Robertson College

Robertson College

433 Main St, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3B 1B3, Canada
Sketchy admission policies not designed for success of the student but rather maximum profit for a fledgling "college." I have reached out for help but the answer I received was quite unsatisfactory. Do NOT go in debt for a program that will NOT help you. UPDATE TO OWNER'S RESPONSE: I have phoned and spoken with someone in admissions who told me over the phone that a Grade 12 was required for entry. Later phone conversations with Rita Kroeker and Wayne Palendat revealed that a Grade 12 isn't necessarily required. However, they brushed me off so I made a formal complaint with the office of Manitoba Private Vocational Institutions. FURTHER UPDATE AS of DEC 2016: Unfortunately, my complaint was made with the office of Manitoba Private Vocational Institutions after the statue of limitations (which is 12 months). I continued my pleading directly with Robertson College; however, this pleading fell on deaf ears. They stand by their initial decision that a person with a barely-passing Grade 8 education qualifies for admission to this post-secondary educational program. As this is their standard, one can imagine the quality of the program. I am advocating for a young person who was deceived into taking this program. This person - arguably for foreseeable reasons - wasn't able to complete the program. After being granted admission to this post-secondary education, this young person used the admission letter to gain government student loans and student credit with RBC. All this with a piece of paper from Robertson college. To grant admission to a person with a barely-passing Grade 8 education was incredibly I.R.R.E.S.P.O.N.S.I.B.L.E. There are only 2 ways to reconcile this in my mind. Either Robertson College knows that this Vet Office Assistant program is a laughable sub-par education and will admit anyone without any hope of success. Or, worse yet, they knew she'd fail and didn't care. Government student loans were doled out as fail-safe profit for Robertson College. Now this young person is stuck paying student loans. And, doesn't have an education. And, doesn't have a job. If Robertson College really cared about students' futures, they'd do something to make this right. She came out with $7k in debts. It's IRRESPONSIBLE and IMMORAL to put this heavy load on someone who besides having only a barely-passing Grade 8 education also has some health issues. So . . . . very . . . . wrong. FURTHER UPDATE AS OF MARCH 1, 2017: Continuing to pay off loans. Still no attempt by Robertson to communicate or make things right. FURTHER UPDATE AS OF APRIL 3, 2017: Robertson College contacted me to "reiterate that the processes and transactions associated with *****'s enrollment at Robertson College, the subsequent withdrawal and the calculations/processing of refunds all followed policies/guidelines of the College, Manitoba Student Aid and the Department of Education - Private Vocational Institutions (PVI)." Basically, he states that they followed the letter of the law in regard to refunding a small portion of tuition as dictated by law. I do not disagree with this statement. However, this fails to answer the question . . . . . why did they allow someone with a barely passing Grade 8 education into a post-secondary education program? FURTHER UPDATE AS OF MAY 15, 2017: Still working on paying the student debt. FURTHER UPDATE AS OF JUNE 26, 2017: Still working on paying the student debts. FURTHER UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 11, 2017: Still working on paying the student debts. FURTHER UPDATE AS OF NOVEMBER 21, 2017: Still working on paying the student debts.

This is where I buy all my pet food. The staff is very knowledgeable and make great suggestions. If the food is not right for your pet it is often exchanged for something else at no cost. They have a great variety of food choices.

Stayed in McFeetors Hall Student residence while attending University of Winnipeg. The room they led me to had a giant hole in the wall, and when I complained, they told me to "put in a maintenance request". One week later, workers spent six hours for five days straight repairing the wall. What a great environment for studying.

The staff was professional and patient. My 5 month old husky mix was a handful! My only concern was the drop off for animal sterilization. They tell you to bring your pet to the humane society but weren't specific exactly where? The humane society isn't open till 11am. They tell you to drop your pet off in between 8- 8:30 am? Apparently at the veterinarian office? Not far from the other entrance but still confusing??? Puppy is doing well. 😍😍

I work at an animal hospital and I've had experience dealing with several pet insurance companies on clients' behalf. Speaking as a customer, the service at Petsecure is honestly one of the best I've seen - staff are so knowledgeable and very friendly. They do their utmost best to accommodate me, they're very prompt with their compensation, and they are very organized - I haven't had an incident with them losing any claims or paid invoices, like I've had in the past with other companies. The only thing I'd say about this is that it is on the slightly pricier side, given what they cover and the percentage that they reimburse. Overall, I would highly recommend!

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This vet kept our cat for 12 days for a urinary blockage, and performed procedures without consent. The vet also refused to provide a tally of charges when requested multiple times. We took our cat to a vet in Winnipeg and they found stones in his bladder - something this vet should have caught on the 4 or 5 X-rays that were taken. Avoid this vet like the plague if you love your pet!!

Dr. Bruce will always hold a special place in my heart. He has helped me thru so many difficult and often impossible seeming decisions. He never hesitates to help when we call at ridiculous hours and always has a kind and gentle demeanour towards the fur kids and ourselves. I appreciate this clinic beyond words
