Reviews of Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) (Kindergarten)

Steven A Muratori

5 day course turned into a 30 day wait to receive marks back, very little communication with giving a 5 business day email response time which is atrocious. Ill never take another course through these guys online again.

Beautiful building and facility that includes a good cafeteria and lecture theatre. I can’t speak to recent programming but I took my Primary Care Paramedic course here years ago.

Teachers can not teach. The institute does not check how their teachers mark or write exams. Poor support for students. Some of the teachers were on a power trip. Ex cops who miss the power??

Amazing facility, great staff and an overall great environment for first responders training.

The Bylaw Course is a complete waste of time and money. If you do not have a diploma or degree, and many years of experience as a security guard, loss prevention officer, or a former police officer, local government won't hire you. The certificate does nothing to help you get a job. Take this course if you already working bylaw or if you are trying to supplement your current years of experience in some sort of enforcement. And even then, the competition is fierce and very difficult to get in . New West campus is nice and welcoming .I'd take other classes here cause the environment is cool.

Second time attending this institute, it is by far the worst organised business I have ever had to deal with, nothing has changed in ten years, I recommend avoiding this school if at all possible. Instructors showing up last minute with out lesson plans, assigned work that has not been graded then disappears from website. You are unable, or with great difficulty able to actually talk to anyone in a department, if you do get through they try to pass concerns off to another person or never return your call. If I could have given no stars I would, and even that would be to generous.

I would not recommend JIBC. When you take a course here and complete it, they do not take the time to email or postal mail you a copy of your certificate, but rather only give you a digital copy (cheap pdf). If you want a mailed copy for your records, they'll charge you $36.75. Even if you just want a copy of the PDF sent to your email address to print off your own copy, anytime after 90 days, they also want to charge you $36.75 (15% of the tuition cost for a BST). Even to find out your certificate number, necessary for renewing your BC Security Services Lisence, $36.75. I don't see why they don't just make it available via the MyJIBC web-portal. Considering it is a pdf that's about 36kb in size, even if they had 3000 students per year, it would be ~100MB of storage to keep it accessible. A 16GB USB flash drive with 150x that much storage costs $9.95. Thus, it feels like a cash-grab. A $10 dollar fee might seem appropriate for the 5 minutes of work it would take to type in a student number, download the pdf and attach it to an email. Or a $10 dollar fee for an automated system to email it out which would be extremely-easy to setup. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what office workers are already on salary to do but to try to tack on an additional 15% the tuition cost to email a PDF? Even printed, sealed and mailed high school transcripts cost $10 dollars and most universities charge at most $20-$25. I don't really see how JIBC expects to get away with charging $36.75 to send a PDF. That's my little tirade on pricing. As for the educational experience taking a BST? You get an online pdf to read thru of about 120 pages and have to do a quiz every 20-25 pages. About 5 quizzes in total of 20-30 questions per quiz. Then a final exam with nearly the same questions in person. The majority of the questions fall under the category of common sense minus a few specific legalese-type questions: some people might not know the names of specific statues or acts, or know the difference between indictable and summary conviction offenses prior to taking the course. Basically though, you're paying $300+ for a pdf, a couple of quizzes and a final exam. Personally, I feel that's a bit overpriced considering if you take it online you get 0 hours of in-person instruction. By comparison, a UBC charges about $300 dollars for a full-semester course with 120 hours of in-person lectures, multiple assignments, multiple quizzes, a midterm and a final examination plus typically a tutorial or lab. Up to the reader of this review to decide if my gripes are just silly rants or reasonable. I feel like the value for the money and customer service received when asking for a certificate number were worth about 1.5 stars out of 5. However, I can't do half-star ratings on Google so I arbitrarily decided to round down.
