The instructor for the CMH PSW program, Dennis Edwin, is amazing! He's a very easy-going, yet professional and mature teacher who has done a phenomenal job at getting our class introduced to the basics of orientation!

Andrea Sarvis

A great opportunity for people who didn't think they'd be able to start again! Wonderful instructor, it's been a great experience.

Mac Cruz

Awesome College especially for Nursing and Health Care Assistants. Instructor Lee Smith is a Bomb! She was very hands-on and very helpful. We love her! Thank you DCC and thank you to the government of Canada for doing the fundings and helping people to find a better career and better future. ????????????

Nadine Atkinson

Amazing staff, great team to work with!

Dyl F

Was a great college to attend! Staff are welcoming and helpful :)

Catherine Temple

If your looking to upgrade your skills I would highly recommend this service. The employment rat is assured post graduation, the instructors are highly proffessional and you are treated with respect from the time of inquiry to post graduation and the job hunting process. Many students are employed before they complete.

Joanne Assen

Congratulation's to the Graduation class of HCA's we will miss you on Campus.

Shandra Lacey

I have worked here 6+ years. The staff work their butts off to provide good service within the bounds of Regulatory Requirements. Our programs meet all regulatory standards. The majority of students get job offers immediately out of their clinicals/preceptorships. I love meeting all the people that come in to ask questions about school and I love working with this team. Looking forward to many more years working here.

Amazing place to get your education because they are helpful and flexible with a reasonable extent. It is in downtown so parking is quite limited so park early.

Super grateful for Launie and her help at DCC!

Alex Hancock

Please save your money and go anywhere else. This is a very disorganized, family run college with a huge lack of instructors for students. I have gone through many instructors who were not competent, and been forced to spend money on extra added "mandatory" courses that DCC requires that are not related to my studies or required legally for the program. They do not advertise the true experience that they will give you. Please contact me if you would like to discuss any inquiries into my truly horrific experience with this disorganized and unprofessional family run college.

Laura Farrant

As an employee, I find that this is a school with a community of people that come together to help improve the lives of people who wish to make a change in their future.

Danette Deni Jorgensen Reynolds

They have an awesome, knowledgeable staff, instructors are excellent, lots of hands on practical and they really care and want to help. I really did well in the smaller class. Study what they teach you and do your assignments and you will have no problem getting through it. I'm so happy with my results...I'm going to keep going and enroll in the LPN course hopefully, Sept. 2019. Thank you staff and instructors...U Guys Rock!!!!

Discrimination and perpetuation of false information is not just allowed from instructors to their students, the college will actively support their instructors while doing so and then blame a student if they bring it up and claim them to be disrespectful and bias. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

Danielle Dodsworth

Love DCC excellent school with excellent teaching and I am always proud to say I went there and graded from there because it is a great school. Thank you for my amazing education.

Marika Harris

Nicole B

Greeted by friendly staff and got a free Tour.

Roberta-Mary Williams

Honestly, such an amazing college. Each staff will support you every step of the way to graduation, they will treat you as a person rather than just a number like most colleges. Glad I chose DCC! :)

This College is absolutely amazing 5/5 stars. I had a great time here learning to become a health care assitant. The hands on training really helped me get the experience I needed to feel confident in the work place. Would deffinalty recommend for anyone looking to presue a career in health care.

My experience with dcc was the best ever. Everyone is awesome!!

Carolyn Meech

Most of the staff were pleasant and professional. It was a long course that could probably be shortened by a month. I had a great class and met some new friends and already have a great job.

brittany kelly

Awesome teachers and supports!

Jona Ecraela

Dennis is a great teacher. knowledgeable and full of humor. We will miss him in the class onwards.

Samantha P

Horrible experience. Overcharges for courses that were less than 10k everywhere else, including other private colleges. Curriculum poorly laid out and taught. Half the time, the teachers didn't even know what they were doing. My instructor spent most of her time on her phone planning her wedding and having students who further ahead helped students who needed help and struggled rather than helping. They also having Nothing designed for students that can speed through the curriculum; management treats you like a child in terms of attendance and time management, so welcome to an overpriced preschool. Also, most local employers in CR will not touch DCC credentials due to the poor quality of students they turn out. So beware.

Kim Meikle

Great experience! Excellent instructor!!! Feel so fortunate to have had the instructor that I did, officially finished the HCA course on a Friday & was hired for a job on Monday!

jeanry ecraela

I am so Blessed to be part of the DCC family, teaching the HCA course. I love sharing the gift of caring and watching people succeed by changing their lives. By far the best part of my nursing career so far.

Molly Schwarz

Great Collage! I am an alumni now working for DCC. Becoming a Practical Nurse has changed my life, I know I can have job security wherever I move. DCC is a hands-on College that works really hard to create job ready graduates .

Lynne Einfeld

The instructions are amazing and knowledgeable Small classes make for easy and fun learning ... I highly recommend choosing DCC!!!

Sapana Palmer

Teacher is very positive! Class is inclusive and interesting.

Tyler-James Davidson

Spent too much money on a highly condensed course that encourages those to join RCMP or continue with law enforcement. Limited parking. Limited. Was informed that this course would mean the written portion of the RCMP exam would not be necessary depending on grade from the course. This was redacted after sign up. Was informed this course is recognized by the RCMP. RCMP recognize courses for 2 years not an expensive "nice to have" diploma. We had to make corrections to every test and and nearly every quiz due to incorrect discrepancies in answers. the course is based in Ontario laws and not BC where the course I took was being taught. I know the school started in ontario but was not expecting an education for another province than I currently live. Having financial issues I recieved way more money than I should have for my school loan and now have a hefty $220/month for 8 years. There is also no job guarantee. Could have spent less than half the cost of the course to pursue a course that actually pertained to my wants. The list goes on.

The best college school!!!they will support and help you through all the way and they will guide you in finding a job. Had an amazing and awesome experience!!! Thank you very much with all my heart❤❤❤
