Student Life at Business Skills College

"Change Your Skills … Change your world!"
That's our motto. We believe when it comes to changing skills "one size does not fit all." Our students and potential students are individuals with a wide range of transferable skills, aptitudes, experience and qualifications. Our role is to help you attain the skills needed to reach your new career objective. You should be very proud of yourself, for having the courage to take this next step in your life. It is not always easy to learn new skills, and we promise to do everything we can to ensure that your learning experience at Business Skills College is a positive one.

One significant difference between Business Skills College and other colleges is the way we teach. Some colleges believe instructor-led to be better whereas we do not. Some colleges consider self-paced a better method whereas we do not. We believe that no one way is the “right” way. We use different methods for different segments of the program.

During your program at Business Skills College, you will experience the following teaching methods:
  • Individualized pace with assistance from highly qualified instructors
  • Instructor-led lectures and interactive small group discussions
  • Individual coaching
  • One-on-One and small group tutoring sessions
How will YOU benefit from this type of training?
You will benefit from the way we teach at Business Skills College if you fit into any of the following:
  1. You learn by doing, not just listening.

    At Business Skills College, the skills you learn are hands-on. Practical tests and exercises that are similar to what you will encounter on the job have been designed to supplement the hands-on exercises which you will encounter throughout the manuals. These tests will enable you to apply your new skills and help build your confidence. That's the Business Skills College difference.

  2. You require additional time to learn and absorb.

    At Business Skills College, you learn at a pace that is comfortable for you. Qualified, experienced teachers work closely with you; they monitor your progress and guide you through your program. If you fall behind, you can take advantage of the extra training hours we provide our students at no additional charge. And, if you need more help, you can also participate in one-on-one or small group learning sessions which are also available at no additional charge.

    In an instructor-led teaching system, everyone is expected to move at the same pace. The teacher moves forward whether you understand the material or not. The entire class cannot wait for those who need extra time to learn. At Business Skills College, we use self-paced material and complement it with lectures and coaching sessions. We have found this variety gives students the best of both worlds and puts them in charge of their learning process, not the teacher.

  3. Don't "re-learn" the things you already know.

    Because the courses can be completed at a pace that is comfortable for you, you may use previous experience to accelerate through the material.  At Business Skills College, you don't have to wait for someone else to “get it.” You don't have to sit through classes reviewing material that you already know. Every moment of your learning time at Business Skills College is productive.

    The Diploma Programs at Business Skills College are composed of a core curriculum along with a series of electives. Our programs enable you to build on existing skills, while developing new ones. That means that you can fulfill your diploma requirements quickly and take as many electives as you can complete during your enrollment. More skills = More job opportunities. And, at Business Skills College, there is never a charge for taking electives. In fact, we encourage it.

  4. You want to attend school around your family or job responsibilities.

    At Business Skills College, you can create a flexible schedule that fits into your outside commitments. If you are sick one day, there is plenty of opportunity to make up missed time. You don’t miss out on the subject matter like you would with an instructor-led program.

    Business Skills College is a good choice because:

    • You can benefit from having a flexible schedule.
    • You have physical challenges that require you to get up and move around frequently.
    • You want to spend more than the minimum required hours training.
