TriOS College is a business before it is an educational institution. From start to finish, the administration and staff, particularly those in charge, have been nothing short of a nightmare to deal with. If you're looking for a college that genuinely supports you, values your time, and works toward your educational success, this is not the place for you.
Professors: The Only Positive Aspect
The professors were knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely interested in helping students succeed. They went above and beyond in teaching and ensuring we understood the material. However, no matter how great the teaching is, it’s hard to appreciate when everything else is such a disorganized mess.
Horrible Communication & Lack of Responsiveness
The administrative side of TriOS is a complete disaster. Getting a response from anyone in charge of their departments is nearly impossible. Whether it’s the receptionist, your program advisor, or someone else in charge, you will find yourself calling endlessly, with your calls either being ignored or declined. If you manage to confront them in person, you’ll get flimsy excuses like, "I was on vacation," as if that justifies their complete lack of responsibility. It's infuriating to be left hanging while important matters are pending on their side.
A Business Disguised as a College
Make no mistake, TriOS College cares more about signing you up and collecting your tuition than actually supporting you through your education. Once they have your money, you’re pretty much on your own. Their focus is on getting students enrolled, and after that, you're left navigating a maze of inefficiency. It's clear that they’re running this institution with the mindset of a profit-driven business, not an educational establishment that cares about the success of its students.
Useless Employment Support
One of the key selling points of the System Administrator program was the promise of internship opportunities to help students gain real-world experience. Well, let me tell you, that was a lie. It took two months after I had completed all my classes to even get set up for an internship, and that only happened because I found the internship myself.
The so-called "employment specialist," Alex Ferrofino, was completely useless. Not only was he ineffective at helping students secure internships, but he and the rest of the staff also frequently went on vacation without notifying students. You’d be waiting on important updates regarding your future, only to find out weeks later that they’ve been away the entire time. How can a student trust an institution that doesn't even care enough to keep them informed?
Lack of Accountability
When things go wrong, which they often do, the administration will always blame you. There’s zero accountability on their part. They’re quick to point fingers and come up with excuses as to why your training is delayed or why nothing is progressing. Their lack of urgency, coupled with their unprofessionalism, shows how little they care about their students.
Final Thoughts: Avoid at All Costs
TriOS College, especially the Brampton campus, is not worth your time, money, or effort. While the professors are excellent, the institution itself is an unresponsive, disorganized business that leaves students high and dry once they’ve taken your money. If you're considering TriOS College, think again. There are far better options out there that will give you the education and support you deserve.
Avoid TriOS College at all costs—it’s a private, for-profit institution that masquerades as a legitimate educational provider but is really just there to collect your hard-earned money. If you value your education, choose a real college.

Good teachers, embarrassing back end operations
With one exception I found the teachers to be fairly good and the knowledge imparted relevant and in depth. The school’s back end though is absolutely pathetic. Good luck if you ever need help w student financial aid, grades not being posted, them changing your class schedule around last minute etc etc etc. I graduated over 3 months ago and still cannot get a copy of my diploma despite numerous times reaching out. I had to reach out to the financial services 20 times and finally contact the head of campus to learn the person I had been working w had quit over a month earlier and nobody said anything and the link on the student portal still directed you to their contact info. Absurd. I would NOT reccomend this school to anyone, waaaay too expensive to have to be constantly chasing them, poorly functioning tech and embarrassing practices. The running gag was it may be called TriOs but it was FAILos much more often…

I, personally, regret attending this School
I realize the people that read this need to understand that I am 'only one voice', but take it from me, I completely REGRET attending this institution. I enrolled in the Addiction Worker course (2023), initially very excited about the prospect of investing time and money to learn how to advocate for these people that have been marginalized. I had found the curriculum (in words, textbooks, etc.) helpful, but, in short, the delivery was extremely sub-par - often, literally, sitting in class, and hearing the instructor read every slide ... no comments, etc. ... just reading. The level of professionalism was, also, sub-par - far too many instances to count, where the management of the people and those that were in-class, was, to be frank, unprofessional. I felt the subject-matter was not respected (across the board) and was often glossed over with very little attention to the fact that these subjects need the attention and respect they deserve (namely, sexual assault, drug overdose/death, etc.). Aside from all of this, the way in which there was little to no preparation for the internship - and a policy that there could not be any helps to aside in finding PAID internships (!). As a Family-man, the only, the ONLY reason why I enrolled in this course was to support my Family and to have a bright future for them ... this school, it's philosophies, handling of the material, policies, etc. ALL pale in comparison to what it says it does for you (taken from their website): "We specialize in hands-on education and training to have you job-ready ... Join the triOS community and let us help you build a brighter and more rewarding future." Do NOT enroll in any programs at this school. Don't waste your time and money!

Didn’t feel like I was in an environment to feel confident in learning.
The instructor was the worst!!! Shruti shah wasn’t the best help to me , I would ask for feedback and reach out for help so I was ready for an exam but she would shut that down immediately. Worst experience. Instead of helping she says she can’t…. You can’t or you won’t?

Great
The Personal support worker program was a very good experience for me. My teacher was mrs meena Singh. She’s very detailed. Passionate and dedicated in her job and her students success. She made my time at trios a great one I really appreciate her great teaching skills and sternness as it pushed me to do my best and get through every module and exams successfully. I went into my placement confident and ready for the working world as a psw and I left even more confident and willing. I couldn’t ask for a better teacher! Mrs meena really knows her stuff I’m very happy with my overall experience. Thank you ☺️
