Student Testimonials
When I first began attending Insignia College I was told
about the administrations “open door” policy, what an understatement!
Whether I needed help with funding, or was feeling unmotivated, or just wanted
to chat about nothing, I have never been told to wait, or that they were to
busy. I think Insignia’s true policy is “students first.”
Insignia College has a very happy atmosphere and great
teachers that help me realize my dream of becoming a vet assistant.
I was very nervous about going back to school at 37,
until I met the teachers and staff for Insignia College. It is a very
welcoming and knowledgeable school. It’s like we are all family here.
They are very upbeat and great people. The teachers and staff are always
there if you need help or just have questions. I have learned a lot of
new skills in my VOM course. I would recommend Insignia College of Health
and Business to any who wants to learn.
Before I discovered Insignia, I was looking at obtaining
my Veterinary Assistant diploma somewhere on the mainland. When I found
Insignia College, I was pleased to find that not only were they located in Victoria
and locally owned, but they are also the only college on Vancouver Island offering
the VOM Diploma program. Since enrolling, I have been repeatedly impressed
by the level of support and expertise offered by the administration and the
instructors. Not only do I enjoy school, but I am also on the road to
a successful career in the Veterinary field.
My name is Tina Louise and I had decided to change my
career at the age of 46. I enrolled at Insignia College for a course in
Veterinary Assistant. Insignia College has the most amazing teachers,
they actually care and take the time to make sure that you are learning, due
to their special care and attention I have gone from and average of C+ all my
life to an A – A+ student and I may even pass this course with honours
for the first time in my life. They are exceptional teacher and as a college
you couldn’t ask for a better Director or Administrators they have always
been there for me and have taken the time out their busy schedule to help me.
I would highly recommend this college to anyone, how could I not when for the
first time in my life I am actually enjoying school.
I think Insignia College is a great school because they
focus on the student and what the student needs. Education is their number
one priority. I know when I first started going here I was not sure how
things would turn out, but they gave me the confidence and the will to achieve
my goals. They push you when you need to be pushed and they support you
through whatever happens. I am so glad I chose this school and I know
the experiences and the knowledge I have gained here will last through out my
entire life.

Instructor
Rarely is a person granted an opportunity to work with
and help people who have consciously and purposefully decided to open some doors
in their lives and actively learn new sets of skills. That I get a chance
to teach these extraordinary individuals the computing technologies they are
going to use in their new fields of study is a real treat. When teaching those
few who find its their first time using a computer for more than surfing the
Internet or sending e-mails it is truly a fun and rewarding experience.
