I am a recent graduate from Willis College in Ottawa. I took the Addictions and Community Support Worker Program and I must say it was an excellent program. I know that during these times of Covid it is hard for students and faculty alike to try and get a positive experience out of school. But Willis went above and beyond. They had everything set up through Zoom and were able to get us online textbooks. If you needed any help , professors and other faculty were either just a phone call away or they would respond quickly to emails. I found the school to be extremely professional in their delivery of services and school work. The staff were very easy to communicate with and to get along with as well. I do believe that Willis has its students in their hearts and that they strive to make sure that we succeed. As for the course I took , it was easily laid out and easy to navigate online. The program is an excellent choice and out of the Private College that do offer this type of program , the one at Willis, at least in my opinion is the best choice. The reason I say that is that it includes extra courses that are not available in other colleges curriculums. So I believe with the extra content this course better prepares you for the field of Human Studies that a graduate from this program will be working in. If you are looking for a career change like I was then this is an excellent program to take, as well as the other programs that Willis offers. you will be job ready upon graduation and be able to start a new career. I am extremely satisfied with my choice to attend Willis College. You actually have to work hard to achieve success but like anything in life , you get what you put into it. so if you are willing to actually put an effort into your program , then there is no way you can't succeed. I am honoured to have attended Willis and I thank all the faculty for their help in helping me achieve my dreams and goals in a new career. As an adult student who had not been to college in over 15 years the task at first seemed daunting but Willis made it possible and I am forever grateful.
