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.
