“I am still a student here, and am having a wonderful experience. The instructor and students are amazing and very helpful ans supportive. I know I can for help anytime and as a team, we work through it together until we understand. The only thing I would ask for is, to give more "in class" online time. Otherwise, I recommend this school.”
“Deciding to embark on a new career path was a substantial choice to make; choosing Willis College is turning out to be the best decision I've made on that path so far. The demands are high because the rewards are high and Willis gets it. The program is focused, intensive, and valuable. I'm taught by an industry expert and his level of instruction is as good if not better than any professor I have had in university. Tuition covers all textbooks, virtual labs and career counselling services. The virtual labs are awesome, I get to operate multiple cybersecurity tools in a real-time environment. My classmates are all across Canada and all are so focused and competitive that it makes me better by studying and working alongside them, virtually. I am literally studying alongside future leaders of the cybersecurity industry and that is tremendous motivation to do my best everyday! Willis College gives me a competitive advantage.”
“Been a great experience so far. My only complaint is the moodle program has a lot of errors and needs updating. Also some teacher(s) have a teaching style where I find it hard to retain information since they don't explain in enough detail. Very nice staff tho really enjoying the experience.”
“Why is Willis College not recognize by govt entities?
I mixed feelings, so i can give any ratings at the moment. I only ticked cos i wont be able to submit this request without ticking a star rating. Doesn't really reflect my feelings”
“School was suppose to provide hard copy books as agreed, Covid-19 came and they resulted to e-books. saying publisher is not publishing books anymore, how is that suppose to be the students business? you ought to sought that out and when students asked their response wasn't pleasant. The school is just about your money”
“For me Willis College is more tan I expected, I am so Happy with my PSW course, my Teacher Ann are teaching us in very well way! I want to says Thank you so much for every one!!”
“Not impressed with their admissions process. In the midst of it, after having an initial phone conversation and being asked for my credentials, they responded to me 3 days later ( Actually there was evidence that they try to call me at the two day mark) that the government funded PSW course (July start date) is full and I could be put on a waitlist. In my experience most institutions have a cut off date that affords them time to go through the applications before they turn around and turn people away and put them on wait lists. I was informed on my phone call that they had an overwhelmingly large response specifically because the government was paying for the program and I knew there was urgency for getting my credentials in because of this but at no point was I told that there was a specific cut off dates I was totally the under the impression that the next steps as alluded twice to in the phone call was I would be scrutinized by Chantel. In fact I was encouraged by the response on the phone. I had responded about submitting my credentials. Not professional not organized not impressed. My belief is that I was actually discriminated against by the information that I gave even before my official interview . Fortunately Ottawa offers other options for the PSW program. After reading another review about the slip ups in administration I have to agree that something’s amiss with administration”
“Perfectly organized students service and teaching team. I am definitely enjoying and feeling accomplished to study in the best career college of the town- the WILLIS college.”

“Being the giney pig class this past year with COVID-19 was rough but for the most part my class and teacher were very supportive thanks guys
Along with some of the other staff aswell”
“The instructors actually care! Even student services! Xaviana took the time to call each of us after our first month prepared to offer resources if we needed. Michael is a great teacher! He's super thorough and wants to make sure we do well!”
“Staff and faculty are amazing. Loving the personal one on one vs my experience at Algonquin.
Jeff is amazing, on the ball. I probably thanked him enough times, but another one here for Jeff.
Online zoom is surprisingly much better than in class. I'm sitting "in front" all the time with the ability to interact with my classmates via chat.
I really dislike the e books. They hurt my eyes. Tuition fees should be cheaper due to the usage of e books. I feel like I have been gouged.
I wish the exams were proctored online somehow. This would bring out the best in learning.
All in all, at this point and time, with Mike teaching the CSA program, I've never had so much fun learning.
Thank you Willis.”
“I regret that I took Cyber Security Analyst Program at Willis College. The program seems to be poorly organized. It is insanely intense; however, the stuff I am studying right now is not hard. There are just so many assignments that there is no time to study. I have been submitting these assignments without realizing what I am doing. I do not feel I have learned anything so far. I can try to get the assignments done from sunrise to sunset, or I could learn something real for the same amount of time and less amount of stress. I do not even gain any skills this way. There is also a lot of unnecessary stress that comes as a bonus to this program. Besides, this program costs way too much for what they actually give. Great dissatisfaction!”
