When I was thinking about starting my schooling at Sprott Shaw College I wasn’t 100% set on what course I wanted to do and Samantha Gadon who is one of the admissions advisors helped me figure out what I wanted to do between a couple options. She was very helpful whenever I had any questions.
Sprott Shaw is awesome, I had Samantha Gadon help me with getting into the EA course with no problems. Samantha did a great job and I appreciate all her help!
I am writing to express my gratitude and share what I have experience at this campus. I have just completed Mental Health and Addiction course and I must say my instructor Ms. Shirley Phillips is the BEST. She is a knowlegable, understanding, caring, helpful individual that knows how to teach students especally mature ones.With our busy lives sometimes we fall behind but she allow us to use some of our class time to catch up on our work. Not everyone have the grace to teach mature students but she does. She wants what is best for her students and she believe in them. Knowing that you have a teacher that believe in you and shows empathy is more than money can buy. I thank God for her, I will be forever grateful...
Blessings on all the staff and students. One Love!
