Debunked: Eight Myths About Going Back To School
If you’re thinking about going back to school you may be wrestling with the decision based on some out dated or misinformation. We chatted with our student services department to debunk eight myths about going back to school with the hopes that it will help any prospective students overcome their hesitancy and gain the education that they’ve always wanted!
1. Private Colleges Are Too Expensive
We can appreciate your concern on the financial investment in coming to school. Many students have felt that they would not be able to afford school initially because they aren’t aware of all their financial options. The reality for most of our students is that they have not set aside funds for school, and that is fine, because we have a fantastic financial advisor team who can help students find the best financial options to afford this very important decision.
2. You Get More Learning From Community Colleges
Whether you attend a community college, university, or career college like us, you will receive a great education. What makes an education at CBBC Career College different is your ability to complete your studies in a shorter amount of time. Because our delivery is not semester-based, students are able to complete the same amount of in-class hours in one year as opposed to two to three years in a community college. So would you rather be working one year from now, or JUST starting your career in two to three years?
3. Private Colleges Aren’t Recognized
CBBC Career College is accredited and registered with the provincial education ministry! Therefore, our students are eligible to apply for government financial aid programs. Ultimately, if you are wondering if employers will recognize your diploma from CBBC Career College, the answer is YES!
4. Employers Won’t Recognize Private College Diplomas
If your goal is to start a career after you complete your education, that is what our goal is for you too! This will require hard work and dedication to your studies but, If you are determined to give this your best, then we will do what we do best!
We will also support your job search with our Career Services Team. They will help you update and design your resume, help you tap into your hidden job market, send you job listings, and even interview role play if needed.
There isn’t a school in the world that can “guarantee” a job, but what we can guarantee is that we will provide you with the education, the skills, and support to be successful.
5. “I Wasn’t A Successful Student In High School So I Won’t Be Successful Now.”
We can certainly appreciate your concern. Many students feel the same way. But, what most soon realize is that they are not the same person now that they were in highschool! At that time their priorities and focus were not necessarily on education, career, or their future. Your NOW success is dependent on your effort and determination NOW. Plus, you’ll have back up! We will assist you with ensuring that you are provided with the support and resources that you need to succeed.
6. New Canadians Won’t Qualify For School
Many of the students that attend CBBC Career College ARE in fact new to Canada, and most are eligible to apply for our programs. Understandably, school systems and delivery is different in all parts of the world so we can discuss your particular situation in more detail to get a better understanding of how we can be of assistance to you.
7. Our Instructors Are Unqualified
In addition to meeting the Provincial Ministry requirements as an educational institution, we employ instructors who are industry professionals with a proven track record of success in the field. Our instructors provide you with both the theoretical and practical skills needed to ensure success in your chosen career.
8. School Schedules Aren’t Flexible
This simply isn’t true. Our schedule is meant to cater to the busy schedules and lives of our students.

What Our Graduates Are Saying
I think the thing that has stood out to me the most in the program is how much the teachers care about your success and how they work hard to create a positive environment to learn in. It’s really amazing! They really encourage all the students to celebrate each other’s successes and help each other out. I really struggled with the decision of which school to attend, and I know that I made the right choice.
