Humber College

I have completed my second semester, so about 8 months, at North Campus in business. It's a BIG campus with a great vibe, food options and classrooms and facilities.

The professors are pretty good. Out of 12 courses, 11 professors were outstanding and one was just okay. They are respectful and make sure you understand the materials. My Principles of Management prof is a favourite. He would teach for 30 minutes then do in-class exercises and simulations designed to teach us how to run different companies and compete against classmates. It was amazing. You learn by doing and he would walk around to help us communicate within teams and manage time and learn how a business works from the inside out.

Student support is also outstanding. Blackboard is used to get assignments and grades, and to communicate with profs. It's not the best, but IT support is available in minutes if you need help. I know plenty of students who use academic services like the writing centre and counselling too who say only the best things.

Last but not least is campus life. It is really good. People at least in business work hard but also have fun. It's a multicultural campus with people from India, Canada, China, Brazil, London, you name it. This has added so much to the experience and I'm proud to study here.

Humber College is a great college and the Writing Centre is world class. I spent a lot of time there polishing my papers in first year! They take care of their students, whether it's through great insurance coverage, free tutors in first year or counselling and career services. Inspiring place to be, get connected to Toronto's business community and meet great friends for life.

This was quick and effective online learning that allowed me to fly through the Professional Management Professional (PMP). The course follows the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) latest Guide to Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) but seemed to understand exactly where I needed the most help and emphasis on important concepts. (I'm guessing this was the hardest stuff for everyone?) But I also picked up useful project management concepts, tools and skills along the way. I have no idea how I survived in construction before without knowing Gant charts! Best thing is, I did it all while working full time.
